And surely enough, after some tests and research, I found the perfect solution that allows anyone to create Instagram stories using their mouse and keyboard with a pretty interface that also supports all of the interactive elements (polls, Q&A, …) that are so important for a story post to be complete. Trying to line up every pixel perfectly, while made easier by Instagram’s UX team, is still unintuitive and it is quite easy to unintentionally completely displace an element or even delete it completely off the draft.Īfter a bit of time spent contemplating my partner creating her own stories for a brand she’s responsible of, I figured there had to be a way for this process to be less convoluted. Creating Instagram stories can be a painful and arduous process on a small touch screen such as the one on an iPhone or a midrange Android smartphone.
