Ship gamification fast with flexible APIs for achievements, streaks, points, and leaderboards. Configure features without coding, automate personalized email and push notifications, and monitor impact on retention and engagement from a dashboard.
Genius!! Such a cool idea to API this part of building apps.
Strong value, but building it yourself feels like a distraction from core product R&D - so it always gets pushed back.
We’ll definitely look into this for our company!

@christopher_pechau Summed it up perfectly! Your time would be better spent on literally anything other than debugging how a user somehow lost their streak after flying from London to New York 🤣

@christopher_pechau Happy to help when you're ready to build some of these features 🫡
@jason_louro1 Charlie Hopkins-Brinicombe - Love it! I already forwarded this to my CTO and co-founder. We love it and will definitely integrate it. We have 1 1/2 weeks of roadmap filled with existing tasks.
And then we will plan the new round of tasks, and Trophy will land on that list 🚀
Congrats on this launch Charlie!!
Would love to hear about the specific databases you chose for handling high-volume event tracking and leaderboards?

@cathcorm Thanks Catherine! A lot of it is Redis, it can handle pretty much whatever we throw at it in terms of transactions per second. We then have a Postgres database that data is flushed to periodically. That way we keep latency low but still maintain a relational structure for when we need it.
@charlie_hb awesome, makes so much sense! thanks for answering :)
Something that I can integrating in my next product if it aligns well. It is hard to build gamification support from scratch. An API can be very helpful. How are handling reliability concerns?

@arjun_279 Hey Arjun, thanks for the comment! Trophy has 99.9% uptime and we make this public on our status page if you're interested in seeing for yourself.
@charlie_hb Sounds great!

Super excited to be launching our 1.0 on ProductHunt and to lead engineering at Trophy. To add to what Charlie said—in addition to letting you ship streaks, leaderboards, points systems like XP or energy, achievements, and end of year Wrapped, we have one hell of a roadmap planned for 2026.
Some things we're cooking up:
⚔️ Challenges: Unite the community around common goals
Create seasonal challenges for users that rally them around a common goal. The community can work toward one aggregate goal ("let's run one million kilometers in February!") or the same individual goal ("Anyone who runs fifty kilometers in February completes the challenge").
🎁 Rewards: Award your users for their success
Connect Trophy-powered features like Leaderboards, Streaks and Achievements to tangible rewards for users, both external to your platform (e.g. gift cards) and internal (e.g. free access to premium).
🔥 Streaks 2.0: Vacation Mode & Personalization
Not every user wants the same streak experience. Give them the flexibility to take a week off when they're on holiday or allow streaks to pause on weekends without breaking.
That and much more coming in 2026. If these sorts of features sound like a good fit for your web or mobile app, now's the time to get started; it's never been easier!

i've always wanted to add a Doulingo-style achievement system to my project, but the backend logic always felt too daunting. seeing how Trophy handles integration is pretty impressive, just a few lines of code. the badge designs are actually top-notch, too. it's a relief not having to worry about the UI/UX from scratch.

@joeyzhang Thanks for the comment Joey! Give it a try and let us know what you think 😀
I love gamification in the product, this makes the user much more used to with minimal efforts. Congrats on the launch!

@anishsharma Thanks for the kind words Anish!
Congrats on 1.0! No-code gamification with streaks, XP & leaderboards—saves tons of dev time. The timezone handling alone is worth it. Excited to integrate!

@zeiki_yu Thanks so much, timezones are the worst! Let me know if you need any help with the set up 🫡
