Being named one of the Top 7 of the week—it's always a pleasant surprise—especially as I wasn't expecting it.

Built StacksNG for the Africa Deep Tech Challenge 2026: an offline AI coding assistant for the African fintech stack (Paystack, Flutterwave, Monnify, Termii).

Runs on an 8GB laptop, no GPU, no internet.

A DEV.to reader found 2 real bugs in it after I published my write-up. I fixed both, added regression tests, documented all of it.

Demo: youtu.be/Ab-XJ722bD8
Repo: github.com/dannwaneri/stacksng

Eh, not really a win. the database migration tool i've been working on for years, i have to rip it all apart because I'm thinking of building an offline, local, desktop app one instead because I don't like people's data going through a network just to migrate from one db to another.

I guess the win here is that i finished mapping out all the plans, what needs to be written and a newly chosen tech stack.

I also got an offer from a Malaysian bank for a senior dev position, already signed their paper and I'm joining them next month... bureaucracy! yikes!!

Congratulations on your new job! And I think you've made the right decision to switch toward building an offline app.
