Abstract
A computer-implemented method for digital content navigation based on directional input may include (i) maintaining a user content pod for each user account within a group of user accounts maintained by a social networking platform, (ii) generating a cover card for each user content pod, and (iii) providing, within a graphical user interface for interacting with posts made to the social networking platform, a scrollable display of vertically arranged selectable cover cards configured to (1) scroll vertically between cover cards of different user content pods in response to receiving vertical swiping input and (2) scroll horizontally between one or more posts of an individual user content pod in response to receiving horizontal swiping input. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
