You walked today. Maybe 3.2 km, maybe 5 or 10 km. But while you were on the move, other walkers were taking on their daily challenge too. Some were starting their first week. Others were continuing a streak that began months ago.
What if you could discover their journeys, their achievements and everything we accomplish together?
WSWA is evolving its community experience with a completely redesigned Activity Feed, available on the website and in the iOS and Android apps.
It's a new way to follow the community, celebrate progress and find one more reason, every day, to lace up your shoes.
Behind every walk, there's a story
Every day, walkers set out on their routes. Some walk before heading to work. Others make the most of a lunch break or wait until the end of the day to go out.
Distances vary, and so do habits. One person covers 3.2 km around their neighborhood, another discovers a new 8 km route, a third keeps up a long daily streak.
What brings them together isn't their speed or their distance. It's the desire to keep going.
Until now, WSWA mainly let everyone follow their own progress, their badges, their footprints and how they move up the rankings.
Now, we also want to make room for the stories of those who walk alongside us.
That's the whole spirit of the new WSWA Activity Feed.
Who walked today?
It's now one of the questions the Activity Feed can answer in a matter of moments.
The community's latest activities appear in a modernized layout, designed to quickly highlight the important information and the newest achievements.
Depending on the data available for each activity, the cards let you find:
- The distance covered and the length of the walk.
- The walker's pace, when available.
- Their streak of consecutive days.
- The footprints earned.
- Their rank and progress in the Grand Tour.
- Recently earned badges, certifications and milestones.
But behind this information lies something more interesting than a simple sports result.
Seven consecutive days means seven appointments kept with yourself. Two hundred and thirty-five days is remarkable consistency. A 3.2 km walk is a daily commitment, renewed.
To validate a day of your WSWA walking streak, the reference rule remains a walk of at least 3.2 km (2 miles) in a single outing. But community life isn't limited to that distance: other recorded activities have their place too.
The new Activity Feed highlights these different journeys with clearer cards, warmer achievement messages and special attention to individual progress.
Has a walker just reached a milestone? You can send them a Bravo or leave a comment of encouragement.
A small gesture, sometimes enough to make someone want to start again the next day.
Together, we go further
On WSWA, everyone follows their own path. Yet all these walks also tell a collective adventure.
The new Activity Feed gives more visibility to community summaries:
- The kilometers walked together over a week.
- The number of walkers who took part.
- The number of walks validated.
- The records and major collective milestones reached.
Imagine opening WSWA and discovering that the community has just broken its weekly record.
Your walk of a few kilometers helped make that result happen, too.
The goal is not to add competition between members. It is to make a simple reality visible: every contribution counts, no matter the distance covered.
Because walking is individual, but motivation can become collective.
The new Activity Feed is coming to the WSWA website too
This update isn't just for the mobile apps.
The WSWA website's Activity Feed also gets a new look, inspired by the iOS and Android experience.
The idea is to give you the same community feel on a computer, tablet or smartphone, while still making the most of what each screen does best.
On the web, activities are easier to read and achievements get more room to shine.
The pulse of the community
How many activities have been logged today? How many streaks are currently active? How many countries are represented?
The community pulse gives you an overview of life on WSWA, beyond your own activity.
Latest achievements
A new badge, a certification earned, a symbolic milestone reached: these moments appear in the Activity Feed to celebrate walkers and their progress.
Members to discover
The Activity Feed also lets you discover other profiles, follow walkers and find their activities.
It's a simple way to get to know the community, even if you usually walk alone.
Your own stats
For logged-in members, personal indicators help you keep an eye on your progress and consistency.
The website thus becomes a livelier community space, while remaining the front door for those discovering WSWA.
More than an Activity Feed: several ways to discover WSWA
The new Feed in the apps doesn't just bring together members' walks and achievements. It also gives you access to several types of content that enrich your daily experience.
⚡ WSWA Flash: the news in a few moments
Short, accessible updates on walking, health, well-being and scientific discoveries.
A few moments are all it takes to learn something interesting, without having to read a whole article.
📖 The WSWA Journal: understand and improve
Practical tips, methods, motivation and scientific insights: the WSWA Journal is for those who want to deepen their practice.
On the website, it keeps its own dedicated editorial space. In the apps, some of its content also finds a place in the Feed.
🗼 Gavroche's Notebook: explore Paris differently
Stories, offbeat places and anecdotes to see the capital with fresh eyes.
An invitation to feed your curiosity and, why not, to imagine your next Paris stroll.
🗺️ The Grand Tour: walk to travel
Every kilometer brings you virtually closer to a new destination. Paris, Amsterdam, Copenhagen and other stops mark this adventure.
Progress takes on a new dimension: the kilometers you accumulate tell the story of a journey built walk after walk.
These worlds complement one another without distracting WSWA from its main goal: making you want to walk and keep going for the long term.
A community that encourages, never one that guilt-trips
One conviction guides this new experience: consistency deserves to be celebrated as much as performance.
WSWA has no intention of publicly exposing missed days or broken streaks.
The Activity Feed puts the spotlight on efforts made, walks logged, badges earned, milestones reached and achievements shared.
A walker who has just completed their first 3.2 km belongs in the community just as much as a member who has kept a streak going for several hundred days.
You don't need to break a record to deserve some encouragement.
You can admire other people's feats without trying to repeat them. You can go at your own pace, discover different routes and simply be happy to have walked today.
The Activity Feed is not another ranking. It's a place where everyone can find their spot.
What if your next boost of motivation came from another walker?
Sometimes it takes very little to make you want to head out the door.
Discovering that a member has just finished their first week. Seeing that another is keeping their streak going despite the rain. Learning that the community has reached a new collective milestone.
Or simply reading something that makes you want to change your route for your next walk.
With its new Activity Feed on web, iOS and Android, WSWA hopes to create many more of these small moments of motivation.
On your next visit, take a few moments to discover who walked today. Cheer on a member, explore a new story and, why not, add your own walk to this shared adventure.
Everyone walks at their own pace. Together, we go further.
