You are required to build a "Story" feature similar to those found in popular social media platforms like Instagram and WhatsApp. The goal is to allow users to post short, ephemeral content that disappears after 24 hours. This content can include images, text, videos, and links, and can be viewed by followers or contacts through an interactive and visually appealing interface.

User Interface (UI):

Design a vertical or horizontal story bar at the top of the app or a dedicated tab, showing round profile pictures or thumbnails of users who have posted stories.
When a user taps on a profile picture, the corresponding story content should display in full-screen mode.
Include a progress bar at the top of the screen to indicate the duration of each story being viewed.
Users should be able to swipe left or right to switch between stories, and tap to move forward within the current story.
Provide the ability for users to reply to or react to stories through direct messages.

For a sample image, imagine a screen with a series of round profile pictures aligned horizontally at the top, representing different users’ stories. Below that, a story is displayed in full-screen, showing an image with a caption at the bottom and swipe indicators. A progress bar runs across the top, representing the time left for the current story.
