The main constraints I faced were the project's limited budget and short deadline. Initially, I considered using X coins, the in-app currency, to motivate users to engage with the community feature. However, during an early presentation with the stakeholder, I discovered that the business wanted to avoid using X coins as an incentive.

This realisation shifted my approach moving forward. It became crucial for me to fully understand the app’s existing capabilities to design a cost-effective solution, identify an alternative to X coins by exploring user motivations around community engagement, and maintain clear, consistent communication with developers to ensure the solution was feasible and straightforward to implement within the tight timeline.
