I’ve been deep diving into retention mechanics lately and kept noticing the same thing:
Every app ends up rebuilding the same systems.
Streaks. Quests. XP. Achievements. Rewards. Currencies. Progression.
So I’m building "MetaGameKit" to use in future apps.
The idea is simple: build the retention layer once, then reuse it across everything I make.
The app just tells MetaGameKit what happened:
→ User completed a workout
→ Finished a lesson
→ Read for 20 minutes
→ Won a game
MetaGameKit handles what happens next:
→ Update the streak
→ Progress a quest
→ Award XP
→ Unlock an achievement
→ Give currency
→ Trigger a reward
→ Advance progression
I’m using a simple 2048 game as the testing ground right now.
If it works, the next app starts with the retention system already built.
Such a smart approach. Any early data yet on how its impacting retention rates in your 2048 test?
Interactive Calendar, Ambient UI & Glassmorphism
We explored a simple idea: make a calendar feel more calm, modern, and enjoyable to use.
This concept combines Glassmorphism, Ambient UI, and Spatial Design with a clean layout and subtle interactions.
Designed to keep the focus on your schedule while still making the experience feel premium.
Love the swipe-to-pay interaction, that little bounce before the green confirm screen sells it. What almost didn't make the cut here, was there a version with more steps before you simplified it down to this?
