Today in LGBT history app launched in Maryland
The app, named Quist, was created by Maryland resident Sarah Prager, and was designed by Baltimore-based firm Natural Fusion, and aims to provide an interactive look at events and milestones often forgotten in mainstream historical data.
The free app which is available through both the Apple and Google Play stores, does focus on specific events, however, also aims to trace a broader, mapped history of LGBT history.
Despite there being various more traditional resources available to look at LGBT history, Prager said she wanted to tap into the growing demand for information via mobile platforms, particularly as many pieces of LGBT history are not included in school curricula.
“I really want to bring these stories to the next generation … and make sure they’re accessible,” she said. “We’re meeting people where they are, not asking them to seek it out extra by Googling it themselves.”
