devpost submission URL story

At some point of the submission we are asked:
"(Optional) Please provide a URL to your Story."

Is there a way to use the link of the actual devpost submission? We actually wrote our story in the previous 'Project Overview' > Project story section... Doesn't that qualify?
I'm a bit confused whether this is in another platform or what it is exactly.

Thanks,

David

  Hello David,

  Good question, the Story must be publicly available on YouTube, a reputable blog platform, or a personal site. The intention was that it would be a different link than your demo video and submission to the hackathon, but if it is posted publicly on a platform that should work. For example, a public GitHub repository with the story content in the readme would be accepted. More details on the storytelling submission are here: https://codegeistunleashed.devpost.com/details/bonusprizes#h_4413975712051692893184077

  Thank you and best of luck!

  So the same devpost link with the project story (which is public), should work too, right?

  Hi David, Discussed this with the team and it would be best to have your story on a separate platform, separate from your Devpost submission. This can be a free Wordpress site, Github README, and even the Atlassian community sites. A few others posted their stories there https://community.atlassian.com/t5/forums/searchpage/tab/message?advanced=false&allow_pu[…]lse&q=codegeist&include_blogs=true&sort_by=-topicPostDate

  Best of luck!

  Does a Medium post count?
