Interesting idea. I agree it can give a more community feel, knowing that your progress is seen by others.
On the other hand, I'm not sure how well it translates to a feed like WIP. With Instagram Stories and TikTok profile views they are concrete user actions, whereas when scrolling to a feed of many todo's, it doesn't necessarily mean you've viewed all these todo's.
The Like buttons serve a similar purpose. I wonder if there are ways to increase adoption of those?
Maybe only add someone if the TODO was within view of their screen for a certain duration, like two or three seconds, so if someone is quickly scrolling past it won't count.
With IG and FB stories people can just tap on the right edge of their screen to see the next one, so it doesn't necessarily indicate an intention to seek out a particular person's story. IMO it's very similar to what you have with the WIP feed.
