Why Spiral

Everyone should have a voice.

Our goal is for all people to have a voice and be able to express themselves.

Not likes. Applause.

Not follow. Add.

Not viral. Relevant.

Not back then. Right now.

Not global. Local.

Not an audience. The people around you.

πŸ“ NEAR

It starts where you are.

Open NEAR and the first posts are the ones closest to you.

The further you scroll, the further you see.

Every post shows how far away it is. Keep going and your circle grows.

Your street. Your neighbourhood.

A coffee after six. A place still open. The things you'd actually want to know.

Then your whole city.

A road that's closed. A run club on Sunday. Keys found by the square.

Out of country? Keep scrolling.

NEAR goes on to other countries. It's open to everyone, student or not.

Keep scrolling ↓
πŸŽ“ UNI

UNI is locked.

It's the closed feed of your university. Only students get in.

One email.

Type the email your university gave you.

One code.

We send you a code. Enter it once.

You're in.

No name. No profile. No pressure.

What your school is actually saying.

Notes, study groups, last-minute announcements, the free outlets on the second floor. Not a student? NEAR is still yours.

Anonymous

Say it. No name.

Every account starts with a random Spiral name, not your real one. Want even less? Post or comment as Anonymous with one tap.
