UI/UX QoL Updates Improvement

We're always listening to subscriber feedback! Today we pushed two highly-requested usability fixes:

First, clicking the empty black space outside of a story card will now instantly close the story and return you to the feed. Second, we fixed a frustrating bug where returning to the feed would reset your scroll position to the top of the page. You'll now snap right back to exactly where you left off.

We also cleaned up the onboarding tutorial to reflect our current premium features.
