Messages and Stories
Messages
Route:/studio/messages
- Open Messages from the social nav.
- Select a conversation or start one from a profile (Message).
- Write and send. Unread items also appear under Notifications.
Stories
Route:/studio/stories/[userId]
Ephemeral media tied to a user profile (expires_at).
- Open a story ring from Home, Explore, or a profile.
- Create via New (mobile) or profile highlights when available.
- Stories disappear after expiry — use posts for lasting portfolio work.
Sharing assets
Share generations with share links at/studio/share/[token] when you use the share action in a tool. Recipients open the link without needing the original project.
Tips
- Prefer Messages for private feedback; use public posts for portfolio reach.
- Pair Stories with a strong profile avatar so rings are recognizable.
