So to begin, I used to watch TikTok and Instagram Reels, but there came a time when internet access became a problem — I didn't really have money to purchase data, and the little I got went toward coding on my laptop or watching YouTube. By the time I was exhausted and wanted to relax with TikTok or Instagram (that's where I release my stress 😁), I'd watch 2–3 videos and that was it. Out of internet.

This happened multiple times, so I decided to do something about it. I also had no interest in scrolling my gallery — most of it was videos I'd downloaded from TikTok or Instagram, but I never watched them there because I'd have to scroll past images and random stuff just to find one video.

So I built an offline reel app. Now I can watch all my downloaded videos just like I have internet — no digging through images, just pure scrolling. I loved it, shared it with people around me, got feedback, improved it — and now I think it's time you guys knew about it too. And in case you want to collaborate 😁.

I'm a female CS student in my final year. I'm very interested in software development, but I'm worried that the software market is saturated and ai isn't making it any better. I was looking for another field I could switch to when I saw somewhere that companies now are interested in those who can code with ai. Will it be wise to stick with software development, or should I witch to a different field?

Not just online hype,like i mean skills people are really using to get jobs, freelance work or remote opportunities. Ccoding, UI/UX, cybersecurity ,data analysis, content creation,clound etc . which one currently has the best opportunity locally and internationally?

Built a working prototype of a social sports betting league app — looking for a technical cofounder who’s shipped before

The idea is simple — football fans form clubs, pool money together on betting slips, compete in a league system with promotions and relegations, and share the wins and losses on a social feed. The drama is half the fun.

Starting in Ghana but honestly the model works anywhere people watch football and bet together which is everywhere.

The business model is clean. Captains collect pool money directly through their own mobile money — the app never touches any funds. KIN just tracks everything, calculates the captain’s 1% coordination fee, and manages the community. Revenue comes from subscriptions. No licensing headaches because no money ever flows through the app.

The prototype works. It’s not just a figma file or an idea — there’s a real codebase, a private GitHub repo and a demo I can show you.

What I’m looking for is someone who has actually shipped an app before. Not just built one, shipped one. Ideally you’ve worked on something social or fintech related.

If it sounds interesting just DM me

I keep seeing people online talk about remote work, but am curious what skills or platforms are realistically working for people here right now.

IT Support (L1/L2/L3) need to accept jobs that pays 3k-5k. The minimum we should be accepting for what we do should be at least 10k. We do a lot for companies so it’s always sad when I meet an IT guy whose salary is 3k. Worst I’ve heard so far is 1.5k

Hardware jobs in I.T are basically non existent but most companies have poor infrastructure.Most of them think people who are into I.T software know hardware which is rarely the case
What happens is that we see overspending and poor maintenance in some of these companies whiles there is an I.T guy there

Aside from Crypto, how do y’all send money to folks in America, London easily?

Am a network engineer myself working as an L2 IT Support earning 3k month in a company. I have tried finding remote work as network engineer but it very hard to come by. Mostly with this kind of job you have tbe physically present to manage the infrastructure and that also contribute to that. Cloud networking seem to be the only way. But to me i think companies would always need an on premise IT infrastructure. Guys link me up with networking gigs.

Could be coding, UI/UX, cybersecurity, Digital marketing, data analysis, anything. Curious what people here think actually has opportunities locally and remotely.

I’ve been thinking a lot about how social media shapes people’s perception of reality, especially from a user behavior and content perspective. Even just scrolling for a few minutes on Instagram or TikTok, you can get this strong “highlight reel” effect where it suddenly feels like everyone else is doing way better in life, more money, more travel, better relationships, perfect routines, and all that. I get that most of it is curated and the algorithm is just pushing highly engaging content, but I’m curious how people in this space see it. Is this mainly a content curation issue, an algorithm/engagement optimization side effect, or just normal human psychology being amplified? And do you think platforms actually have any incentive to reduce that kind of distorted perception, or is it more likely built into what drives engagement?

We’re building a creative workflow platform focused on how agencies and creative teams move from briefing and ideation to execution without losing context along the way.

Think collaborative canvas + task execution + living briefs in one workflow.

We’ve already built the product, refined the direction, and started getting real feedback, but it’s at the point where I need someone deeply technical who wants to help shape the company long term, not just freelance on features.

Looking for someone who:

- Cares about product and design, not just code

- Can think long-term systems and infrastructure

- Likes creative tools/workflow software

- Wants to build something ambitious

Still early, still messy, still figuring things out — but the vision is very clear.
