This doesn't really seem to do anything I want. I have a channel with my extended family called "Baby Pictures" which is a "subscribe if you want to" channel for sharing pictures of my son without blowing up the other channels, and this seems like a use case for stories...but that 24 hour timer is kind of way too short for it?

This would be much more interesting to me with more options - namely: I'd like to be able to setup an untrusted client somewhere (Syncthing can do this, but its not a social app) which would archive the stream of content into a story in encrypted form for me, and let people with channel access recover it without keeping it fully cached on their phones. That way all those photos which I would like to keep would go somewhere where I could get them.

Obviously none of this is necessary, I do other things right now (Syncthing and not using inbuilt camera apps in applications).
