https://t.co/dcqUvnWwUM is going live soon!
Need your help: test the flow, onboarding, and keep whatever airtime you redeem. I load the wallet, you give me honest feedback. Deal? Reply below and I'll sort you out 🙏

Submitted gavr to the app stores this weekend.

Google: approved in under an hour ✅
Apple: rejected in four ❌

Apple's bar is higher and feedback fair, smidge pedantic. Does stricter review mean a more curated store, or just slower?

@GorkaCesium @bonselaapp @convex yes you do. If you don't have one then Kapso is a good direction or https://t.co/hHvxcIUUJT - also a great way to get started

Give it a bash — feedback welcome 🙏

@GorkaCesium @bonselaapp @convex Good question! Kapso is a full platform for building WhatsApp apps. Mine's a lightweight open-source component that drops WhatsApp straight into your own @convex backend, so you own the code, it's reactive, and it lives in your stack.

bonsela build update #5.
Biggest to-do checked off: airtime reloads actually work. 🔥

Pin-less, so the recipient does nothing - owner sends, we run a wallet + network check, airtime loads straight to their number. Smooth-smooth!

@bonselaapp build in public, day #3.

Error handling, session timeouts and cancel flows ✅

Demos below: an owner cancelling a flow + a natural timeout when left unattended. Convex schedules and workflows make this a dream. 💜

bonsela day #2: backend sorted and WhatsApp integrated. Can now fire off a reward over WhatsApp and notify the recipient with the message.
Demo below: left = sender, right = recipient 👇

Day #1: building in public! https://t.co/dcqUvnWwUM helps owners reward their frontline staff. 18M deskless workers in SA score well below the global average on feeling recognised at work. Lets fix it! @bonselaapp
