Hello!
Pretty cool suggestion, but if I am being completely honest, the design looks flawed, in my opinion. I truly don't feel like stories fit xat. I feel like we have enough with our xatspaces, our own chats where we could set the chat backgrounds, scrolls, and personal statuses, etc. The way it's displayed in the friend list looks a bit flawed, and if it were to exist, it may look better being located on the xat applications sidebar or maybe be fit in the friends list but in another way, I tried playing around for some time, and came up with a similar idea as your design, but it just doesn't seem to really fit, or make sense. It is a pretty cool suggestion, but I feel like it doesn't fit xat's atmosphere...
