This is really cool. Congrats on the launch. Would be interested to know which low resource languages in Sub-Saharan Africa you'd be working on, particularly in Nigeria and South Africa.

Agreed, it's a shame the wording on this license is so confusing as it's a really nice framework... just way to confusing about what you can/can't do with it

Thanks for the info! Really super interesting to hear about your sources of inspiration for this is India. I think you're onto something with a chat app UX for small businesses!

This is interesting! How did you come up with this idea for emerging markets in particular? Also, out of interest, what service are you using for the SMS authentication?

Yes! I also really enjoyed the Futurological Congress. The film rendition, while straying from the short story significantly, is still worth watching I think. https://imdb.com/title/tt1821641

Yes, I think this example highlights a point many aren't picking up on. PWAs have been biggest in emerging markets. I think Ali Baba also used them to great effect. Ever tried to get users in emerging markets on old Android devices to

Thanks for sharing this, is interesting to hear what other folks are doing in practice! We were actually thinking of migrating to something similar in terms of data fetching to Apollo/graphql and leaving redux for more app wide state p

I think there are a range of software businesses that are now viable given the maturity of the mobile money systems, the penetration of smartphones and coverage of data networks. B2C is tough as purchasing power is low, but if you get to si

Interesting take the mpesa back story. For those interested in the current state of the mobile money industry in Africa and other developing countries I can recommend GSMA [1]. While I think the "send money home" value proposition

Thanks for the clarification here! Since you are using freemium at the moment do you have some way of quantifying the hassle that this decision has created? It would be interesting to know more about how you navigate this kind of tradeoff s

I went through it the first time by reading over Computability & Logic (5th edition) [1]. I'd love to go over it again, and would recommend it to anyone interested who has a few weekends to invest. [1] https://www.goodre
