Overview

The work mapped BeReal's end-to-end user journey and benchmarked competitor features across similar social apps. It identified a hesitation spike at BeReal's two-minute notification window, analyzed user behaviors and emotions around that moment, and produced a product-management problem statement plus an opportunity to reduce posting anxiety and increase on-time authentic posts.

During the BeReal benchmarking task I documented product features (daily push, two-minute dual-camera prompt, post-to-view rule, RealMojis, Discovery) and explained how each mechanism drove retention and repeat opens, producing a feature-led retention analysis.
