• Think we should try to choose one of these to focus on first.
  • Leagues - are these cohorts?
    • “rank” system
    • more engaging for more active users
    • Can be designed in a way that somehow measures how good we think they are as a forecaster/trader depending on what metrics we choose to be reflected.
    • con: Can get “stuck” at a certain rank or even demote which can be frustrating
    • Often less enticing for new users compared to a level system
  • XP system
    • Good for overall sense of progression.
    • But more dependent on overall usage of app and not ur actual performance. This can be good/bad depending on person
    • Don’t have the downside of getting “stuck” which u might with leagues.
    • easy to tie in “unlocking features” eg. if we want users to progress to a certain level before unlocking limit orders
  • Quests/tasks
    • Can tie to badges
    • Can tie to unlocking new features, but more specific than XP system
    • Can be tied to XP (quests give xp rewards instead of mana, and levelling up is what gives u the mana)
• Q: Priorities
  • [c, A, s] think new user experience is more important
• [S] XP is gamer-friendly, not normie-friendly
  • [D] Could use “levels” instead of “XP”
  • [i] all normies have played gamified apps, candy crush, duolingo
  • [c] I almost only want an unlock feature progression, and you don’t have to care about xp after that
    • which is maybe more like badge/achievements than xp
  • [s] Don’t want to add another metric for people to keep track of
    • Already have:
      • Quests
      • Streak balance
      • Profit
• [c] leaderboard for people you follow?
• Decision: David to create different design proposals. - geared towards new users and cohorts ranking system
