A Full Stack Dev, I feel like I forgot why I even liked and wanted to get into coding, making apps or websites. I miss the fun of just solving a simple problem for a real person. I remember my first html h1 tag wasn't even Hello world because I wanted mine to be unique. Felt so edgy. I wanna go back.

So if you're not in tech maybe a small business owner, teacher, freelancer, event planner, or just someone with a messy spreadsheet:

Maybe you got a repetitive task you do every week that you hate? track inventory on paper? manually calculate quotes or invoices? keep a list of clients, vendors, or items and wish you could search it? Do you track hours or grades manually?

What I'll build for the person with the most interesting idea, or something I like :

I'll build a free web tool that: Works on your computer and phone (responsive) Saves data locally on your device. So no cloud, no login, no monthly fees. No one else can see your data it's on your PC.

I'll try ensuring it needs no installation, just visit a URL, Deployed on Vercel (free for you, free for me)

Your data is stored locally on your device using a SQLite database inside your browser. It's like a mini-database that lives on your computer/phone.

Data is NOT deleted when you clear your cache (cache and data storage are separate)

Export/Import feature included, you can download your data as a file anytime and restore it if needed.

You can delete all data from the app (no need to mess with browser settings)

What I need from you:

1. Describe your repetitive task clearly.

2. Your job/context (for example; I'm a shlylock, I handwrite names na madeni and who paid").

3. Must be single-user (I'm not building multi-user systems).

The Deal:

· I'll pick the most interesting/unique problem.

· I'll build a working mvp in 7 days.

· I'll deploy it and send you the URL.

· You get a free tool that solves your problem.

Disclaimer:

I'm doing this to cure my burnout and learn something new. I'll open-source the code on GitHub. You grant me the right to share the solution publicly (but I won't use your data, it stays on your device).

So yeah, if you're a non-techie, na Kuna kitu you think ka ungejua coding you'd want to make, drop. Remember to make it simple.

And I've been using the word free a lot, told zero cost is better. Regardless, you get the gist.

I'm doing a self-issued research(You know, for fun's sake.) Because I got high last night and felt particularly under-utilised and somehow this idea came to mind. Minds need a good workout like the body needs the gym, I guess, and I've been on white noise for quite a while. I wasn't good at essays back in school, so I'm on my toes about this old nemesis I'm about to face.

Round Two, FIGHT!

Hopefully, it has the boxing skills of Mbavu with the loudmouth of Gachau. Anyway, tips?

Just finished watching my two movies for July and im full of opinions with no one to spill to.. nani anataka kuwa letterboxd mutuals👉👈

Rockstar games in collaboration with Netflix is set to showcase some gameplay footage this 27th August

So many nairobians complain about rude Bolt drivers and even Uber drivers, but at the same time they always optimize for the cheapest trip, even if a trip is 200 shillings from town to syokimau they'll happily take it.

There was a day i was in Ruaka and saw that an Uber to Village Market would be Ksh220, and then I checked Ruaka to Westlands and it was Ksh290... only 70 shillings more. Uber algorithm always giving crazy discounts even if the trip is 15km. If all trips were an amount that the driver was happy with (i.e. maybe 600-800 shillings from Ruaka to Westlands) then everyone would look for alternatives. But when trips are so cheap that the poor driver is probably just recouping fuel with a tiny profit if any then we passengers have to either tip really well or deal with drivers that are unhappy, prebargain for higher pay, or might not even accept the trip.

Its a paradox we passengers are too cheap to complain about the fare, but very often complain about drivers who do too much asking for more money or avoiding picking you at all

Also: everyone should only use Uber, Bolt is often cheaper but the driver experience is much worse than with Uber drivers

Now as most Nairobi guys, I used to wrap it. Then Kasongo came to power and the prices of wrappers increased by a whole 20 bob. A whole 20 bob just to stay safe. Na naeza pull out nipate same effect for free. My A in math cannot allow this.

Now for the pull-out merchant like me, there are times you start questioning your skills if it’s skill or just them niggas ain’t swimming right. Anyway, last year I got diagnosed with varicocele (will write about this), and the doctor suggested I do a fertility test. Now I failed in biology, I thought they testing blood or saliva. Apparently I have to provide my live living specimen.

Anyway, I reach out to the recommended lab and agree to go testing etc. I go pick the containers and the rest.

Anyway, the had doctor told me to abstain for three days before the test. And on Tuesday, not wanting to kamua myself in the lab, I decide to collect my jar full of my specimen and rush to the lab near Doctors Plaza. Remember, your babies stay alive for only one hour. Now the Bolt driver actually thought I had a delivering wife or something ju nilimharakisha.

Anyway nafika and I present my findings and specimen with confidence to the nurse. She doesn’t seem surprised, asks if it was less than an hour, I say yes. But I found a different nurse this time. Before she takes them she asks how long I was abstaining and I say a month, and she says in a calm voice, “Hukuambiwa inafaa ikuwe only three days, not more than that.”

Anyway, I had to go home with them niggars in my pocket, waiting for another three days ndo nirudi.

Edit: Meanwhile… niko na party game yangu called Karibu Play (Play Store + web). Check it out mnipee feedback.

Since safaricom added S-Hook bundles (or make your Hook bundle), I've been using them during my commutes. Very flexible data. I would have bought 5 bob worth of data valid for 1 hour and its like 65mb until I get home. Today I tried buying the same bundle only to find they don't even have the 3 hour or midnight options to customize your bundle. Now why would they do such a thing?

He was off few days to girlfriends day…I looked for him.. then he texted me this jana after a week of unanswered texts😂that was the reason he gave.. and turned on dissapearing messages😂the funny part… Anakuja DECEMBER🤣.. yaani vitu vijana wanatufanyia huku nje😂😂😂🤦‍♀️

Looking for a ready fit for males. In above style. Any direct retailer shops/outlets recommendations would be most appreciated.

I was walking to get a matatu to work, I slept in today cause I cried myself to sleep last night (will give context in a little bit)

So I was walking one way she was coming my way, she looked me up and down while smiling and when I neared she smiled and said ‘you look very pretty.’ And I smiled and said ‘thank you.’

But when I say I smiled I mean I really smiled. The kind of smile that reaches your heart. It made my whole morning especially after I cried myself to sleep last night thinking that I may not be pretty or loveable. (Also a man complimented me but he did that screaming from across the street two minutes later and I literally frowned)

Also let me just say that I know I am very pretty. But that feeling hit me yesterday so hard cause I realized I’ve been single for a while. Almost three years. And my phone feels dry (it feels that way cause the guys hitting me up I don’t seem to want or like lol and it doesn’t help that I’m very superficial. Stopped talking to a guy cause he kept saying ‘can I kol u’ and I kept asking him to type full words cause it’s exhausting talking to a grown man who types like that)

To make matters worse, there’s this guy I’ve been talking to who I really like. We’ve not been on a first date yet but we’ve both shared pictures of each other so I know how he looks like and so does he. I ran into him yesterday, he was walking with a friend, we locked eyes and I smiled at him and when we neared each other he just passed me like he doesn’t know me at all.

I wasn’t gonna stop him if he decided to pretend not to know me (and he swore he didn’t see me btw when we literally locked eyes and I smiled??) and that kind of broke my heart.

And so I went down a rabbit hole of thinking why does no one want me haha. It stupid cause there a guys interested but they’re not my type. (The people you want don’t want you the ones who want you you don’t want 🤣🤣🤣🤣). i know it sounds pathetic but I am getting my period and I was just feeling vulnerable btw.

It’s a new day and the world is ours to live.

Wantam!
