womyn.network

Project Summary

womyn.network began as my final-year Computer Science project and is now continuing as a slow, carefully developed side project. The idea is simple: explore what a safer social space for women could look like when privacy, moderation, and trust are treated as core technical requirements rather than afterthoughts.

The prototype is a JavaScript SPA backed by Firebase, with early experiments in browser-side defensive AI and image-protection workflows. I am keeping the public footprint intentionally small while the product direction, safety model, and community needs are refined.

Technical Direction

• Security-first SPA architecture with Firebase-backed authentication and data storage.
• Edge-based AI experiments for privacy-aware image and content safety.
• Human-centred product design shaped around cautious, staged release decisions.

Live Site & Funding

Ignite Fund Grant Winner: awarded support to continue developing womyn.network beyond the thesis prototype.

WeNetwork Award Winner: received a £2.5k award toward development, validation, and launch preparation.

The interest site is live at womyn.network. Development is ongoing, but intentionally gradual: I am prioritising a focused text-first release, responsible safety tooling, and honest community validation before expanding the AI functionality further.

I expect this to become more collaborative over time. For now, I am shaping the technical foundations and would be interested in future conversations with people working across safety, privacy, community design, moderation, AI, or women-focused digital spaces.
