About

Ashglow

Some thoughts are meant for the dark. Ashglow is a bonfire that only burns between sunset and sunrise. Write a thought into the fire — it drifts away as a spark. Receive a spark from a stranger — add wood to warm their fire, or let it drift into the wind. No profiles. No followers. No replies. Just quiet words exchanged between strangers sitting by distant fires. Your fire grows warmer when others add wood to your sparks. At dawn, the fire fades. A summary of the night remains — then silence until dark returns. • Write thoughts (up to 140 characters) into your bonfire • Receive anonymous sparks from strangers around the world • Add wood to sparks that warm you • Keep up to 20 sparks in your jar • Watch your fire's warmth grow through the night • See the night's summary at dawn Only available between 5 PM and 8 AM local time. Some things are better in the dark. Long press any spark to report or block. Your safety matters.
