We thought we were building a platform to help people book spaces.
Turns out, the real problem wasn’t booking.
It was everything that happened before and after the booking.
The endless “Is this available?”
The back-and-forth on WhatsApp.
The manual payments.
The forgotten inquiries.
That’s when Fiilar stopped becoming a marketplace in our minds.
We’re building the operating system for businesses that sell space.
Still early. Still learning. But every host we meet reminds us we’re solving the right problem.
For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter.
AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country.
Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty.
The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models.

Apple just made Docker Desktop optional on Mac.
And it is completely free.
This is apple/container. 26.5k stars no Github.
You can now run Linux containers natively on your Mac without installing Docker Desktop, without a background daemon hogging your RAM, and without paying $21 a month per developer for a commercial license.
Here is what it does:
→ Runs Linux containers as lightweight VMs directly on Apple Silicon using macOS 26 virtualization
→ Fully OCI compatible. Pull any image from Docker Hub, GitHub Container Registry or anywhere else
→ Written in Swift and optimised specifically for Apple Silicon. Faster and lighter than anything Docker Desktop does on Mac
→ Standard container CLI syntax. If you know Docker commands you already know how to use this
→ Push images you build to any standard container registry and run them anywhere
Docker Desktop charges $21 per developer per month for commercial use. Apple's version costs nothing and ships as open source under Apache-2.0.
Microsoft made Docker Desktop optional on Windows with WSL Containers last month.
Apple just did the same on Mac.
Docker is not going anywhere. But the era of paying for a GUI wrapper around containers on your own machine is quietly ending.

@BobTechies Spot on. The talent exists. Plenty of senior Nigerian engineers are thriving remotely for US/EU companies at $5k–$10k+/month. While locals will be paying for trash.
@akintollgate I experienced this when returning from Egypt to Nigeria. It was a seamless experience. I wowed. However, we still have a long way to go in terms of overall experience.
Yesterday, @Logosgeneration had her 3rd year anniversary & we were thinking what app to use to display bible verses. Pbeam comes to mind but after installation it kept crashing.
So we decided to do the hardwork by forking rhema repo, handled the setup/dep, and we got it running
Hi guys, I built an open-source alternative to @pewbeam_ai in one week.

Started coding during a Sunday church service. By the following Sunday, we were using it live during our church service. Wild.
Here's what Rhema does: it listens to your pastor's sermon in real-time, detects Bible verse references as they're mentioned, and displays them on screen instantly. No manual clicking, no dedicated slide operator needed.
The tech stack:
- Tauri 2.0 with a Rust backend handling all the heavy lifting: audio capture, transcription pipeline, verse detection logic, and system tray integration
- Local AI embeddings using Qwen3-0.6B so everything runs on-device with zero cloud dependency. Your sermons never leave your machine
- Real-time audio transcription paired with semantic search against a full Bible verse database
The Rust backend was a deliberate choice. We needed low latency audio processing and efficient memory usage for running an embedding model locally, and Rust delivers on both.
Is it perfect? Probably not. But the core functionality works and we're already using it in a real church environment
This is where you come in. Rhema is fully open source and we need contributors to help take it to the next level. Whether it's improving the verse detection accuracy, adding multi-language support, building a better overlay UI, adding support for more Bible translations, or optimizing the transcription pipeline, there's real work to be done and real impact to be made.
If you're a Rust developer, a frontend engineer, an ML enthusiast, or just someone who loves building tools for the church, come build with us.
Star the repo. Fork it. Open a PR. Let's make this the go-to open-source solution for live Bible verse display in churches worldwide.

Christ is risen and everything changed. 🙌🏾
Not a prophecy in our time or even a story
Our hope is alive.
Our future is secure and
Our victory is certain.
The grave could not hold Him.
And nothing can hold you either.
Happy Easter, family. ❤️

Planning some “Mathematics of Artemis II” content 🚀
What concepts do you want explaining? :)
I want to showcase the beauty of mathematics and the wonderful places it shows up in space flight 🌝
