Add stories to app, also with enhancements #133

Open blacklightpy opened 10 months ago

Stories is not yet on the app, please add it. Also I'm not sure if it's possible to click the user's profile icon anywhere to view their story. I couldn't find anyone posting a story to check it out. I've opened a similar issue in pixelfed/ideas#85 for enhancements.

Stories can't be viewed from the profile page tho. Also from the inbox page. Wherever the profile picture is displayed, the story should be viewable.

Also, currently the story section shows the story itself as the thumbnail, but profile pictures would be more appropriate as we identify people with it.

The story content can be made viewable in a seperate section in the feed, after one or two posts like it's on the web view.

Also in the current implementation, when a video is posted first, no thumbnail is generated. Even posting a picture afterward doesn't change it. On the other hand, posting a video after a picture doesn't create the same problem. Apparently the thumbnail is generated only for the first story and only if they're pictures.

Also, video uploads get errors sometimes. I haven't been able identify any single property that is responsible for this. The videos that worked and didn't work were AVC / AAC / MP4 of varying bitrates, varying aspect ratios, all with the YUV colour space, and some of them encoded with Lavf. One exception was an MKV with AVC / Vorbis codec.

Another problem is that the images have a curved boundary, beyond which the image is just stretched horizontally like they crossed the event horizon instead of getting cropped out.

Anything else would be pixelfed/ideas#85
