In theory this would be great plugin for letting clients drop their Shorthand stories into their own websites rather than uploading the files to the server.
The main one is that the template for Shorthand story includes get header and get footer, and drops the Shorthand story in using the content.
This means that what should be full-width design is crammed into the area of template, however wide that is.
The plugin also drops the entirety of its HTML code into the content including the tag and tags such as viewport, Open Graph, Twitter and charset.
Either you assume that the body tag hasn't been written and include the meta tags, or you write the body tag yourself..
This wouldn't matter so much if you were able to override the template by using single-shorthand story php template file in your theme, but this doesn't override the template provided by the plugin, so your choice is to edit the plugin files.
Finally, even if you do edit the template file in the plugin just to drop in the Shorthand content, the content doesn't render correctly for some reason there missing slides.
It also tries to load non-existent web fonts from the directory, meaning that the fonts aren't rendered correctly..
Perhaps there are ways around this, but that's difficult to tell because Shorthand haven't seen fit to write any documentation on how to use the plugin here in the directory and just direct you to their support email addresses.
Two stars for something that does sort of work, with API connection, but this needs significant improvement, including documentation, before it's usable...
