When to use it

Reach for A short history when you want to give people a quick, fun reason to stop scrolling and teach your audience something they can use straight away. Its structure is flexible: your writer picks the shape that suits the topic. Give Postora your topic and it keeps the shape, writing every slide about your subject in your voice.

What each slide does

1. 1Hook

   Opening: the subject and the span of time.

   In the example

   How the bicycle got its shape

   A short history

   Seventy years of very odd machines.

2. 2Steps

   The early milestones, with dates (only facts the author provided).

   In the example

   The early years

   • 1817 No pedals — Riders pushed along with their feet.
   • 1860s Pedals on the front wheel — Bumpy enough to be called a boneshaker.
   • 1870s The giant front wheel — A bigger wheel, more speed, longer falls.

3. 3Point

   The turning point.

   In the example

   Then came the chain

   The turn

   In the 1880s, a chain to the back wheel let both wheels shrink to the same size. Suddenly almost anyone could ride.

4. 4section

   One more date that mattered.

   In the example

   Air-filled tyres arrive

   1888

5. 5Point

   Why it still looks this way today.

   In the example

   Why it still looks the same

   Two equal wheels, a diamond frame and a chain. The basic shape has barely changed in 130 years.

6. 6Recap

   The takeaway in one line.

   In the example

   Good design stops changing.

   In short

   Your bike is a 19th-century idea that got it right.

7. 7Call to action

   Ending: follow and share.
