In today’s digital economy, two types of websites are dominating traffic and innovation:
🛒 E-commerce → optimized for conversion
📱 Social media → engineered for engagement
If you’re a developer or designer working in this space, you’re likely using:
- Headless CMS + Next.js
- Tailwind CSS for fast UI styling
- Firebase or Supabase for real-time backends
- Stripe / Shopify APIs for monetization
📦 Key UX Priorities
For e-commerce:
- Fast product pages
- Secure checkout
- Personalization (AI or rules-based)
For social platforms:
- Real-time interactions (chat, notifications)
- Algorithmic feeds
- Scalable user-generated content (UGC) systems
💡 E-commerce turns attention into transactions. Social media turns content into community.
What are your favorite UX patterns for e-commerce or social apps?
Are you building anything that blends both—like live shopping, creator marketplaces, or social commerce?
