When we think of cities it is perhaps buildings that first come to mind, great massings of architecture imagined into being out of stone, steel and glass. But beyond their built surface, cities are dense in layers unseen — myths, stories, histories, subcultures, the rhythm and pull of life. The brief for this project was to create an app that maps some aspect of the

unseen city. How can we reveal invisible or overlooked layers of the place we live? Divulge is an app that allows people to confess secrets they cannot comfortably share with others in a non-judgemental, anonymous environment. In exchange, users are also able to read the posted confessions to indulge their curiosity. This app aims to encourage people to share their secrets to release the emotional and physical burden of keeping secrets. By creating a fun and safe environment, Divulge hopes to reveal the diverse stories and secrets hidden by the people of Sydney.
