Hey ladies,
I'm new to this website but I have been a long time lurker of the subreddit and die-hard fan of the podcast.
I'm reaching out here because I just launched a Kickstarter for an app that is meant to create a community for women. It is meant specifically for women who feel unsafe or are alone in public. I love FDS and what it stands for, and I can't think of a better place to share this app than with the FDS community.
You can find the project here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/salus/salus-a-safety-app-for-women/
I just launched the project today and am looking for funding and a way to get the word out there. I am running this project solo so any help with spreading the word or raising funds is greatly appreciated. Also feedback or interactions with the page (such as asking FAQs, etc.) would be very helpful!
Thank you all in advance and I can't wait to bring this project to fruition :)
I love the initiative. Keep in mind that your biggest vulnerability is that men will use this to track women. Be very careful in how you go about this. I think if you have some way of making sure that all who sign up are women only, that can come some way in preventing it (although a man can still use a woman's phone, so you still need other security measures). Scrotes will sink to very low levels to find women to abuse.
In my country we use a system called BankID, in which you can sign in to various services with a full confirmation of your identity. It is used for banks and government sites, so it is considered quite safe. Certain other apps also use this system to confirm the identity of the person logging in. Something like that would perhaps be helpful to your project.
Best of luck in your endeavours!
