Wildlife rangers die each year from animal threats...
RANGA is Live Wildlife Ranger Incident Intelligence
A Gemma 4 + @cerebras multi-agent command center for poaching-risk triage.
It uses 7 agents:
Camera, Animal Detection, GPS, Weather, Poaching Risk, Alert, and Orchestrator.
Upload or capture a trail-camera image, add location context, and get a structured ranger incident report.
Live app: https://t.co/jwz0JqZ0Oc
Built for the Cerebras x Google Gemma 4 Hackathon.

We almost missed our shot at a $1M opportunity.
@Google vids AI saved us..
I had less than 1 hour to submit a pitch video.
First shorten a 6+ minute video to 2 minutes.
And then redo the voiceover too.
With terrible internet today, downloading and reuploading the file wasn't an option.
So I tried Google's new video editing platform.
Within minutes, I trimmed the video, generated a new voiceover, exported it to Drive, and we submitted the application just before the deadline.
Another reminder that :
Constraints force innovation.
When things don't go as planned, resourcefulness becomes your biggest advantage.
What do you think about Google Vids?
I run out of credits prototyping https://t.co/SCH0v3uSey what next?
Good thing @figma make can sync with #Github.
This has become the most important requirement I look out for in any vibe coding tool before I start building.
When you run out, what do you do? 😅
With your suggestions, I re-imagined new ways to :
- Create contacts with Audio & Image mode
As well as
- Find contacts with date and location filters
- Engage contacts with memories
- Drafts for uncompleted / unsaved contacts
Note that this is a prototype with simulated data. Nothing is real.

I've lost soo many potentially new contacts (clients, friends and relationships😅 ) simply because I dont remember how I saved their contacts in my phone book ..
So I am building a tech solution to solve that.
Valid? 😂
Comeon, lets upgrade the most universally distributed app in the world, yet one of the least innovated.
Next is to get some validation.
But why do I need validation for my own pain?😅
Well "The one who asks questions doesn't lose his way" 🤔
You will either get help or be motivated.
The first question is asking : Who are the ideal people who face this pain and where do they hangout?
For this case, this is a pretty general group so I asked the question where they mostly hangout.
📷My status : 70 views, a few likes, 10+ people reached out to suggest a solution / confirm that this happens to them too..
👉A whatsapp group : A few likes that started a long conversation on potential features a better app could have. As well as other existing alternatives - tho none solved the problem
📷X community : In less than 5 mins of posting I got some good nudges at the need for a better solution.
So yeah, "the desire for a better contacts app" is clear.
Now I'll brainstorm, consolidate and refine suggested features, then prototype.
I am struggling to remember someone that I saved their contact some weeks ago at a tech event. 🥲
All this could have been cut short if I simply could search by date or location in my contacts app - which then pulls all contacts I saved in that proximity or on that day.
But its 2026, why dont the contacts app on Android or Iphone allow search by date or location? 🤔
Because of that we are forced to save names in some funny patterns like [name] - [event] / [prefession] - [location] 😂
Today I saved someone's contact as "Esther - Beans Seller @ Vulganizer - Agbogba rd" 😅
Strange that we're in 2026 and I cant search by *when* or *where* I met and saved someone's contact.
Guess this is a pain worth building a solution for.
What is the weirdest way you've saved someone's contact just so you could find them later tho? 😂
#BuildInPublic
Seriously more than once this has happened where I dont remember a name or company.
I only remembered:
• Rough idea of when I met them..
• the location
• what we were talking about
I spent several minutes scrolling through hundreds of contacts.
And that made me realize something :
We save contacts by identity.
We remember contacts by context.
So why aren't contact apps built around context?
What if you could search:
"People I met last Friday or on 12/03/26"
"People I met / know in Kumasi"
"People from the 3iAfrica Conference"
I'm building a solution.
This is the idea:
A context-native contacts app that remembers the *when, where, and why* behind every connection.
Building this in public over the next few days.
