Share what you’re currently working on big or small.

It could be:

Tell us:

Let’s support each other, share ideas, and keep building Zimbabwean tech 🇿🇼

Beginners are welcome too even if you’re just learning HTML or Python.

Just shipped City View Guest House to their own domain cityviewguesthouse.co.zw

What's live:

WhatsApp booking inquiry generator (guests pick dates, auto-compile message)

Room pages with pricing, amenities, dimensions

Solar/borehole infrastructure showcase (big selling point in Zim)

Location proximity map (CBD 10 min, airport 15 min)

FAQ accordion, testimonials, contact form

Mobile-optimized, tap-to-call, tap-to-WhatsApp

Stack: React, Next.js, Vercel, custom domain, CMS for client self-management

The challenge: Most Zimbabwean SMEs still think a website is a luxury. I'm trying to prove it's a revenue tool City View now takes direct bookings instead of losing 15% to Booking.com.

Fellow devs: How do you educate clients that a website isn't an expense, it's infrastructure?

Also anyone working on something similar? Would love to trade notes.
