Works Beautifully But Where's the Support?
Everything is alright with this plugin and it works beautifully barring some suggestions I made in my previous review. There's a new issue I'm facing right now and it's about the LCP. On Google Search Console, all my webstories are marked as "Needs Improvement" and since the time this notificaiton shot up, my web stories traffic has gone down from 40k-50k to almost 0. I've checked the other aspects like google webstories guidelines etc and I don't think I have any policy violations. There are no AMP errors. This LCP being high (3.2s) is the only point that seems to be a hindrance. Unfortunately I am unable to find any solution unless the developers have something to suggest. Hi, is there no support available for this plugin anymore? Thanks.

Product of the future!
If you're not up on how popular stories are, you're sleeping! My team and more importantly clients love what we've been able to do for them. I've even ran into a couple road blocks along the way, and the MakeStories team has always been quick to help me out. And the results speak for themselves. Thanks MakeStories! Looking forward to the future!

A great contribution to story telling
Google's own Web Stories plugin cannot match this storytelling tool. Google may not care as long as people craft Google web stories any which way they can. Makestories is utterly enjoyable to work with, it just needs a bit more documentation. However, wonder where my story actually sits and what happens to my content.
