Çeşmebaşı: A Safe Women-Only Community in the Rhein-Main Region
„flört değil, komşuluk“ (not dating, neighborliness) — Turkish-speaking women build real friendships, offline not performative.
Challenge
Turkish-speaking women in the Rhein-Main region — often newly arrived — struggle to find a safe, judgment-free space for real friendships. Mainstream social media is performative, unsafe and often dating-oriented.
Solution
A women-only community with invitation-plus-approval membership, deliberately minimal data collection and no reach metrics at all. The focus is on real meetups — coffee, book clubs, career talks — not likes. Built with Next.js 15 and Prisma, including a native iOS app.
