Feature Description
Description
To increase user retention and encourage active participation in Web Dev and AI projects, we need to introduce a gamification layer. This will reward users for contributions, learning milestones, and community help.
Proposed Features
XP (Experience Points) & Leveling: Users earn XP for actions like submitting a project, completing a tutorial, or helping others in the comments.
Badges/Achievements: Visual milestones for specific feats (e.g., "First PR," "AI Specialist," "7-Day Streak").
Global Leaderboard: A weekly or monthly ranking of top contributors to foster friendly competition.
User Profiles: Showcase earned badges and level stats on public profiles to act as a "Developer Portfolio."
Expected behaviour
When users interact with Code A2Z, the gamification system should function as an intuitive "motivation engine" that recognizes and rewards their growth in real-time. Upon completing a key action—such as finishing a Web Dev project or contributing an AI snippet—the user should receive immediate visual feedback via a non-intrusive notification confirming their earned XP. This creates a satisfying "dopamine loop" where effort is instantly acknowledged. As their XP accumulates, the system should dynamically update their profile progress bar, and upon crossing a milestone, trigger a "Level Up" celebration that unlocks new community status or digital badges.
Beyond individual rewards, the system should foster a sense of community and identity. On the global leaderboard, the user’s ranking should update in real-time, allowing them to see how they stack up against peers for the week or month. In public spaces like comment sections or project galleries, the user’s hard-earned achievements—represented by specific icons or level tags—should be visible next to their name, serving as social proof of their expertise. Ultimately, the behavior should feel seamless and encouraging, transforming the learning process from a solitary task into a competitive yet supportive journey where every contribution has a measurable impact on their professional standing within the platform
