Amazing!
Here's your contra post content for the SideQuest Social Feed:
What if your social feed wasn't just content to scroll but challenges worth actually doing?
We designed the SideQuest activity feed and messaging system, a gamified social experience that turns friend activity into motivation, nearby events into missions, and conversations into the starting point for real-world plans.
The design problem we solved: most social apps separate discovery, activity, and messaging into three completely different experiences. The result is an app people open out of habit, not intention.
What the design does instead, three screens, fully connected:
Activity feed that shows what your friends are actually doing: Alex completed a 3.8 km morning run and earned +120 XP. Sarah joined the Sunset Rooftop Meetup at 6:30PM with 8 people. Every card has a direct action, Try Challenge or Join Event, not just a like button.
Activity detail screen that turns a 5K morning run into a complete mission brief: distance, time, XP reward, coin drop, host profile, rival challenge system, and a single Start Run CTA that removes every reason not to go.
Messages screen that connects the social layer, Meet-up 2026, Party Night, and Ronald Richards confirming tomorrow at 9PM, all organized by All, Unread, and Groups with real conversation context visible without opening a thread.
My design decision: Map, Social, and Chats in the bottom nav aren't three separate apps. They're three layers of the same gamified world and the design makes that feel true from the first tap.
What feature would you add to make a social fitness app actually stick? 👇
Love the vibe of this one.
Somewhere a “make it pop more” client is seeing this and learning a lesson 😅
