Navigating our cities using free software community based
mobile apps in 'private mode' might sound like an easy task in 2017, but
with a little research you will be quickly disappointed. There are
related platforms out there, but some of them are lacking good User
Experience, others are not community lead or are getting away from the
free software freedoms due to their partnerships with companies that do
not respect our privacy online. These are only some of the reasons the
CityZen app was born in Tirana, as an OSM based Android app that helps
us navigate our cities without tracking our location and activities.
CityZen aims to be empowered by the community in terms of development
and promotion and as a digital wallet for cryptocurrency used to make
payments for goods and services from POIs easily through the app. Soon
CityZen will apply blockchain as a decentralized process for the
management of the cryptocoin based revenue that will be gathered through
the app making it one of the few platforms out there used to help you
find physical POIs and buy goods without giving away your real identity.*
