This is a submission for the Wix Studio Challenge: Community Edition.
My Community Platform
Introverse is a platform dedicated to introverts, offering a cosy, welcoming online space to connect, reflect, and learn. It’s designed to foster genuine connections and creativity without the noise of traditional social spaces. With discussion rooms, blog content, and a store with thoughtful merchandise, Introverse aims to nurture a sense of belonging for every introverted member.

Development Journey
In creating Introverse, I leaned into Wix Studio’s development tools, combining simplicity with customization to craft a platform that feels intuitive and authentic. Velo APIs were key in bringing added functionality, and Wix Apps allowed for integrated features that catered to our community’s unique needs.
Velo APIs
Here’s how I used Velo APIs to enhance Introverse:
-
Quiz Integration: I created a custom quiz to let users measure their introversion score. Users can answer a few short questions, and based on their scores, receive personalized messages that reflect their introversion level. The
wix-window
API was also used to navigate the users to their results when they successfully took the quiz. -
Inventory Alerts: The
wix-location
API powers a dynamic stock message on the store page. "Only a few left!" is displayed on items with fewer than 20 in stock, helping keep members informed about availability. -
Animations: I used the
@velo/wix-animation-helper
to add smooth animations, creating a more engaging and calming experience across the site.
Wix Apps
To offer a complete experience for Introverse members, I integrated these Wix Apps:
- Wix Blog: Hosts articles, stories, and guides on topics that resonate with introverts, from personal growth to creativity.
- Wix Store: A curated selection of products that help introverts express their identity, such as shirts, totes, and mugs.
- Wix Forum: A welcoming space where members can join various “Nooks” (discussion rooms) to chat and share on topics that matter most.
- Wix Forms: Used to power our newsletter sign-up, making it simple for members to stay updated on community events and new content.
- Wix Member Area: Allows members to create profiles, join discussions, and access member-exclusive content, adding a personal touch to the community.
Thanks to Wix Studio and DEV for this chance to share Introverse!
