Living Elements

Overview

A social and community platform delivered as a progressive web app: profiles, feeds, direct messaging, opportunity listings and a gamification layer that rewards participation.

The problem

Community products live or die on the second visit. Everything after signup — whether the feed has anything in it, whether messages arrive, whether returning is rewarded — decides retention, and all of it has to work on a phone with no app-store install.

What we built

Built as a PWA so it installs from a link, with the engagement mechanics — feeds, messaging, gamification — treated as core product surface rather than features added later.
