No uploads, no filters from a camera roll, no AI, no bots — just real people showing you what’s actually happening in Detroit right now. Posts expire after 48 hours, so the feed is always what’s happening now, and everyone competes on school, city, state and national leaderboards.

Why Detroit needs a real feed
Search “things to do in Detroit” and you’ll get the same recycled listicles, months-old photos and AI-written roundups. None of it tells you what Detroit looks like tonight.
On Portal, Detroit tells its own story in real time. Locals film what’s in front of them — Downtown Detroit, Corktown, The Riverwalk — and it lands in the Detroit feed instantly, then expires in 48 hours so nothing goes stale.
For creators, the timing matters more than the features: Detroit doesn’t have an established Portal top 10 yet. Post consistently for a few weeks and that leaderboard can have your name on it.
