As explained by https://stackoverflow.com/users/8164116/daksh-gargas, story view can be easily implemented using stack pageview and a simple gesture detector.
Made a simple story view -
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
class CustomStoryView extends StatefulWidget{
@override
_CustomStoryViewState createState() => _CustomStoryViewState();
}
class _CustomStoryViewState extends State<CustomStoryView> with SingleTickerProviderStateMixin {
final List _colorsList = [Colors.blue, Colors.red, Colors.green, Colors.yellow, Colors.grey, Colors.brown];
final PageController _controller = PageController();
double _progressIndicators;
int _page = 0;
AnimationController _animationController;
bool dragEnded = true;
Size _pageSize;
@override
void initState() {
_animationController = AnimationController(vsync: this, duration: Duration(seconds: 2));
_animationController.addListener(animationListener);
_animationController.forward();
WidgetsBinding.instance.addPostFrameCallback((timeStamp) {
_pageSize = MediaQuery.of(context).size;
_progressIndicators = (_pageSize.width - 100) / 6;
});
super.initState();
}
@override
void dispose() {
_animationController?.dispose();
super.dispose();
}
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
body: Stack(
children: [
PageView.builder(
controller: _controller,
physics: NeverScrollableScrollPhysics(),
itemBuilder: (context, index)=>GestureDetector(
onLongPressStart: _onLongPressStart,

child: Center(child: InkWell(
onTap: (){
print("thiswasclicked $index");
},
child: Text("Somee random text", style: TextStyle(fontSize: 36),)),),
),
),
itemCount: _colorsList.length,
),
Positioned(
top: 48,

right: 0,
child: Row(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceEvenly,
children: ([0,1,2,3,4,5].map((e) =>
(e == _page) ? Stack(

Container(

return AnimatedContainer(

],
),
);
}
animationListener(){
if(_animationController.value == 1){
_moveForward();
}
}
_moveBackward(){
if(_controller.page != 0){
setState(() {
_page = (_controller.page - 1).toInt();
_page = (_page < 0) ? 0 : _page;
_controller.animateToPage(_page, duration: Duration(milliseconds: 100), curve: Curves.easeIn);
_animationController.reset();
_animationController.forward();
});
}
}
_moveForward(){
if(_controller.page != (_colorsList.length - 1)){
setState(() {
_page = (_controller.page + 1).toInt();
_controller.animateToPage(_page, duration: Duration(milliseconds: 100), curve: Curves.easeIn);
_animationController.reset();
_animationController.forward();
});
}
}
_onTapDown(TapUpDetails details) {
var x = details.globalPosition.dx;
(x < _pageSize.width / 2) ? _moveBackward() : _moveForward();
}
_onHorizontalDragUpdate(d){
if (!dragEnded) {
dragEnded = true;
if (d.delta.dx < -5) {

} else if (d.delta.dx > 5) {
_moveBackward();
}
}
}
_onHorizontalDragStart(d) {

}
_onHorizontalDragEnd(d) {

}
_onLongPressEnd(_){
_animationController.forward();
}
_onLongPressStart(_){
