Heatwave
Every post starts blurred. Enough interest and it opens.

I came up with Heatwave hungover in bed. I wanted to be intentional with my attention and feel caught up, not scroll through hours of slop brain rot. Every post is blurred. Tap the flame to tell someone you’re excited to see it. One flame won’t open it. When enough people rally, it opens for all of them at once. Scroll past and it stays locked. Curiosity, then a slow burn. A social app in 2026 is insane. But there had to be something more exciting than this. Build the hype, earn the reveal.
