Interface preview
What it looks like, before it's live
The geography is real — 36 states, the FCT and 774 local government areas. The posts are illustrative. Switch tiers and watch what changes.
Prototype — not connected to a backend
Four feeds, one tap apart
Change the tier and the feed changes with it. This is the whole idea — the same app, showing you Nigeria at the scale you actually care about right now.
Showing Enugu State — 3 posts ranked by saves, shares and comments.
Interface preview — not live. Content shown is illustrative.
Design rules
Mobile-first is a discipline, not a viewport
WeNaija starts on the web because that's the fastest way into Nigerian hands — no store, no 60MB install, no storage negotiation. But it's designed for a phone, always.
01
Designed at 360px first
Every screen starts as a phone screen and grows from there. Nothing is desktop-only, and nothing is designed wide then squeezed.
02
Every kilobyte is somebody's money
Data is bought in bundles here and counted. Images are lazy and responsive, video never autoplays on Data Saver, and the feed has a hard size budget.
03
The network will fail
Not an edge case — the normal condition. Actions apply instantly on your phone and reconcile with the server, and offline is a first-class state.
04
Recognition without noise
Badges and leaderboards live in Explore. The main feed stays a feed, permanently — that's a rule, not a preference.
This is a prototype
Nothing here is connected to a live backend yet — accounts, posts, messages and rankings are all still being built. What you're looking at is the interface and the idea, published early so the thinking can be argued with before it's expensive to change.
The live feed goes further: it runs the real ranking algorithm on seeded content, so you can post, engage, and watch positions move.
