JustLetMePee is an info punk project: it brings together available, open and abandoned databases and repos
into one free reference tool for queer, trans and disabled folks to find accessible restrooms.
It shows the nearest restrooms to you, and what's known about each: whether it's all-gender, whether
it's accessible, and a door code when someone has shared one. This is an early alpha.
Where the data comes from
JustLetMePee stands on the shoulders of earlier community projects:
- Safe2Pee, the original crowd-sourced map of gender neutral and safe restrooms. It's gone now, but its
database lives on.
- Refuge Restrooms
(open source on GitHub)
was made to fill the gap Safe2Pee left. Its first 4,500 entries came from the old Safe2Pee database; the rest
were added by its users. Most of the all-gender restrooms here come from Refuge, and JustLetMePee builds on it.
Alongside that:
- People using JustLetMePee add restrooms, update what they know and flag listings that are wrong.
- OpenStreetMap: public toilets mapped by volunteers.
- The City of San Francisco (DataSF): city restrooms, with hours.
Privacy
- Your location is only used to sort the list. It's sent with the request and never saved.
- You don't need an account to find a restroom. Signing in (to add, update or flag) is handled by Cloudflare
Access: it emails you a one-time code. No password. Cloudflare Access keeps your email to send codes;
JustLetMePee itself never stores it, only a scrambled fingerprint that recognizes you next time.
- Updates show the display name you pick, or "Someone".
Community rules
- Be kind. No harassment, in notes or anywhere else.
- No private homes. Only places anyone can use, or customers can.
- Share door codes only for places that give them to customers. Codes show only to people who are signed in.
