Meander - text quests

Three years ago, I was inspired to create interactive text-based adventures after engaging with existing storytelling platforms. While exploring tools like Twine—a highly regarded PC-based solution for narrative design—I identified a critical gap: the absence of a mobile-first alternative offering offline functionality and intuitive creation workflows. Despite systematically reviewing the Play Store for viable options, I consistently encountered applications with cumbersome editors or internet-dependent architectures, which hindered spontaneous creativity. This gap motivated me to develop Meander—a dedicated Android platform designed to empower creators with a visual node-based system for crafting branching narratives directly on mobile devices, fully functional offline. After two years of iterative development, Meander has evolved into a community-driven project that continues to grow as users contribute their passion for interactive storytelling. The platform’s evolution reflects a sustained commitment to solving the very limitations that initially inspired its creation, while fostering a space where emerging storytellers can bring their narratives to life without technical barriers.
