1
Start a strand
Tap “+” and write your first card; strands are born private, publish when ready.
Every dot can go on
A strand is a living, branching work — interactive stories put choices at forks, info strands let you swipe across parallel content. Anyone can branch a new strand from any dot, and carve their own path on someone else's living work.
Interactive stories
Attach choice labels at forks and let readers drive the plot; anyone can branch a side story from any dot, credited and sourced.
Live quotes
Quoting a dot is a pointer, not a copy — when the owner updates, readers always see the latest.
Walk card by card
Full-screen cards with four-way swipes; peeking edges show the way, no tutorial needed.
How it works
2
Connect dot by dot
Writing is walking forward one step at a time; add choices at forks, or quote someone else's dot.
3
Fork your own path
When a dot moves you, branch your own strand from it — publishing credits the source and joins its fork list.
One mechanic, two kinds of works
Interactive stories — readers steer the plot
Picture a story called “Lost in Ximending”: at card three the fork offers “follow the smell” or “head to the cinema street” — tap to turn the page. Not happy with the ending? Branch “my version” from any card — your side story carries your name and its source, and a great one may get pinned into the canon choices by the original author.
Living info strands — maintained, always fresh
A “Ximending food strand”: one shop per card — walk down, swipe across to compare. When a shop moves, just edit that old card; quoting a friend's “star fruit ice” card is a pointer, not a copy — when they update, your strand always shows the latest. A strand is a living document you maintain, not a serial that only grows forward.
Three principles you can count on
Read without an account
Anyone can open and walk a strand link end to end — an account is only needed to write and like.
Every strand is born private
Drafts don't exist to the world; publish when ready. Publishing isn't finishing — the “⋯” stays on, and you can always retract.
Quiet quotes, credited forks
Quoting a dot leaves no record and sends no notification — zero pressure; forking is credited and sourced, joining the origin's fork list — co-creation with a name on it.
Every strand ends with a “⋯” — a path not yet written. Maybe it's waiting for you.
