How a story carousel is built
A story carousel uses the swipe like a page turn. It opens on a moment of tension and holds back the payoff, so each slide earns the next.
- Slide 1: the moment of tension or the surprising end
- Middle slides: what happened, one beat per slide
- Second-last slide: the turn or the realisation
- Last slide: what it means for the reader
Use it when: You have a personal experience or a narrative with a clear turning point.

Turn one of these into your own post
- Pick the structure, not the subject. Choose a carousel whose shape fits an idea you already have: the hook pattern, the slide count, the way it ends.
- Keep what made it work. Note the first-slide promise, how much text each slide carries and what the last slide asks for.
- Write it about your world. Swap in your own topic, examples and voice. Credit the creator if you borrow something specific.
