Where widgets appear in the Xiaohongshu community

Widgets reach users in multiple ways and integrate deeply with the Xiaohongshu community.

  • Note attachment

    Notes are the most important distribution channel for widgets, and the problem a widget solves is tightly tied to note content. A widget serves as an extension of the note.

    • Entry visibility: shown to everyone who has used the widget. Users who have never used it see no entry
    • Native feel: no mini program capsule, with fast half-screen launch that opens and closes on demand
