“Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in a while, or the light won’t come in,” Isaak Asimov reminds us. However, today’s social media feeds often reinforce existing beliefs rather than challenging them. This creates a culture of division, isolating users from diverse viewpoints and fueling the spread of misinformation.
Spiral Social aims to change that. Inspired by the collaborative spirit of Wikipedia, Spiral Social allows users to explore a vast variety of perspectives on any topic that ignites their curiosity. With a single click, Spiral lets users access a spectrum of opinions on all their interests. This exposure to diverse viewpoints fosters a deeper understanding of complex issues and helps dismantle the walls of misinformation.
Spiral Social: More Than Just a Social Network
Spiral Social’s benefits extend far beyond individual users. It presents a powerful opportunity for individuals and organizations with established Wikipedia pages. Spiral can transform any Wikipedia page into a dynamic one, teeming with a passionate community actively engaging with the content. This fosters deeper connections with audiences and enriches online presence in a way that traditional social media simply can’t replicate.

Inspiring Story
Three’s a Crowd (But Not in Our App)
The “personas bar” – a feature letting users create three online identities – was a nightmare to design. The team tried every design trick, but nothing made juggling these “social selves” intuitive. Finally, the lead designer, desperate, asked his teenage daughter for a solution. The next day, she provided a napkin sketch: one named head with two smaller, nameless heads beside it. Bingo! It captured the essence – a core identity with branching personas. Hours later, the developers had a new design based on her idea – the first iteration of Spiral’s persona bar. A simple solution from an unexpected source, proving that sometimes, the best ideas come from outside the box.

Company Role Model
Tinder was inspiring for Spiral Social due to its innovative approach to marketing at college parties. This approach was a great way to target exactly the best users for the app, and it worked exceptionally well. The team at Spiral Social strongly believes identifying their first clients is the most challenging task they face these days, and this is what they are focusing on.
