@dansup I have typically hated when other apps add 'stories' to their apps. This is the one app that will get a free pass.

Lookin smooooth!

@dansup You're overthinking it. Stories are chronologically ordered, right? Why would you care about the full username in the start view? I'd only ever show full usernames in the actual single/gallery view – never on the start view.

@dansup … no need to differentiate local / remote … quite honestly, from a #user / #consumer point of view I mostly don’t care WHERE the other person is located, as long as the #interaction is smooth …

@dansup I think you shouldn't be worried about username length.
It looks fine this way 😍

@dansup the issue does not only arise with local/remote users, but with any sufficiently long username. Highlighting external accounts will therefore no solve the issue, if you can't ensure that at least 15(?) characters are always visible.

You are definitely not overthinking. It's great to know, that issues like this are not just ignored. However, in this particular case I would think it's ok to accept the risk for now.

@dansup If you can only see the stories of people you follow (in this overview) I don't see a problem. Showing the full name when viewing the story is sufficient

You don't have to copy Instagram pixel for pixel (and you already aren't). Make the name two lines and put the domain, if any, on the second line.

@dansup Pretty sure you can push the feature without fixing this, but if you want to, adding a server line might be a good way.
