Ever bought a data bundle, connected your laptop hotspot, and watched it vanish in 5 minutes without opening a single tab? π
I got tired of the background data drain, so I built a solution.
Meet SIMPLIFIED Data Guard π‘οΈβa real-time data tracker for Windows.
@souvikdeb26 This one is very common.
When we release the first MVP for simplifiedCBT, everything was fine until complains started coming.
Plot twist - my major users are students with slow 3g internet unlike me.
Had to test the app in 3g myself and edit some asynchronous functions.
@HustledBos Honestly, it's the fear of failure for me.
The thought of looking back in a few years and wondering 'what if' is way scarier than the late nights.
Let's keep grinding brother! π
@codewithsushi I'm in.
Currently building digital infrastructure for the informal student housing market.
Would love to connect with other real builders in the trenches.
@bloomstarbms I'm building FindOffCampus - a platform to bring digital infrastructure to the informal student housing market.
We're awaiting the shortlist for a major fintech innovation challenge.
Having Claude Pro this week to optimize our backend logic would be a massive advantage.
@LionessAtEase Spot on.
The 'just build an app' mindset fails because it ignores existing human friction.
In student tech, if you don't anchor the software to on-ground student realities and trusted local networks, adoption is dead on arrival.
Infrastructure > pure code.
@MarkRakovic Currently in the pre-launch MVP phase!
I just pitched the core architecture for a major fintech innovation challenge here in Nigeria.
Prepping to onboard the first cohort of students at my university next.
Still curious though - what is taking up your bandwidth lately?
@MarkRakovic Hey Mark! Full-stack dev balancing med school with shipping software.
βI built FindOffCampus from scratch - a platform making student housing seamless. Stack is React + Supabase.
βGreat to connect with other builders here. What are you currently working on?
@andrewmccalip@stripe@patrickc Massive win for India!
Any plans to support African devs where Stripe isn't natively available?
Integrating alternative payout routes like Grey or crypto would open this up to thousands of high-volume builders in Nigeria.
@souvikdeb26@andrewmccalip Thatβs actually a solid return for just doing your day-to-day work.
Basically covers the monthly Claude Pro or API bill entirely on autopilot.
Appreciate the insight, Souvik!
