- [Snapchat co-present group viewing loop](/growth-ideas/snapchat-co-present-group-viewing-loop/) - Design moments that can be watched together around one device so non-users experience the product before installing it.
- [Snapchat direct reply pressure without public performance](/growth-ideas/snapchat-direct-reply-pressure-without-public-performance/) - Use direct, low-publicity interaction loops when replies are more important than broadcast reach.
- [Snapchat one-on-one demo before channel scale](/growth-ideas/snapchat-one-on-one-demo-before-channel-scale/) - Before scaling channels, hand-hold strangers through the product so you can see which explanation actually creates use.
