    Hi guys, I’d love to share something with you and get some feedback/ see if there’s interest for what I’m thinking of making. In short, I’m beginning to make a fantasy adventure activity app (mostly for walking and running) called Whander. You can see my launch site [here](https://www.whander.io/). Really I’m just collecting emails of those interested and linking to some Reddit/ Discord communities I’ve set up to collect some feedback as I go. To give you some more background, I used to be a big runner, but earlier this year tore my ACL (wouldn’t recommend). I’ve been VERY slowly getting back to running and historically I’ve been motivated either by (a) Strava badges or (b) going ‘somewhere’ on a long run (e.g. doing a chore that’s 15km away or something). Strava badges are weirdly motivational for me, but they’re few and far between - for running you have 5k, 10k, half marathon, and 100k badge every month. Huge gap in distance between 10k and 100k, so I feel like there was this big slog where I didn’t have the gamified benefits as part of running. And as a bit of a D&D nerd/ big fan of the classic Pokemon games (not Pokemon Go), I’ve kind of yearned to have some kind of quest or storyline structure as part of the exercise I do. This brought me to the idea for Whander - I want to set up an app where you create your own avatar and travel through different worlds, completing storylines in each and weaving between them (e.g. there would be worlds based on the Roman Empire, a clockwork city, celestial gardens, the wild west, etc. down the line). I have a lot more detail but the first thing I wanted to check is if this general idea is interesting to people, and something they may want to try out and demo if I began to build it! Also, I’ve only begun to work on the art and design for the launch site and the character creation screen, so apologies that the other features on the site aren’t linked yet! Though the plan is to begin some mockups later this week if I don’t get absolutely roasted (or if I get roasted in the right way). Let me know what you think or if you have any other questions - I’m sure I haven’t explained everything very well!
