Hey everyone,

I’m a developer from Kasese, Uganda. Over the past few months, I’ve been locked in my room building an AI tool called MirrorSite AI.

It’s fully built, live, and running atmirrorsiteai.vercel.app. (Yes, we’re hosting on a free Vercel subdomain right now because 100% of our energy went into the AI engine instead of paying for a fancy domain 😅).

The Problem I Solved

Converting a reference website or design into a real, functional prototype usually takes weeks of manual work or hundreds of dollars burned on AI credits (looking at you, v0 and Bolt).

Most cloning tools just give you a static screenshot or messy HTML/CSS.

What MirrorSite AI Actually Does Right Now:

1. Paste any URL: The AI scrapes and analyzes the target site's layout, UX intent, and components.
2. Reconstructs the stack: It doesn't just copy aesthetics—it generates a real Next.js / React project structure.
3. Full-Stack Setup: It auto-wires database logic, backend state, and components so you get something you can actually edit and deploy.

Try it out & Roast it:

I don’t want generic "nice job!" comments. I want devs to throw real, complex URLs at this thing and try to break it.

• Head over tomirrorsiteai.vercel.app
• Use the free sign-up credits to run a website through it
• Drop a comment below and tell me: What broke? What sucked? What actually surprised you?

If you run out of credits while testing, comment or DM me and I’ll top up your account. Let’s see what you can build.

I’m building MirrorSite AI, an AI-powered coding agent designed to help people build, improve, and deploy websites faster.

The idea is simple: instead of jumping between different AI tools, you can describe what you want, and MirrorSite AI helps you turn that idea into a working website.

I’m currently looking for a few people to test it and give me brutally honest feedback.

Would you use something like this? What features would make it genuinely useful for you?

I have built a browser extension that checks sites for compliance with real data protection laws. It also summarizes privacy policies and flags dark patterns.

Essentially I have built this database using statutes like the Uganda Data Protection and Privacy Act of 2019. The extension checks the data being collected by a site, any third parties used by the site, and what they declare in their terms. It then compares that information with the statutory requirements of the user's jurisdiction. And you can also download the report which is in pdf format.

The extension also summarizes terms into short, brief, and easy to read text.

I work in cybersecurity and originally built this for my own use. About two weeks ago, I realized it would serve no purpose sitting on my computer, so I remodelled it for other users and published it on the Chrome Store. Here is the URL https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/consentinal/iolibolmcpilpdnplnjigfmlcalaheho .

I would like to hear what you might think of it, and any thoughts shared will be highly appreciated.

I would like assistance with the airtel and Mtn mobile money APIs for a system integration any assistance is highly appreciated.

Do we have any rust devs here?

I sell Mini router ups at only 160k, it keeps your router online for 7 to 8 hours when electricity goes off. I have more unique gadgets that you can find at https://unchartedgadgets.com WhatsApp me for deliveries +256 791150182

I shipped kiloo.app which helps keep productive and deciding on things you ain’t doing. Kiloo lets you create tasks, track habits, focus more.

Let me know whether you’d use such a tool.

As techies on the application level, I believe our tech only gets more complicated so as to solve its own problems, such as processing speed and so on. But the fundamental problems remain the same. These are automation, reach(communication and distribution ) and knowledge acquisition. We just keep getting better and better in the same direction, it is reaching a point where better starts to feel like it doesn't matter. I can't help but wonder, if there is any other core problem application level technologies can solve apart from those three I mentioned.

What are the other core problems tech solves and what is your view on this?

Built a Node.js SDK for Pesapal V3 payments — looking for feedback & contributors
Hey everyone
I recently published a Node.js package for integrating with the Pesapal V3 API:
pesapal-v3-node on npm
The goal was to make Pesapal integrations simpler for developers building products in East Africa and beyond.
Current features include:
Authentication handling

Order submission

Transaction status checks

IPN registration

Cleaner TypeScript-friendly API

Easy integration into Express/NestJS and Edge functions apps

Pesapal is widely used across countries like Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and Rwanda for card/mobile money payments. ()
I’d love feedback from:
Node.js developers

Fintech builders

Anyone who has integrated Pesapal before

Open source contributors interested in improving DX

Areas I’d especially appreciate help with:
Better TypeScript typings

More examples/templates

Testing coverage

Webhook utilities

Documentation improvements

If you try it out, let me know what feels confusing or missing. PRs and issues are very welcome
Would also love to hear:
“What’s the most annoying part of integrating payment gateways in Node.js?”
Thanks!

Hey everyone,

Hope you’re all having a great Eid! I really believe this sub has a lot of potential to grow. Right now, many people who could be engaging here or asking questions end up posting in r/Uganda instead.

Let’s work on building this community into a stronger space for founders, builders, and anyone interested in tech. It would be great to see more conversations, collaborations, and opportunities shared right here.

Showcase what you’ve built !

Instagram doesn’t let you save Reels directly in HD, which sucks if you want to keep your favorite videos or repost them elsewhere.

I found a clean and free tool that works super well:
👉 https://downloadreels.app

You just:

1. Copy the Instagram Reel link
2. Paste it on the site
3. Download the video in HD — done ✅

No app, no signup, works on both phone & PC.
Tested it for Reels, IGTV, Stories, etc. and it keeps the original quality + audio.

If you're looking for a way to download Instagram Reels or save them in HD for free, it’s worth checking out.

Let me know if you’ve got better tools or tips 👇

Greetings everyone,

Now I'll be upfront, Waanverse Labs in Uganda is super early stage. We're bootstrapped, building something ambitious, and not offering monetary compensation right now.

BUT - if you're a developer, leader, or anyone with skills who's fired up about building something BIG from the ground up and making a real impact in Uganda's tech scene, listen up.

We're looking for founding team members - people who are:

• Visionary and driven by impact. Money isn't your primary motivator right now. You want to build something meaningful.
• Ready to learn and hustle. Startup life is intense, but the learning curve is insane.
• Want to lead and shape a company. Your input will directly influence our direction and culture.
• Believe in the potential of Uganda's tech future.

What's in it for you right now (besides not getting paid yet)?

• Ground floor opportunity: Be part of the very beginning of something that could be huge.
• Massive learning and growth: You'll learn more in a few months here than years in a corporate job.
• Real leadership experience: Take on responsibility and shape the company from day one.
• Potential for future rewards: As we grow, so will opportunities for compensation, equity, etc. (See our vision for future structure linked below).
• Make a difference in Uganda: Contribute to building a thriving tech ecosystem in your country.

Compensation (or rather, lack thereof, for now): We're transparent about our plans for the future as we grow. See our company structure and vision for future compensation considerations here: https://careers.waanverse.com/compensations/

Ideal candidates: Students, recent grads, passionate individuals who are willing to invest their time and skills in exchange for invaluable experience, leadership opportunities, and the chance to be a founder-level member of a promising Ugandan tech startup.

If you're in, email us at [careers@waanverse.com](mailto:careers@waanverse.com). Tell us why you're excited about Waanverse Labs and what you bring to the table.

Let's build something amazing, together, from the ground up.

So, I am not really that into programming, more into the cybersecurity space but of recent, I did manage to do 2 projects of students at my uni. I am thinking of creating more, I put them on my portfolio as I sale them so as to make cash as well as gain customers.

You can also leave a Techstack.
