How it works
The mechanic is deliberately narrow: log an act, let it inspire another, and watch the chain and the score grow. There's no comment thread and no infinite scroll — just Love, Follow, Save, and Inspired.
1. Log an act
Log an act
A member creates a story act or a quick act — with a caption, a category, a map-visibility level, and a story audience (just me, circle, or public).
2. Inspired
Inspired — the difference this makes
From any act, "I was inspired" creates a new act linked back to the one that sparked it, extending its Ripple Chain. That link is the whole point: it's the one action allowed to feel like an event, and it's what lets an institution say what an act of kindness actually set in motion — not just that it happened.
3. Ripple Chain
Ripple Chain
Every act's detail view surfaces the chain of acts it went on to inspire, and drilling from one act into another remounts the detail. The human story leads; the numbers support it, never headline.
4. Ripple Score
Ripple Score
A member's cumulative impact, reflected back to them as a concentric score ring — a personal reflection, not staged as a competitive ranking.
5. Ripple Map
Ripple Map
A map of activity, bucketed by each act's own map-visibility setting — exact, approximate, town-level, or hidden.
6. My RippleCore Year
My RippleCore Year
A yearly recap of acts, reach, and the longest Ripple Chain a member started.
What RippleCore deliberately leaves out
No comments. No reply threads. No infinite scroll. No follower-count flexing. Four actions only: Love, Follow, Save, and Inspired.
