1/10 🧵 As promised, I’m launching a new series auditing Kenyan tech products through the lens of product design, UX, and design systems.
First up: Aluta (aluta.ke) by @mbiti_mwondi & @remasidney, a live-streaming and event platform.
Here you go👇

How clean is this? 1-10
Playing low elo kids is fun
Dude had 3 queens, a rook, and two pawns, and the game ended in a draw 😂
I was playing white here, and this game ended in a draw 😂😂
Dude had +15 points. Massive advantage
I can guess he's cursing his life now 😂😂
A normal day in chess.
Don't celebrate too early.
The biggest hit on @engimeets has been on business ontology. Here is the answer, also my second article of the day.
Writing is fun; rewriting and editing are so difficult, can't believe it 😂

Shout out to these guys.
for bringing high-resource attention to Dholuo, Kikuyu, Kalenjin, Maasai, and Somali setting a viable foundation for 'production-grade' ASR and TTS in public
One decision I have made with @engimeets is to build it for long term.
I will persevere a little longer.

This is possibly my fave thing Venkatesh Rao has written: on how to become a good writer, and the distinction between thinking-first and writing-first writers.
I will write a few bad articles. But after that, I write really good ones.
It’s a learning process, and I love it.
Writing non-technical articles is really tough
Especially being aware that I will be hurting my SEO if I use AI
Just put out the first one. I hope to do more

I think it’s dumb fighting energy generation. What’s their argument?

Now that we have a useful product at @engimeets
Next is go hard on the SEO
Just set up the Payloadcms for articles, and should be dropping at least 4 articles per month. I will do more at the start.
Still trying to understand what my kind of audience would prefer.
Tihada just hit 100 creators 🥳
Still a lot of learning to do. And a lot of work to do to ensure we empower Kenyan creators.
This is finally a good point to integrate analytics and crashlytics.
And I might also start considering running some ads.
On money conversions, I think it’s important to know why you are looking for the fat check.
I found out, this can help you figure out your finances. Otherwise, you may end up spending the money in completely unrelated stuff.
If you want to achieve sth. Like trying to make more money to fund your masters, be clear on that. Don’t start planning on masters when the check comes in.
If you want to fund your lifestyle, be clear about it from the word go. When you start making the crazy purchases and trips, it should make sense to you.
If you want an economic cushion, be clear about it.
What I learned is how easy it is to assume you can do all these. The fact is, you can’t.
