Of course, everything wasn’t smooth.
We found bugs.
We found things that weren’t as intuitive as we thought.
We found places where students got confused.
And sometimes we had to look at something we’d just built and admit:
“Yeah… this needs work.”
😂
@campfleet09@simonsquibb
But I’m actually grateful we found those problems early.
It’s better to discover that something doesn’t work when you have hundreds of users giving you feedback than after you’ve spent years pretending everything is perfect.
Early users give you room to learn.
@campfleet09@simonsquibb
Then the messages started coming.
Some students were telling us what they liked.
Others were asking why certain features weren’t there yet.
Some basically gave us a whole product roadmap without knowing it 😂
And honestly, we needed that.
@campfleet09@simonsquibb
One example is our Taskbell concept.
The idea is to help students keep track of things they need to remember, including class-related reminders.
It’s one of those features that might sound simple until you actually need it.

@themacliu Sir @themacliu please can you dm me sir ,been tagging you since yesterday so you can know could notice me and get to know what we are building @Campfleet09
Someone could ask:
“Why not just use WhatsApp?”
Fair question.
WhatsApp is great for conversations.
But Campfleet isn’t being built around messaging alone.
We’re trying to connect messaging with campus communities, discovery, gigs, content and student tools in one environment.
@campfleet09@simonsquibb
That’s Day 3.
Yesterday was about listening to students.
Today was about what we’re building for them.
Tomorrow, I want to talk about something different:
the progress Campfleet has made so far and what happened after we put the first version in students’ hands.
There’s a lot more to the story.

#Campfleet
Student communities are a huge part of campus life.
Departments.
Courses.
Clubs.
Interests.
Different student communities already exist everywhere.
Campfleet gives those communities a place to come together instead of having everything scattered across different chats.
@campfleet09@simonsquibb
And it works the other way too.
You don’t have to wait for someone to offer you a gig.
If you have a skill, you can put it out there.
Maybe you’re a designer.
Maybe you code.
Maybe you braid hair.
Maybe you’re good at photography.
Your campus can become your first market.
@campfleet09@simonsquibb
One thing we learned quickly:
we can’t build @Campfleet09 based only on what we think students need.
We have to listen to them.
They’re the people using it, so their feedback has become a big part of how we’re deciding what to build next.@simonsquibb
DAY 1/9
I’m Sharafadeen Lukman, founder of Campfleet, building it with my co-founder, Adebowale Uthman.
We’re both students, and @Campfleet09 started from seeing how scattered student life can be.
We decided to build something around that problem.
Today, I’m sharing the story behind it.
