Clearcron Upgrade
One of the tools we use to manage our services is clearcron. As the name suggests its a cron manager that manages all of our automated / scheduled tasks. It needed a bit of an overhaul today as the amount of logs in the database was beginning to slow it down. Now all the logging is running from dynamo db and the end result is that it is super quick.
Also had a bit of a redesign too.
We Built 5 Classic Games in a Day. Here is Why That Matters.
Tetris, Snake, Sudoku, Space Invaders, Pac-Man. Each built in under 2 hours with React and AI-augmented development. Not templates. Full implementations with mobile controls, offline play, and persistent high scores. The games aren't the point. The speed is. When you can prototype in hours instead of days, everything changes.

WhatsApp Automations
Sometimes you can use existing apps and very popular ones to get what you want to achieve. This is for an app we are building for EchoSoul (affirmations to your phone) as well as an Android and iOS app we have deeply integrated with WhatsApp where we have a whole list of commands you can send which syncs with what you do on WhatsApp with the mobile app. It works well. The app is in internal testing now so will be due to stores in a couple of weeks.
View MoreAPI Design
A new project. Designed the backend for a tennis club app. Members can book courts, sign up for lessons, and manage family subscriptions, all from their phone. We have built secure login that works across multiple devices. Payment system handles card payments, bank transfers, and cash with automatic mismatch detection. Family accounts let one member manage and pay for the whole household. The system auto-calculates bundled pricing and early-bird discounts. For the techies out there we built a Laravel API with JWT auth and multi-device tracking (device bans, token refresh). Versioned architecture: 12 controllers, 40+ endpoints under /api/v1/ with consistent { success, message, data } responses. Next week we will be looking at the UI.
View MoreAudio Notes Integration
As we really start to pile in the features into LekeeLekee we have no started the introduction of voice notes, these are publicised comments against a post in voice. Lots of considerations here the most important being compliance and copyright. We dont want people to say anything derogatory or indeed share Taylor Swifts latest release. It works well, in React and React native, all served over a Cloudfront CDN.

Write SQL with human language
For years, accessing data meant either learning SQL or waiting on engineers. AI changes that. You can now ask plain-English questions like “Show customers who signed up last month” and get the correct SQL instantly. This means faster answers, fewer bottlenecks, and better use of engineering time. Teams get accurate queries in seconds, learn SQL naturally by seeing results, and stay independent for everyday data needs. It’s not about replacing experts — it’s about freeing them up. The future of data isn’t writing better queries. It’s asking better questions.
View MoreWork Tracker
We have built a desktop app that automatically monitors our desktop activity - tracking which apps and windows we use, capturing keystrokes, and taking periodic screenshots. It auto-detects clients based on pattern matching (URLs, project names) so time/tasks is automatically tagged to the right client. View daily activity breakdowns, time spent per client, and generate social media copy from your work sessions. All data stays local on your machine. version 1.0 is done and works perfectly and allows us to update our clients in realtime about what we are working on. The Stack Framework -Electron (cross-platform desktop app) Frontend -React + TypeScript + Tailwind CSS Backend -Node.js (Electron main process) Database -SQLite (local, via better-sqlite3) AI -Claude API (for activity categorization) Build -Vite + electron-builder
View Morev1.0 LekeeLekee
We have had a busy couple of months on the version 1.0 of our African Social media platform. As Christmas approaches, we are now finessing the UI, the little tweaks that make the product pop, small animations, transitions that will make the app pop. Lots and lots going on with the backend side of things for this project too which has certainly pushed us.
View MoreGDPR
Yesterday with a client we were talking about GDPR. What sounds simple on paper quickly becomes retention rules, audit trails and background jobs built purely for compliance. The real cost isn’t fines, it’s engineering time diverted from building better products.
View MoreYes, this QR Code is being tracked.
Thanks for scanning the code. You just clicked the QR on the car and landed on our live werkilo feed. We are recording scans to see if these codes ever get used and to learn what works in the real world. We built the tech behind this and the platform you are viewing it on to show real work as it happens not polished case studies. The same tools workflows and thinking we use here are available to you too.
