Talking Cards Toolbox
Feature Detail
Description
The Talking Cards Toolbox provides peer mentors with a curated set of conversation-starter cards designed to facilitate meaningful dialogue during support sessions. Cards cover topics relevant to the peer mentor relationship — identity, challenges, hopes, and daily life — giving mentors a structured yet flexible tool to break the ice or deepen conversations. The feature is accessible offline and designed to be used directly during a session without disrupting the flow of the interaction.
User Flow
Analysis
Peer mentors — especially newer ones — often struggle with how to open or guide sensitive conversations. The Talking Cards Toolbox lowers this barrier by providing ready-made, field-tested conversation prompts that have been curated for the peer mentor context. This directly improves the quality and depth of support sessions, which is the core value proposition of the entire Meander platform. Organisations like NHF and Blindeforbundet have explicitly requested tools that help mentors feel more confident and prepared. By embedding this capability in the app, Norse Digital Products differentiates Meander from generic activity-logging tools and reinforces its value as an end-to-end support platform for peer mentoring programmes.
The feature is implemented as a static content screen in Flutter backed by a local content store (Cards Content Store). Card content is bundled with the app and optionally refreshed via a lightweight CMS or versioned JSON endpoint from the backend. The Cards Content Service handles retrieval, filtering by topic or category, and shuffle/random selection. No user-generated content or backend write operations are required for v1.1, keeping complexity low. WCAG 2.2 AA compliance requires sufficient contrast on card text, large touch targets for navigation between cards, and full screen reader support with semantic labels on each card element.
