Visual concept

1. Someone posts their own story. It could be about blam-ing their boss, their daily story, or their worries.

2. When they upload their post, the post locates on the place where they write.

3. People near the place will find the posts and write comments to it.

(To prevent people’s low participa-tion interacting with others such as replying, there is a condition that the text people can use for their own story is limited. For the more text, they have to write comments to oth-ers’ posts. Otherwise, they have no text to use.)
