The challenge

The product needed to connect place-based discovery with a reason to return: find a nearby shop, see its updates and participate in a social feed. The first build had to bring those journeys together in a mobile MVP.

The engagement

Engineering the product.

Nearby-store discovery

A map-based view for browsing shops around the user, giving local discovery a concrete starting point.

Shop and social feeds

Separate store updates and social content, with likes and comments for the interactions described in the MVP scope.

Relevance and ranking

A relevance algorithm and ranking layer to order the feed content, alongside the React Native app taken through internal test rounds.
