| Repo | What it does |
|---|---|
| docent | Directions as a short animated route in one link, built for Kenyan phones and data. Next.js, Supabase. Try it |
| tafsiri | Chrome extension: live meeting translation that runs on your own computer with Chrome's built-in AI. Install it |
| apply-desk | Pick a cohort fairly: blind review, even reviewer workloads, conflicts handed on, harsh and lenient reviewers evened out, ranked shortlist. Neon, Vercel. Try it |
| ask-the-room | Live Q&A for panels: questions from phones, upvotes, moderation and a projector view; 300 phones cost one database read every 2 seconds. Neon, Vercel. Try it |
| mpesa-match | Paste an M-Pesa statement and a member list: who paid, who paid part, who owes, and money from strangers. Runs in the browser. Try it |
| mentor-hours | Office hours for hubs and cohorts: mentors open slots, founders book with one link, Postgres makes double booking impossible. Neon, Vercel. Try it |
| campaign-links | A short link per channel, so you know if WhatsApp, LinkedIn or the posters brought the applicants. Link previews counted apart. Neon, Vercel. Try it |
| event-feedback | One QR on the last slide, 30-second answers, live Net Promoter Score before people leave. Neon, Vercel. Try it |
| judging-desk | Fair scoring for hackathons and competitions: cancels out harsh and lenient judges, flags gaps and conflicts. Try it |

| cohort-pulse | Drop in a cohort CSV and see who needs a nudge, with a WhatsApp draft for each. Try it |

today's side quest: Write a post instead of a draft
- I run alumni relations at AfricaHackon and the socials at Hackhouse Africa.
- I'm product manager at Teckid, an online coding school for kids.
- At ALX I supported more than 2,000 learners and walked one cohort of 160+ all the way to graduation.
- I was the main contact for 70+ founders in the first Startup Garage Africa cohort.
- I'm a Canva Canvassador.
- Building client systems that keep working when I'm not in the room.
- Getting Tafsiri onto the Chrome Web Store.
- Writing more about what it takes to build for programmes and communities here.
- Push code 100 days in a row. The counter above keeps me honest.
- Ship one small, silly project a month, for no reason at all.
- Build something in a language I've never written.
- Get a stranger to star one of my repos.
- Learn psychology properly, then build something with it.
- Get outside more. Weekly, not "when things calm down".
Running a programme, a community or a startup that needs something to work properly?
