Features
Everything Spark does, and why it is there.
Spark is built around one job: get you the story while it is still happening, from the people who are in it, with enough context to know what you are reading.
Feeds
For You, and only the people you chose
Two feeds, and you decide which one you are in. For You is the live picture of your city as it moves. Following is exactly the accounts you picked, in order, with nothing inserted.
- For You surfaces what is happening near you now
- Following stays strictly to the accounts you chose
- Breaking badges mark a story the moment it turns
Posting
Short-form text and video, from where it happened
Post in a few words or a few seconds. The people standing in the story file first, so coverage starts before anyone has written it up.
- Text, photo, and video in one composer
- Polls, location, and GIF when they help
- Quote and repost to move a story forward
Topics and discovery
Follow a story, not just an account
Spark groups posts into the events they belong to, so you can subscribe to a story and get every update in one place instead of scrolling for it.
- Subscribe to a topic and follow it to the end
- Filter by Politics, Business, Entertainment, Health and wellness, Science
- Morning Digest turns the day into one brief with both sides
Profiles and credentials
Know who is telling you
A profile carries what you need to weigh a post: who the account is, what they cover, and whether the platform has verified them.
- Verified badge shown only in its published state
- Role and interest badges say what an account covers
- Creator Studio for the people who report here full time
Search and trending
Search the live world
Ask what is happening anywhere and get what is being reported right now, not the best-indexed page from last week.
- Filter by Top, Latest, People, Videos, Photos
- Trending shows what the city is actually on
- The map answers where, the moment you ask
Getting in
Invite only, on purpose
Spark is growing one neighbourhood at a time. An invite code creates your account. No code yet means the waitlist, and we open it city by city.
- Redeem a code to create an account
- Join the waitlist if you do not have one
- Members get invites to pass on
