Funny thing is losing that money changed how I think about trust online

I lost ₦100k to a scam 😭 Instead of crying forever, I started building Vouch Shield. The idea was simple: fight fake links with AI. Omo security is HARD 😅 Had to pivot after realizing the bigger problem.

@HeyAnantJ I’m build an escrow

how it works section -- from a fintech website i'm working on // taking new projects for may

@eajene @Eniolorunda @moniepointng Omo this is deep 😅 I’m building an escrow product and I’m already realizing reliability is the real product.

Building reliable systems in an unreliable country is something else. That's how Tosin @Eniolorunda, co-founder & CEO of Nigeria's @MoniepointNG, describes what it actually took to build one of Africa's most consequential fintech companies. Today, the company processes over $250B annually and powers 8 in 10 in-person transactions in Africa's most populous country. No matter where you go across Nigeria — from dense urban spaces to remote rural areas — you'll run into Moniepoint's distinctively blue POS machines. But Moniepoint's secret wasn't a revolutionary product. It was reliability — in a context where reliability is anything but guaranteed: • A cable cut by a roadside excavation takes your network down — and customers blame you • A partner bank's core banking system fails — and your merchants don't get paid • An engineer's home internet goes out overnight — and a critical deployment doesn't happen "Building reliable systems in an unreliable country is something else entirely." In an environment where customers rightfully have low expectations due to widespread unreliability, businesses that simply work — consistently, dependably, when everything around them doesn't — can enjoy outsized returns. — Afridigest Intelligence — intelligence & advisory to win in Africa's growth markets: afridigest.com/intelligence | Follow Afridigest on LinkedIn & Instagram

@dramaricic I’m building content multiplier and I bought my first domain today 🥹

After two months building in public, lot can happen. My X grew: - from 0 to 2355 followers - 2.2M impressions - 1 SaaS shipped - $36 MRR and I gained lots of friends and connections here. So yeah, building in stealth mode is not advised.

@isha_singh06 Congratulations

I just got monetized on X 😭💙 Proof that posting daily + building in public works 💯 This is just the beginning… 🚀

From idea ➡️ domain ➡️ product 😭

I bought my first domain today 🥹 Omo seeing something I imagined become real is different. One small step closer to building things people actually use.

CSS can humble somebody fast

That’s Box Model wahala 😭 Content = the house Padding = your compound Border = your fence Margin = space between neighbors If you no want vawulence between elements, increase your margin abeg

Trying to solve everything at once can stop you from building anything.

My mind was everywhere when I thought about Vouch Shield 😭 fake links fake screenshots cloned sites… I wanted to solve everything at once. Then I realized that’s how people build nothing 😅 So I started with one thing: links. Because most scams start with: “Click this.”

Me after coding 8 hours nonstop 😂😂

if you’re stuck anywhere, ask me I’ll help

Someone asked me on TikTok how to set up VS Code and I remembered how confused I was when I first opened it 😅 So I decided to break it down the way I wish someone showed me. Nothing fancy just the basics that actually helped me get started. If you’re new, this will help you

I was learning CSS today and something finally clicked. Classes vs IDs. Before, I was just using them anyhow. But now I get it: Classes = for things that repeat IDs = for something unique Simple. I’ve been overcomplicating this thing 😭

Most scam links don’t even look like scams. That’s the scary part. They look normal. Nothing off. You just think “it’s fine” and click. That’s it.
