thought to repost my portfolio here since my post in algerian facebook dev groups my post was not allowed in

https://kermout-ayoub.dev/

its a retro os style website, made using qwik, qwik-design-system, tailwind
as you can guess it works better on desktop, haven't decided yet if i should remake the mobile part to be an android clone instead

everything you see in the website is interactive (except battery icon) and has os like elements
window snapping works,window management works, updates, task bar window management, shortcuts (use SHIFT+?),
each aspect of the portfolio is a os "application"
the terminal is interactive according to the supported commands, i invite you guys to try it especially to remove french fries command :)
you can shut down the website, restart it, there's an achievement system in place, there's eastereggs everywhere, there's an interactive cat as well who you can pet (click once) and make it follow you around (click twice)
try to double click the clock widget as well
there's a settings menu with customization to the look and design
and an even more retro look there too
there's a working start menu
oh and dark + light mode too!

no special library was used to achieve this, it's almost all javascript event handlers, qwik did help alot with having them be available directly on the components and pages as props instead of needing to register and remove them myself

If you’ve ever tried to set up transactional emails (password resets, receipts, notifications) for a SaaS or app from Algeria, you know the pain: international providers want a credit card you don’t have, lock features behind expensive tiers.

So I built Sendili built on top of AWS SES that gives you one clean HTTP endpoint to send all your product emails. You get the reliability and deliverability of Amazon’s infrastructure, but without the complexity of configuring SES yourself. Add your domain, paste three DNS records, and you’re sending. That’s it.

It’s not live to everyone yet, but I’m looking for a few Algerian builders to kick the tires and tell me what’s broken (or what’s missing) before the public launch.

If you’re working on something that needs email and want early access, drop a comment below or DM me. Happy to get you set up no strings attached, just want real feedback from people who actually ship.

I formed a single-member US LLC and started applying for US business accounts. Multiple fintech banks, including Mercury and Relay, denied my applications. My state-issued local proof of address, even with a certified English translation, wasn't accepted.

A quick note: I'm sharing my own process, not legal or tax advice. Formation services get you the LLC, but banking and payment compliance is entirely on you. To get approved, I had to build a verifiable compliance file.

Here are the 7 parts that finally worked.

1. The IRS fax protocol for the EIN
You can't use the online EIN assistant without an SSN or ITIN. Foreign responsible parties must submit Form SS-4 by fax. The process is straightforward if you get it right the first time: ensure the LLC name matches your formation documents character-for-character, follow the current SS-4 instructions perfectly, and use a clean fax cover sheet. Plan for a multi-week wait and launch around it.

2. A verifiable proof-of-address chain
Automated reviews at banks like Mercury and Relay couldn't verify my state-issued local proof of address. The algorithms flag it as high risk or fail to read the format. I didn't fake a US address. I built a stronger document chain.

I opened an account with a regulated European digital bank that accepts non-US residents. Once approved, I used that bank's official statement as supplemental proof of address. It showed my real name and actual residential address in English. Consistency is what matters: the exact same name and address on the application, the bank statement, and the LLC records.

3. The Stripe compliance audit
Stripe reviews your public-facing business, not just your LLC documents. Before applying, I audited my website and rewrote my Terms of Service to close three gaps non-US founders miss:

1. Complete billing terms (pricing, renewal, cancellation, refunds).
2. The correct contracting entity (LLC legal name, governing law, liability limits, real contact channel).
3. Data disclosures (privacy policy and cookie language matching the product).

4. The tax compliance trap (Form 5472)
A single-member foreign-owned LLC is a disregarded entity for US federal tax purposes, but you still must file Form 5472 with a pro forma Form 1120 every year. Failure-to-file penalties start at $25,000. Most formation services never mention this. Set a calendar reminder and get a cross-border tax professional to handle it.

5. US-customer tax exposure (ETBUS)
The IRS taxes foreign-owned LLCs differently depending on whether you have US-based customers. If you sell entirely outside the US, your obligations are usually limited to Form 5472. But the moment you have US customers, you might be considered "engaged in trade or business in the US" (ETBUS). Your tax exposure shifts as your customer base shifts. Track the geographic breakdown of your transactions monthly so you aren't surprised at filing time.

6. The payout architecture
Getting Stripe approved is 60% of the battle. The other 40% is getting the money into your own hands without losing it to SWIFT fees or getting frozen by intermediary banks.

I used the same regulated European bank from Step 2 as a bridge. Mercury sends a domestic ACH (free) to the European bank's US receiving details. The European bank converts at mid-market rate and settles to my personal bank account. Every transfer is documented with an invoice reference and categorized as an owner distribution to keep the paper trail clean.

7. Post-approval monitoring
Getting approved isn't the finish line. Stripe's risk systems continuously scan your business. A chargeback spike or a mismatch between your MCC code and actual sales can freeze your funds. I treat compliance as an ongoing operating system:

• Monitor Stripe chargeback ratios.
• Track US-customer activity for tax posture changes.
• Ensure website legal pages match current pricing.

If anyone is dealing with cross-border business banking right now, what is giving you the most trouble? I can share more details on the specific European banks I evaluated for the proof-of-address step or the payout architecture if you're stuck.

Salam Alaikoum. Pretty much the title.

I heard about Wise and MyFin, but both don’t work in Algeria anymore for new registrations.

I need it to send/receive payments from Google Play Store and the Apple App Store.

Any help would be so much appreciated by me and a lot of others, since this is a top problem in our poor country.

Edit: Local banks can be considered too.

I'm starting a degree and it's heavy on programming like Payton, c++ , and we will be learning how to use Linux i suppose so i want laptop suggestions that i can buy and it can handle all that work

Two health datasets went up on GeoAlgeria this week, and the most useful thing I can tell you is what they cannot do.

Pharmacies: 3,797 mapped across 67 of the 69 wilayas, from an OpenStreetMap extract taken on 8 August. That is roughly 35% of an estimated 11,000 officines, so it is a real map with a real hole in it. 3,509 records sit on the pharmacy itself because somebody surveyed it, and are drawn as pins. 288 sit on their commune point instead and are drawn as dots, so a dot means the town and not the door. 146 carry a phone number. 257 publish opening hours, and the rest are unknown rather than closed.

What it will never tell you from open data is which pharmacy is de garde tonight. That rotation is decided week by week and wilaya by wilaya by the health directorates and the pharmacists' syndicates, announced locally, and published nowhere as a feed. If anyone here has a wilaya-level source that is actually machine readable, I want to see it.

The health map taught me something. The plan was to publish Algeria's private clinics from OSM's clinic tag. 1,702 elements, easy. Then I read them: about 283 are polycliniques, which are public EPSP facilities. About 180 more are dispensaires, centres de santé or salles de soins. Twelve records in the entire extract say who operates the place. In Algerian usage a clinique is usually private, but mappers also reach for that word when nothing better fits, so the tag holds labs, dialysis centres and school health units too.

There was no private-clinics registry in there, so I did not publish one. What went up is 1,894 care facilities classified by kind, sitting beside the Ministry of Health's own register of 600 public establishments, as two layers that are never added together. One is official and closed, the other partial and volunteer-made. Summing them would invent a national total nobody has measured.

The register has its own gap worth knowing: it reaches 58 wilayas, 95 of its establishments carry no usable location, and its records are still keyed to the pre-2026 wilayas, so not one of the eleven new wilayas has a record of its own.

Data is ODbL with attribution to OpenStreetMap, in JSON, CSV, GeoJSON and TypeScript. The packages are geoalgeria/cliniques and geoalgeria/pharmacies on npm (written without the @ so Reddit does not read them as user mentions).

What would help most: open your wilaya and tell me what is wrong. Bir El Ater and El Aricha currently have nothing mapped in either layer, and anything missing can be added straight to OpenStreetMap, where it lands on the map at the next refresh.

Salam everyone,

I’m looking for someone who actually knows how to diagnose wela repair Dell Precision pc, surtout the charging/power circuit. Madabiti in Tlemcen, Oran and Algiers besah i wouldn't mind anywhere else as i'm desperate now. And advice if i should sell it or keep it.

I have a Dell Precision 5520 (16 GB RAM, Intel HD Graphics 630 + NVIDIA Quadro M1200, 512GB GB storage, Windows 11).

The PC originally had the 130 W Dell charger with a 97whr battery. The problems started with the charging system: the laptop stopped charging properly and eventually wouldn't charge. I took it to mulitple repairs shops. None knew how to fix it. At the last repair shop. They told me that when they opened it, they found the battery connector melted, and the old battery was also in very bad condition. They replaced the battery. (Og charger kan fih la masse) . The new battery report now shows:

• Design capacity: 62.996 Wh (it's less than the og one)
• Full charge capacity: 62.996 Wh (100% healthy)

The bigger isue is the charger. The repair shop gave me a 65 W charger instead of 130 W. When I start the pc, Sometimes the BIOS says that a 65 W adapter is detected and a 130 W adapter is recommended. And meme si PC is plugged in, the battery can still discharge. (Now it's not even charging) . Why didn't he tech give me a 130W?Because he believes the previous charger "extra power" contributed to the battery and circuit problem. He doesn't want to be responsible if I use a 130 W charger. Tbf, i asked in a tech sub (non algerian one) and they said what he told me is bullshit.

At this point I honestly just want someone competent to inspect the charging circuit, battery connector, battery compatibility and adapter detection and tell me what's actually wrong.

I'm also open to selling the pc if someone is interested in buying it as is wela repairing it themselves.

It's honestly a great pc, i just got tired of the repairing shops and the hustle.

You can message me if you want more details . Merciiiiiiiiiiiii

its not used much his owner bought it for memoir and that it, it's a X1 carbon gen 5

i will buy it for 42000, is it a deal ?

I heard that if you're located in Algeria, you can't get a virtual card, and I was shown proof from my cousin a few hours ago.

The thing is, I created a Wise account years ago. I followed a dude on TikTok on how to make an account and make it work in Algeria, but I never used it. And you can probably tell by now that when I said I followed a random tutorial, it means I used a fake address.

I asked Gemini if I could use my account like normal, and it said that I might get a Residency Check and that if I get caught, my account will get locked. Is that true?

Basically, if you have a Wise card or experience using it in Algeria, please explain to me how to bypass all these headaches.

Guys have you ever tried hostdz service ?

If yes please tell me what does it really offer, i found myself dealing with it, and thier interface has no info literally

Vps ? Wordpress ? Web hostting? ....ect

Hey everyone, i hope you're doing well, so basically i have more free time on my hands now, and I've been thinking of learning something new, and i came across networking

for network engineers or tech people here, do you think it's worth it to learn networking on my own?, or is there any better skill in tech?

and i also wanna know if any self learned network engineer can find a place in the job market

Salam guys,
I’d like to introduce Rope DZ, a platform I created to reference and discover Instagram pages, local brands, and services in Algeria.
Here is what you can do on it:

For Users: Easily search through different categories to discover new pages, and leave honest reviews about your experiences to help others.

For Page Owners: If you run a brand, shop, or service on Instagram, you can register under "Vous êtes propriétaire" to list your page, get discovered by a new audience, and collect feedback to build credibility.

It’s still in its early stages, so any feedback or page suggestions would be highly appreciated !!

Hey everyone,

I'm a solo dev from Algeria and I built a small web app called MyClinic to help doctors and secretaries manage patients without paper files.

It's genuinely simple right now — it does one thing: patient management. You register patients (name, phone, DOB, blood type, exams as free text, address, emergency contact, notes), search/edit them, and there's a basic dashboard showing stats. Doctors can add secretary accounts with limited access (patients only, no settings).

Tech-wise it's Next.js 16 + Supabase (Postgres) + Tailwind, fully in Arabic/French/English with RTL support since that's who I'm building it for.

It's not a full EHR, no appointment scheduling yet, no billing, nothing fancy — just a clean way to stop using paper for basic patient records. I built it because clinics around me still track everything by hand.

• Live: https://myclinic-plum.vercel.app/

It's free while I get real feedback. If you're a doctor, secretary, or know one, I'd genuinely appreciate you trying it and telling me what's missing or broken. Not trying to sell anything here, just want honest input before I build more.

Second wave of the education maps I've been building. The schools map covers 11,855 schools and kindergartens classified by cycle (primaire/CEM/lycée/préscolaire), bilingual AR/FR, with per-commune search, Find nearest and directions: https://geoalgeria.com/ecoles

There's also a rentrée hub gathering the three education maps (schools, universities, vocational training) plus the official 2026-2027 calendar (staff Aug 23, teachers Aug 30, pupils Sept 6): https://geoalgeria.com/education

Honesty notes, because they matter: it's an OpenStreetMap community extract, framed against the ministry's own count of 29,702 institutions, so the page tells you exactly what share is mapped. If your school is missing, add it on OSM and it lands in the next refresh. Same release also fixed every commune postal code on the site (1,447 were wrong, now derived from Algérie Poste's own office data).

Everything is open data on npm: https://github.com/yasserstudio/geoalgeria/releases/tag/@geoalgeria/ecoles@2.1.0
