How do I start?
I assume you want to dig right in, so hold down the circle in the center of the screen and hopefully the rest of the app will reveal itself to you.
I have enough accounts already, do I need to signup to use Hidelight?
No, you can start by opening up the app and looking around, hopefully somebody already blazed a trail around you and left you things nearby for you to see. Alas, since Hidelight is new that’s not likely. If you’d like to do more than browse you’ll need to create an…
What can I contribute?
For now you can add different types of images, we recommend PNGs as they tend to blend in better than other formats, audio and video. If you don’t have anything to add on your phone try out the library function under templates to find content that other users have uploaded.
How do I contribute?

What are the points for?
The points in the app let you know where you stand in your community. They also act as a way for us to assess your reliability. As you gain more points you have more rights throughout the app. We don’t want people to join Highlight in order to troll, so…
