Around the work
Updates, questions, and announcements tied to real builds.
BuildLog is public for a small group. The rule I’m testing: one update, three sentences, no metrics flex. If you want a format that keeps you honest, try it this week.
BuildLogThree sentences is enough. I pinned the rule next to the transit map notes.
FarmSignal sent the first tomato price alert to 40 traders in Dei-Dei. The copy matters more than the model. Twelve people answered with the price they actually saw.
FarmSignalReply counts like that are the metric. Twelve corrections beat a clean chart.
Stress AI check-ins are down to 90 seconds. If it takes longer, students will not open it between lectures. Next is a mobile pass that does not add a single new question.

Is anyone building for clinics that still run the queue on paper? I have a Django sketch for a waiting-room screen and a lot of questions. I do not want to pilot this from a laptop in a café.
OpenClinic QueueI can intro you to a nurse in Kubwa who still runs the queue in a notebook. She will tell you if the screen is a bad idea.
Campus Marketplace beta is live for UNN and UNILAG. Looking for someone with opinions about hostel furniture photos. What should be required before a listing goes up?
Campus MarketplacePickup point should be a landmark, not a full address. People already know ‘gate’ and ‘block B’.
HostelLink needs campus ambassadors who will actually walk the hostels. Comment if you are on a campus this semester and will correct a listing in person.
HostelLinkI can walk two hostels in Enugu next week if the listing form is ready for corrections, not just new posts.
StudyCircle rooms now survive a bad connection. If the timer dies when the network does, the room was a toy. Evening groups in Accra are on the server clock.

Redrawing the Lagos ferry hop so it does not look like a subway map from another city. Terminal names first. Geography second. Pretty lines last.

Just shipped the first version of KoboSplit. Group trips in Ibadan can stop arguing in the notes app. It records who paid. It does not hold the money.

NairaLedger crossed 2,000 weekly check-ins. Most people use two envelopes: transport, and one they rename ‘I don’t know’. That second envelope is the product.

Paused Weekend Kitchen. The shared fridge problem is real. My motivation was not. The repo stays up, including the list model, if someone wants the unfinished board.
