Cake Web & App
Designed from the ground up for mobile, Cake.co works on any device with a browser. Cake App provides an even better experience for iOS users and is available to download on the App Store.

Feed
Everyone gets a custom feed of conversations based on topics of their interest. Users can sort their conversation feeds by Interesting, Active, and New.
Conversation
Reading conversations as they unfold over time is one of the distinct features of Cake. Some conversations span days, weeks, and even months. Users can post their thoughts, reply to each other, and give reactions. Each new post gets added to the bottom of the conversation to maintain chronology.
Posts in a conversation can have images, embedded links and videos.
At the end of the conversation users see suggested topics to follow.
Topics
Following and unfollowing topics are the best ways to improve one's feed. It is also a quick way to discover conversations on a specific topic.
Category
Find interesting topics and conversations to follow in Categories. Sort them by “Featured” or “All”.
Editor
Posts can include images, links, and stylized text. The editor gives users the power to craft rich posts and replies.
Panels
Like podcasts, panels are group conversations that are open to the public to read and react, but not to interrupt. Panelists get protection from trolls, while readers enjoy the discussion without sifting through noise.
Anyone can start a panel and invite others. Only panelists can post, but anyone can read and give reactions. Panel conversations are patent pending.
Panel Q&As
Panels are even better when they are interactive. Any panel conversation can open to take questions from the audience. A moderator vets the questions, and panelists get to answer them.
This unique format rewards asking great questions and lets panelists to interact with their audience without being trolled.
Discover
Browse categories to discover topics to follow and conversations to read. Search for specific topics, conversations, and posts.
Profile
Everyone gets a profile page to change their avatar, add a cover photo, and describe themselves. It is a place to see their latest posts and conversations anywhere on Cake.
