The swipe feed had become useful enough that it needed a real place in the product.
I added it to the bottom nav as Feed, then simplified the browsing controls around it. Instead of duplicating the full Find experience, the feed now uses a few understandable lenses: best matches, nearby, and dogs that have been waiting longer.
Dog detail also became an entry point. If someone is already looking at a dog and wants to keep exploring similar options, they can move into a seeded feed instead of backing out and rebuilding that context themselves.
The design challenge was making the feed feel immersive without making the rest of the app disappear. I tightened the bottom nav, status-area treatment, card legibility, detail sheet behavior, and saved/share polish so the surface felt intentional rather than bolted on.
This was the feed becoming part of the product's navigation model, not just a fun way to browse.
