My apps: QueerSpots CY
QueerSpots CY: a private, friendly guide to queer Cyprus.
A free app for LGBTQI+ people in Cyprus and anyone visiting. Friendly venues, community events and support, without giving away who you are.
Live on iOS and Android
What it does
One place to find where you can be yourself.
Finding a welcoming place in a new town should not take ten group chats. QueerSpots puts friendly venues, community events and support resources across Cyprus on one simple map.
Every listing is reviewed before it goes live. That keeps the app useful, and it keeps it safe.
- Friendly venues: cafes, bars and places that welcome everyone
- Community events, so you know what is on
- Support resources, when you need someone to talk to
- Every listing checked before it appears in the app
Privacy first
Four promises, built in from day one.
For many people, being seen in the wrong place can be risky. So the app collects as little as possible.
No public profiles
Nobody can look you up, because there is nothing to look up.
No comments
No public threads, so no space for abuse or outing.
No stored location
The map can help you nearby, but your location is not kept.
How it was built
Made with the community, not just for it.
I founded and built QueerSpots in partnership with eight Cyprus organisations. They helped shape what goes in the app and what stays out.
It is built with React Native and Expo, so one codebase runs on both iPhone and Android. I worked on the brand, the screens, the App Store and Google Play releases.
What it taught me
Lessons I bring to every client.
One job per screen
People open an app with one question. Answer it fast and the rest follows. Landing pages work the same way.
Trust is a feature
Clear promises about data earn more trust than any slogan. I write them into websites too.
Less data, less risk
Collect only what you need. It is safer, simpler and easier under GDPR.
Shipping is a skill
Getting through App Store review and a beta test teaches patience and detail. Launches go more smoothly.
