01 / Context
A social layer for discovering places and communities.
Satlantis brings social content, place discovery, merchant profiles, and community events into one experience. Instead of treating these as separate destinations, the product connects them so people can move naturally between people, places, businesses, and events.
How can a content-rich discovery product make people, places, businesses, and events feel connected while keeping each experience easy to navigate?

04 / Place discovery
Discovery that starts with where you are.
Place discovery supports both nearby exploration and destination-based search. Users can browse merchants, open a map entry point, search by place, and refine results through detailed filters.
Keep the default experience simple
Nearby and destination controls provide a clear starting point, while more detailed filters stay available when users need them.
Make detailed filtering useful
Filters cover categories, ratings, Bitcoin acceptance, dietary needs, atmosphere, and other attributes without forcing every option into the initial discovery view.
The trade-off: More filtering options improve precision, but too many visible controls can make discovery feel like a form.
05 / Merchant & events
Giving local information enough depth.
Merchant and event experiences needed to support detailed information without losing the social context around them.
Merchant profiles
Business descriptions, galleries, ratings, categories, opening hours, contact details, websites, addresses, amenities, community recommendations, bookmarks, and similar merchant suggestions are organized into a clear profile.
Events as community experiences
Event pages combine date, time, location, host, attendees, registration, Interested actions, venue details, announcements, discussions, comments, and related merchant information.
Connections between experiences
Merchants, events, places, and social content are designed to connect with one another so users can continue exploring instead of reaching a dead end.
06 / Responsive design
Adapting dense discovery for smaller screens.
The product was designed across desktop and mobile, with the mobile experience restructuring dense information into a more vertical hierarchy rather than simply shrinking the desktop layouts.
- 4 desktop screens
- 8 mobile screens
- Responsive content hierarchy
- Mobile-friendly navigation and filters
- Prominent actions for follow, register, Interested, search, filter, and map access
07 / Reflection
Designing discovery as a connected system.
The main challenge was organizing a broad set of social and local discovery features without making the product feel fragmented. The design connects people, businesses, places, and events while keeping the primary actions visible and the information hierarchy predictable.
What this project strengthened
Satlantis pushed the product across several content types and interaction models, from social feeds and profiles to location-aware discovery, detailed merchant information, filtering, event registration, and community discussion.

03 / Social experience
Making discovery social.
The social experience combines a content feed with profiles, reactions, comments, engagement metrics, suggested creators, collections, followers, and following. Business and event content can also appear within the feed, connecting social activity to local discovery.
Profiles built around activity
User profiles bring together bio, posts, followers, following, collections, and events so people can understand both the person and their activity.
Social proof in context
Ratings, recommendations, followers, mentions, comments, and attendee information help people make decisions with more context.
Connected content
Posts, merchants, places, and events can lead users into related parts of the product rather than ending at a single piece of content.
