Build Social Media Style Stories with Android and Python

What's this blog post about?

Here's a neutral and interesting summary of the text: The application in question is a social media platform called Instagram Stories, which allows users to record videos that disappear after 24 hours. The feature was popularized by Snapchat, but other platforms such as LinkedIn and Twitter have also developed similar features. To build this feature for Android using Vonage's Video API, developers need to create a server-side application using Python and Django. The server will handle sessions and tokens for the client, which will be used to authenticate users and access their video recordings. The application will use OpenTok to publish videos to the server, allowing users to record and share videos with others. On the Android side, developers need to create a mobile application that can connect to the server, request video recordings, and display them in a user-friendly interface. The application will also include features such as authentication, authorization, and video editing capabilities. Overall, building this feature requires a combination of backend development skills using Python and Django, and frontend development skills using Android Studio and Kotlin.
