Web Story Extra features

Hi there and thanks for reaching out.

To clarify, you would like to add a carousel _inside_ a web story? I don’t think something like that is planned. Sounds like it would result in a very confusing user experience.

But the good news is, the Web Stories format is open source and part of the AMP framework. So if you have any feature requests for the format itself and not just this plugin, you can share your ideas at https://github.com/ampproject/amphtml

Oh wow that is a lot of different features ??

Shoppable Hot Spots

This is supported by the Web Stories format itself and by this plugin. You can add such shoppable dots when connecting the Web Stories plugin with Shopify or WooCommerce on the settings page. See https://wp.stories.google/docs/how-to/shopping/

Quiz / Poll / Slider
Countdown

Already supported by the Web Stories format, but not by the plugin. See https://amp.dev/documentation/components/stories/amp-story-interactive

We don’t currently have plans to add support in the plugin.

For everything else, I recommend opening feature requests at https://github.com/ampproject/amphtml

Ahh dammit so we are a bit out of luck, And I wont be able to try customize the plugin to see if I can make it work?

If the feature you want to add is supported by the format but not the plugin, you can certainly give it a try. It is all open source: https://github.com/googleforcreators/web-stories-wp/

Okay 100% thank you very much Ill give it a shot!

Sorry last question @swissspidy I think for when you update the feature I would like to add will be better suited to maybe be a “add on” so create my own plugin to be able to ad addons to yours will this be a possibility? In theory etc it will but guess what I would like to know is will your plugin accept something like this?

It depends on what you would like to add. On the editor side we don‘t have any API to properly extend it, so an add-on for the editor is unrealistic at this time. For PHP changes the plugin is more flexible.

And in theory we can always bake in a festure directly into our plugin if it‘s worthwhile.

Okay perfect thank you so much and thank you so much for your prompt responses always makes it awesome working with software with such great support thank you so much!

Is there maybe a possibility of setting up a call with you even if its a consultation fee that you ask me just to understand some of the relationships between te code?
