AntecaWhich product decisions cannot be reversed later?
Gema Space brings kindergartens, educational centres, activities and events for families in Bucharest into one place, with verified listings rather than unmoderated posts. Being ad-free and privacy-first was decided as a product rule up front, not added afterwards.
Settle the constraints that shape the whole product — trust, moderation, business model — while they are still cheap to change, and write them into the plan your team builds from.
Product Discovery & Solution BlueprintParents organising family life juggle a dozen apps, Facebook groups and word-of-mouth to find kindergartens, after-school activities and events — with no single trustworthy place, and ads everywhere. Gema Space set out to be that one ad-free place for families in Bucharest.
- Centralise kindergartens, educational centres, activities and events
- Keep listings verified and trustworthy, not crowd-noise
- Make it genuinely ad-free
- Let families share and coordinate plans together
- Work natively on iOS and Android
We built Gema Space as native iOS and Android apps built around verified listings and family coordination, privacy-first and ad-free.
Verified, not crowd-sourced noise. Listings for kindergartens, centres, activities and events are verified, so parents are choosing from trustworthy options rather than wading through unmoderated posts.
Discovery that fits a parent. Map-based discovery, an events calendar and advanced filtering help parents find what fits by location, age and interest.
Smart family sharing. Families coordinate plans together inside the app rather than across group chats.
Ad-free and privacy-first. No advertising and a privacy-first design — a deliberate product choice, not an afterthought.
Stack: SwiftUI, Jetpack Compose, Firebase, Google Maps, calendar integration and push notifications.
Over 10,000 families use Gema Space actively across 500+ verified locations, with a weekly-updated events calendar and smart family sharing — and zero ads.
For parents in Bucharest it replaces the scattered mix of apps and groups with one trustworthy, ad-free place to find and coordinate family activities — the kind of product people keep on their home screen because it actually removes friction from real life.
