Gamification features for Reading App
Task: To enhance user engagement and motivation within the MVP digital library application.
Problem: The application lacked interactive elements to sustain user activity and retention, with no incentives for prolonged usage.

By offering badges or leaderboards, users feel motivated to explore more content and stay active in the application, which improves retention and user satisfaction.
