Chapa
Go, mostly. Card-to-card, gift cards, and a webhook dispatcher that has to be right every single time. Money is unforgiving code. Nobody notices it working.

AI, Actually Useful
One email a week about AI — what I'm using, what I've worked out, and what's actually worth your time. From someone building with it, not writing about it.

Four things at once
Two jobs and two of my own. People keep asking how they connect. They connect more than they should, which is the red string.
Synheart
Teaching machines to read human state from a heartbeat. Half research, half wrestling sensors into telling the truth. The wrestling is most of it.
Anipreneur
Self-improvement ideas explained through anime characters. No face, no camera. The whole pipeline is code, which is the only reason I can run it alone.
Inlinkai
Support automation for B2B SaaS. Started as "I can build that", turned into an actual offer. Currently the most business-shaped of everything here.

Public leaderboards measure something real. It is rarely the thing you are about to use the tool for. A cheaper test: hand it three problems you have already solved.

Running several projects alone changes what a good technical decision looks like. Novelty stops being interesting and starts being a tax you pay at the worst possible moment.

And the rest of it
Smaller things. Some earn money, some earned a lesson, all of them shipped.
aiwar.dev
A bot that reads AI news so I do not have to, summarises it, and posts it. Named before I had a website.
Visit aiwar.dev →fact.et
Ethiopian news, built as an editorial system rather than a blog with a nice header. Sanity behind it, so the newsroom writes without touching code.
Visit fact.et →forbes.et
Ethiopian business, entrepreneurship and innovation. Same engine as fact.et, different masthead and a slower, longer register.
Visit forbes.et →a second brain
A wiki that documents itself. Every session writes what changed. Slightly cursed, extremely useful.
Saved Messages, out loud
I spent years sending every half-thought to Saved Messages. Thousands of messages, zero replies, very healthy. Now they go on a Telegram channel instead, four or five times a day, mostly about whatever broke that morning. The newsletter is the weekly edit of it — the part that survived the week.
