Project Outcomes
Vibe gave the client a stronger position in the social media market through its identity-based engagement model. Its engagement model provided a solid base for improving user retention and supporting long-term platform activity. The platform also created revenue opportunities through premium profile options, seasonal passes, digital collectibles, sponsored events, community subscriptions and creator tools. Its cloud-based structure gave the client space to support more users, enter new markets and add future AI features.
Project Overview
Vibe is an AI-powered social media platform that helps users build a digital identity through their activity, relationships and community participation.
Instead of focusing only on likes and followers, the platform tracks posts, achievements, streaks and other activities across the platform. These activities help users develop their profile and build a stronger reputation over time.
Vibe also includes personalised feeds, private communities, secure messaging and AI-based moderation. These features help users build a profile based on their activity, connections and community contributions.
What We Built
We built Vibe as a complete mobile social platform for users, creators, communities and moderators. The project included the mobile application, the Vibe Identity Engine and the main tools needed to manage profiles, content and communities. We also developed the backend, database, real-time communication, AI services, cloud storage, search and moderation systems that keep the platform running smoothly.
Client Background
Ethan Brooks wanted to build a social platform where users could grow their online presence through content, friendships and community activity. He needed features like identity levels, streaks, AI recommendations, private communities and secure messaging.
Project Scope
Our work included:
- Requirement analysis and platform planning
- User journey planning
- UI/UX design
- React Native mobile development
- NestJS backend development
- PostgreSQL database setup
- Redis caching and BullMQ processing
- AI recommendations and moderation
- Digital identity and progression systems
- Community and communication tools
- Real-time updates and search integration
- Security and performance testing
- AWS deployment and system monitoring
Target Audience
Vibe is designed for:
- Students and young adults
- Social media users
- Digital creators
- Online communities and private groups
- Users seeking safer online interactions
- Brands and community organisers
- Moderators and administrators
Objectives
The main objectives were to:
- 01Build a social platform focused on digital identity
- 02Reward creativity, consistency and positive activity
- 03Help users grow their profiles over time
- 04Show users content based on their interests
- 05Provide secure private communication
- 06Reduce spam and fake engagement
- 07Support live interactions across the platform
- 08Build a platform that can grow with future needs
Business Challenge
Most social media platforms focus heavily on followers, likes and viral reach. This can lead to fake engagement, repeated content and short-term activity instead of genuine participation.
- 01User profiles mainly showed posts and follower counts. They did not clearly show a user’s growth, consistency, trusted connections or community contributions.
- 02Vibe needed to manage real-time communication, AI recommendations, digital identity, streaks, rewards, private communities, content moderation and high user activity.
- 03The main challenge was to connect these systems while keeping the platform simple and easy to use.
Our Solution
We developed the Vibe Identity Engine to track user activity and show their progress on the profile.
- The system records posts, friendships, achievements, streaks and other platform activity. It then converts this progress into XP, profile levels, badges and reputation.
- AI services were added to manage content recommendations and moderation. Real-time communication, private communities and reward systems were also connected within the mobile application.
- The platform was designed with a clear interface and scalable backend so it could handle high user activity without making the experience difficult to use.
