Abstract: Techniques to selectively capture media using a single user interface element are described. In one embodiment, an apparatus may comprise a touch controller, a visual media capture component, and a storage component. The touch controller may be operative to receive a haptic engagement signal. The visual media capture component may be operative to be configured in a capture mode based on whether a haptic disengagement signal is received by the touch controller before expiration of a first timer, the capture mode one of a photo capture mode or video capture mode, the first timer started in response to receiving the haptic engagement signal, the first timer configured to expire after a first preset duration. The storage component may be operative to store visual media captured by the visual media capture component in the configured capture mode. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for managing cloud-based document permissions. In an embodiment, a document generation system may generate and/or store a cloud-based document. The document generation system may also generate links to the cloud-based document. The generated links may be associated with different permissions. For example, a first link may allow a first client device accessing the first link to edit the document while a second link may allow a second client device accessing the second link to only view the document. Other permissions may also include generating distinct graphical user interfaces (GUIs) associated with different links. The GUIs may accept input messages and/or comments in a chat panel. The document generation system may facilitate the delivery of these input messages to other client device with document access.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for performing automatic layout of an object in a presentation slide. An embodiment operates by implementing a graphical user interface defining a plurality of layout segments on a presentation slide. The embodiment receives an object from a user via an input gesture. The embodiment determines the object is in a layout segment of the plurality of layout segments. The embodiment determines a layout rule based on the determined layout segment and a property of the object. The embodiment then modifies the object based on the determined layout segment. The embodiment outputs a layout result based on the presentation slide and the modified object.

Abstract: The invention provides a display interface in a social networking system that enables the presentation of information related to a user in a timeline or map view. The system accesses information about a user of a social networking system, including both data about the user and social network activities related to the user. The system then selects one or more of these pieces of data and/or activities from a certain time period and gathers them into timeline units based on their relatedness and their relevance to users. These timeline units are ranked by relevance to the user, and are used to generate a timeline or map view for the user containing visual representations of the timeline units organized by location or time. The timeline or map view is then provided to other users of the social networking system that wish to view information about the user.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for displaying a presentation across various electronic devices. An embodiment operates by receiving a presentation slide comprising a plurality of layout segments and an object. The embodiment determines a device characteristic for an electronic device. The embodiment determines the object in a layout segment of the plurality of layout segments. The embodiment determines a layout rule based on the determined device characteristic, the determined layout segment, and a property of the object. The embodiment modifies the object based on the determined layout rule. The embodiment then outputs a layout result based on the presentation slide and the modified object.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can detect a trigger to initiate at least one of a pixelation animation or a depixelation animation for a media content item. A set of pixelated images can be generated based on a source image associated with the media content item. Variable durations for presenting the set of pixelated images can be determined. The set of pixelated images can be presented, based on the variable durations, to produce the at least one of the pixelation animation or the depixelation animation.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a content item and a feedback user-interface (UI) element associated with the content item may be displayed on a user device. The feedback UI element enables a user to provide feedback with respect to the content item. In response to a user interaction with the feedback UI element, an animation sequence featuring the feedback UI element is displayed on the user device.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments providing color theme maintenance for presentations. An embodiment operates by receiving a border image, a background color rule, a text color rule, and compiling the rules into a theme for a presentation. The compiled theme is provided to an application configured to display the presentation including the compiled theme in accordance with the background color rule and the text color rule.

Abstract: Described herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments providing color theme maintenance for presentations. An embodiment operates by receiving original content for placement on a first slide of a presentation. Additional content for placement on the first slide is received and it is determined that the original content and the additional content exceeds a content-threshold of the first slide. A second slide is created using a format of the first slide based upon the determining. The additional content and at least a portion of the original content is moved onto the second slide upon a completion of the creating.

Abstract: A social networking system provides a short, unbiased biographical summary for a user of the social networking system.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can detect a trigger to provide public ephemeral media content to a viewing user account. A subset of user accounts can be identified, out of a set of user accounts, based on a respective popularity metric for each user account in the subset. The subset of user accounts can be identified such that each user account to be included in the subset has respectively shared one or more public ephemeral media content items within a specified time period. The subset of user accounts can be identified such that each user account to be included in the subset has not been subscribed to by the viewing user account. The viewing user account can be provided with access to the subset of user accounts.

Abstract: A user interface includes a tactile interface on a client device that allows users to interact with social networking system content in a manner that is optimized for touch screens and/or devices with limited display area. Stories associated with social networking system users and times are displayed in a scrollable list along with a timeline scrubber identifying different time periods. A position indicator is displayed proximate to the timeline scrubber to identify the time period including one or more times associated with displayed stories. Responsive to received input, details about time intervals included in a time period are displayed or the timeline scrubber appearance is modified to distinguish certain time periods.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can detect a trigger to initiate at least one of a pixelation animation or a depixelation animation for a media content item. A set of pixelated images can be generated based on a source image associated with the media content item. Variable durations for presenting the set of pixelated images can be determined. The set of pixelated images can be presented, based on the variable durations, to produce the at least one of the pixelation animation or the depixelation animation.
