How to seamlessly introduce a new product in the existing UX
The biggest challenge in this project was the fact that the app already had an existing user base. The community had to be introduced in a manner that would not be intrusive and will not diminish the user experience.
The first version was gradually released. First to a small percentage of the app users and after a few feedback loops it was released to the entire user base.
