Your neighborhood, alive. No feeds. No algorithms. Flash Local shows you what's happening around you RIGHT NOW — the food truck parked downtown, the yoga pop-up in the park, the garage sale two streets over, the coffee shop's one-day special. Every post is live, local, and gone when it's done. FLASH — THE WHOLE CITY, LIVE Every flash across the city, as it happens. When it expires, it's gone — the board is now, not history. THE BLOCK — YOUR STREETS Zoom into your neighborhood. Every pin sits where the vendor actually is right now — the truck's parking spot, the pop-up's corner — not just a storefront address. FAVES & WALLET Heart your favorite spots and their coupons land in your wallet automatically. Redeem at the counter with a tap. SEE SOMETHING YOU LOVE? Tap "I want that" and vendors see it instantly. Enough neighbors want it, it comes back. FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES — FREE Post in seconds and the whole city can see you. NEW: AUTOPILOT — set your week once and Flash Local posts for you. Pick your days, pick your flashes, and your schedule runs itself — it even skips automatically if you already posted that day. Save any flash as a template, reuse it, tweak it per day. Watch views and "I want that" counts roll in on every post. Food trucks, pop-ups, markets, studios, shops, garage sales — if it's happening in your neighborhood, it belongs on Flash Local. Your city is more alive than your feed. Come see it.
