# Explore

The [Explore page](https://superspl.at) is the public-facing home of SuperSplat — an infinite-scroll gallery of every **Public** splat published on the platform. It's where visitors discover scenes without needing an account.

Browsing Explore is **anonymous** — no PlayCanvas account is required. An account becomes useful when you want to [like](https://developer.playcanvas.com/user-manual/supersplat/scene-page.md#likes), [comment](https://developer.playcanvas.com/user-manual/supersplat/scene-page.md#comments), or [publish your own splats](https://developer.playcanvas.com/user-manual/supersplat/upload.md).

## The grid

Splats are shown as cards with a thumbnail, title, and author. Click a card to open the splat's [scene page](https://developer.playcanvas.com/user-manual/supersplat/scene-page.md).

The grid loads progressively as you scroll — the first page returns 32 splats (a 4×8 layout), and each subsequent page returns 16 (2×8). There's no "next page" button; just keep scrolling.

## Sorting, filtering, and search

Explore is driven entirely by URL parameters, so any filtered view is a shareable link.

### Sort (`?sort=...`)

| Value | Order |
|-------|-------|
| `trending` (default) | Splats gaining the most traction right now |
| `newest` | Most recently published first |
| `oldest` | Oldest first |
| `views` | Most-viewed first |
| `likes` | Most-liked first |
| `largest` | Largest file size first |
| `smallest` | Smallest file size first |

**Trending** is the default view at [superspl.at](https://superspl.at). It ranks splats by a recency-weighted engagement score — recent likes and views count for the most (engagement from the past week or so carries the most weight), with likes weighted above views — and is refreshed periodically, so the page surfaces what's popular *now* rather than all-time favourites.

:::note

Trending already accounts for recency, so it ignores the **time window** below — that control is hidden while Trending is selected.

:::

### Time window (`?time=...`)

Restricts the result set to splats published within a window. This applies to every sort **except `trending`** (the default), which always spans all time — selecting Trending hides the time control and clears any `?time=` value from the URL. For the other sorts the window defaults to `month` (the last 30 days).

| Value | Window |
|-------|--------|
| `month` | Last 30 days |
| `day` | Last 24 hours |
| `week` | Last 7 days |
| `year` | Last 12 months |
| `all` | No time restriction |

### Feature filters (`?features=...`)

Comma-separated list. The available filters are:

| Value | Splats matching |
|-------|-----------------|
| `walkable` | Splats with [collision](https://developer.playcanvas.com/user-manual/supersplat/studio/collision.md) — visitors can walk through them |
| `downloadable` | Splats whose creators have enabled [downloads](https://developer.playcanvas.com/user-manual/supersplat/manage.md#downloadable--license) |

### Search (`?q=...`)

The top-nav search bar adds a `q=` parameter that matches against splat **title** and **description**.

### Combined example

`https://superspl.at/?sort=likes&time=month&features=walkable&q=museum`

> Most-liked walkable splats published in the last month whose title or description mentions "museum."
