Transforming an Outdated Thrift App into a Modern, Gamified Experience

by Rasangana Jeewantha

I helped transform an outdated thrift shopping app into a modern, mobile-first experience by combining eBay-style clarity with Duolingo-inspired gamification. By introducing swipe-to-vote interactions, streak-based rewards, and a clean layout system, I turned casual browsing into a fun, habit-forming experience.  The result? A UI that encourages daily engagement, unlocks real rewards, and aligns with today’s UX standards.
