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.

Visual Identity for MOLDE. — 3D Design & Production Studio

The Challenge MOLDE. is a studio that designs and manufactures functional, everyday products using 3D printing technology. The goal was to create a visual identity that clearly communicates structural architecture, volumetric form, and technical precision without sacrificing a premium, modern aesthetic suited for lifestyle product markets.

The Solution The brand’s visual system is rooted in pure geometry. By combining heavy, solid geometric blocks to form the custom typography of "MOLDE.", the logotype structurally represents the core process of the company: molding physical raw materials into functional shapes. A key element of the identity is the punctuation point at the end, which scales independently as an abstract minimalist icon for small placements, product embossing, and tactile tags.

The Application The identity was developed alongside its physical applications, testing structural legibility across high-end 3D printed objects (such as matte polymeric lighting structures) and premium packaging. The contrast between deep matte black graphics and raw material textures ensures the brand feels industrialized yet sophisticated.

It looks great, love the way it is vibrating. What was the logic behind that ?
