Those seeking a collaborative storytelling platform to write their own stories or collaborate with others may be drawn to the Folktale app. The Folktale app is a great platform for those looking to read tales around a campfire or a dining room table and the app is focused on passing on the collective narrative tradition to younger generations.
This crowdsourced platform lets your tale grow by inviting other authors to collaborate on your work and to ensure diversity, the app doesn't allow two consecutive pages to be written by the same contributor. Each author is able to retain ownership of their data thanks to Blockstack that ensures each page of a tale has a private Gai Hub.
