@jturntdev Sidechat made me switch.

[shadcn @shadcn]

I need horizontal tabs in Codex and Cursor. Impossible to keep track of active chats in the sidebar. Anyone?

[Henry Nnalue @_realhenryc]

Building a clean, functional system in a week is feasible with today’s tools. The challenge lies in the learning and improvement needed to reach Jumia’s level. However, an initial build can be completed in under a week.

[Titanium @akinkunmi]

Even the AI wey una wan use talk say e no possible. 😂

[Henry Nnalue @_realhenryc]

@ImLukeF @thsottiaux This is why I use the CLI exclusively. The app begins to lag after a few hours of using it till you restart it. Hopefully @thsottiaux and his team does something to fix this.

[Henry Nnalue @_realhenryc]

@thsottiaux Next product hint dropped. Let me guess

- remote coding environment
- connect your codex desktop app
- connect the codex mobile app
- drops 12:30PM 2nd of April 2026

[Henry Nnalue @_realhenryc]

@rohanvarma I would use it. Please get it!

[Henry Nnalue @_realhenryc]

@bigbrovar I will explore this electric cooker. I need to cut my cooking gas cost. Your system is powerful. Weldon

[Henry Nnalue @_realhenryc]

Really nice app. I paid and I am enjoying it. Quick one, can you add a way to pin threads and rename threads. The pinned threads should be neatly organized in such a way I can move from one thread to another. Weldon!

Lol sincerely, maybe you should actually consider trying out a proper solar installation. A decent 12kw inverter with 22 units of 600w panels and a 32kwh battery.
All of this is under 7/8M and it will comfortably carry a 4 bedroom home with 4 to 5 ACs, fridge, freezer and the rest.

Just take your time and look into it. The system below generates like 10k worth of electricity every single day based on band A pricing. Currently the system is running 2 1.5hp ACs, fridge and freezer and the load is less than 3kw while the remaining power goes straight to the batteries.

Sha if you’re genuinely curious just take your time and look into it. The information is there. But if na just vibes you dey on, that one na you sabi lol.“

[Beyond The Match @Beyondthematchh]

Money for bungalow you will use to install solar that you still have to off many appliances at night😭

Fix national grid

[Henry Nnalue @_realhenryc]

Breakdown of a normal home setup (9 ACs, fridges, TVs, lights):

Conservative (~₦17.7M)
- Inverters: 2×18kW = ₦3.0M
- Batteries: 4×16.9kWh = ₦6.0M (₦1.5M each)
- Panels: 70×650W = ₦8.75M (₦125k each)
👉 ~67kWh storage (each battery ≈ 17kWh)

Comfortable (~₦22M)
- Inverters: 2×18kW = ₦3.0M
- Batteries: 6×16.9kWh = ₦9.0M
- Panels: 80×650W = ₦10.0M
👉 ~101kWh storage

Key idea:
Each battery (~17kWh) is like a “fuel tank.”
More batteries = longer runtime + better night comfort.

⚠️ Note:
These prices cover only the core components (panels, batteries, inverters).
You will still need to budget for:
- mounting structure
- cables & protections
- installation
- logistics/clearing

Those can add a meaningful extra cost.

[SB @seyedele]

@YoriOlajide Can it power:
9 ACs
2 fridges and 1 freezer
6 TVs
Like 100 lights?

[Henry Nnalue @_realhenryc]

Way less than 10M got this system up and running completely off grid. 12KW system, 32KWh battery, 22 x 600W panels on the roof. it runs 3 ACs, fridge, freezer, water heaters, microwave, everything.

The future is clear. Grid will be for commercial and industrial use. Homes will run on setups like this. And very soon, micro solar companies powering entire apartment blocks will become a very normal thing in Nigeria.

This is not even just a Nigerian thing. All over the world especially in developing countries, people are moving from centralized grids to modular solar installations. The shift is already happening.

We should be actively exploring opportunities along these lines so Nigeria is at the forefront. Our epileptic grid, which is a completely different conversation, actually makes us fertile ground for rapid adoption. The conditions are already here. We just need to move.

[Tamuno-Opubo Cookey-Gam @Cooksopubo]

@holumedhey1 @bigbrovar N10m won't take you off grid 24/7.

N20m could.

Perhaps that was not crystal in my earlier tweet.

[Henry Nnalue @_realhenryc]

Great that you set up OpenClaw! Why not create skills tailored to common Nigerian health issues, updated with local insights? Pharmacies could access these agents via WhatsApp to offer immediate guidance—an evolving, real-time way to support local communities.

[Neto @docneto]

I've just installed openclaw and hooked it up to several tools. Excited for what I can do with it. Any pointers on what it's helped you do so I can copy.

[Henry Nnalue @_realhenryc]

💯💯Codex is an equalizer. New reality

[Greg Brockman @gdb]

if you can imagine it, you can build it

[Henry Nnalue @_realhenryc]

@bolutifeawakan Maybe Nairaland is actually a goldmine for training an “African AI” system.

[Henry Nnalue @_realhenryc]

Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary

[Dr. Ify Aniebo Rhodes-Vivour @IfyAniebo]

We @clustagenomics have launched a range of at-home rapid diagnostic tests in Nigeria.

This started as a simple question: why should getting tested be so hard?
(how can we use testing to improve health seeking behaviour in a way that helps prevent ill health)

We set out to create the fastest, precise and most convenient means of testing that is both discreet and convenient, from the comfort of your home.

We also support you through the continuum of care should you test positive to any of our tests.

Fast, accurate, and regulatory approved.

Take charge of your health now!

@thsottiaux Its slow. Sometimes when I try to switch between threads, takes a few seconds to happen. Can be frustrating

[Henry Nnalue @_realhenryc]

@embirico Nice. I have struggled with this for a while. Thank you for all the good works.

[Henry Nnalue @_realhenryc]

It’s actually not that hard to deploy your own copy of unofficial WhatsApp api. Happy to walk you through and help out over a call if you need it. You can DM me.

[L @lanreadelowo]

Looking for WhatsApp APIs ( Termii alternative ) 🧎‍♂️🧎‍♂️🧎‍♂️🧎‍♂️🧎‍♂️.

What products are out there? Not Twilio

[Henry Nnalue @_realhenryc]

Very refreshing perspective. Pretty much everything being built these days miss the simplicity it should have.

THE BIG REGRESSION

My folks are in town visiting us for a couple months so we rented them a house nearby.

It’s new construction. No one has lived in it yet. It’s amped up with state of the art systems. The ones with touchscreens of various sizes, IoT appliances, and interfaces that try too hard.

And it’s terrible. What a regression.

The lights are powered by Control4. And require a demo to understand how to use the switches, understand which ones control what, and to be sure not to hit THAT ONE because it’ll turn off all the lights in the house when you didn’t mean to. Worse.

The TV is the latest Samsung which has a baffling UI just to watch CNN. My parents aren’t idiots, but definitely feel like they’re missing something obvious. They aren’t — TVs have simply gotten worse. You don’t turn them on anymore, you boot them up.

The Miele dishwasher is hidden flush with the counters. That part is fine, but here’s what isn’t: It wouldn’t even operate the first time without connecting it to an app. This meant another call to the house manager to have them install an app they didn’t know they needed either. An app to clean some peanut butter off a plate? For serious? Worse.

Thermostats... Nest would have been an upgrade, but these other propriety ones from some other company trying to be nest-like are baffling. Round touchscreens that take you into a dark labyrinth of options just to be sure it’s set at 68. Or is it 68 now? Or is that what we want it at, but it’s at 72? Wait... What? Which number is this? Worse.

The alarm system is essentially a 10” iPad bolted to the wall that has the fucking weather forecast on it. And it’s bright! I’m sure there’s a way to turn that off, but then the screen would be so barren that it would be filled with the news instead. Why can’t the alarm panel just be an alarm panel? Worse.

And the lag. Lag everywhere. Everything feels a beat or two behind. Everything. Lag is the giveaway that the system is working too hard for too little. Real-time must be the hardest problem.

Now look... I’m no luddite. But this experience is close to conversion therapy. Tech can make things better, but I simply can’t see in these cases. I’ve heard the pitches too — you can set up scenes and one button can change EVERYTHING. Not buying it. It actually feels primitive, like we haven’t figured out how to make things easy yet. That some breakthrough will eventually come when you can simply knock a switch up or down and it’ll all makes sense. But that's at least 20 years down the road.

It’s really the contrast that makes it alarming. We just got back from a vacation in Montana. Rented a house there. They did have a fancy TV — seems those can’t be avoided these days — but everything else was old school and clear. Physical up/down light switches in the right places. Appliances without the internet. Buttons with depth and physically-confirmed state change rather than surfaces that don’t obviously register your choice. More traditional round rotating Honeywell thermostats that are just clear and obvious. No tours, no instructions, no questions, no fearing you’re going to do something wrong, no wondering how something works. Useful and universally clear. That’s human, that’s modern.
