When measuring output, design is as crucial as functionality in a product. Usability and how effectively you engage users to spend time on the app are key factors. This is why we started with the Explore tab, which allows users to engage with data. Additionally, we implemented a referral feature that encourages users to share the app, highlighting its importance.
