    Feira marketplace friction fixed + Discofy shop & PWA live with secure checkout tracking

    Feira — fixing the browsing experience We focused on removing small frictions that stopped users from listing or buying. Now you can browse listings without getting stuck at dead ends.

    • Honest error messages: If an email fails during sign-in, we explain exactly why immediately instead of showing a confusing screen.
    • Language consistency: Listing titles and descriptions follow the viewer's locale everywhere (cards and detail pages), preventing jarring language switches mid-browse.
    • Mobile navigation: The hamburger menu is back in place with a fixed "Missing" link removed to prevent confusion.
    • Alternative sign-in: Added a six-digit code path for users who prefer it or whose mail clients block magic links.

    Discofy — Live and Secure Discofy has officially launched its shop and PWA. Users can now purchase the app directly for €9.99 with automatic localization (en/de/pt/es/fr).

    We replaced test checkout links with our own embedded Stripe solution (sankofa-checkout). This ensures all future sales are properly tracked via session_id proofs of purchase, protecting both users and revenue data.

    Current Metrics & Status

    • Feira: 2 active user sessions recorded today as we refine the MVP experience for local markets.
    • Discofy: Shop deployment complete; tracking embedded correctly to monitor conversion funnels from day one.

    Feira gets easier to sign into — and easier to shop on a phone

    Feira gets easier to sign into — and easier to shop on a phone

    A quiet, steady day. Most of the work went into the parts of Feira that people actually touch first: getting in, and finding your way around.

    Feira — local marketplace (MVP)

    • A second way to sign in. Alongside the magic link, there's now a six-digit code path — for when a link gets swallowed by a mail client or an in-app browser and never makes it back.
    • Honest error messages. If a sign-in email fails to send, you're told so in plain language instead of staring at a dead end.
    • Listings in your language on the cards, not just the detail page. Titles now follow the viewer's locale everywhere, so browsing doesn't switch languages on you halfway through.
    • Mobile navigation. A real hamburger menu — no more sideways swiping — and the Marketplace link that was quietly missing from the header is back where it belongs.
    • In-app payments continue to come together behind the scenes, heading toward a first real checkout.

    Discofy — audio-reactive party visualizer

    Still in design and build. Nothing is on sale yet, so nothing has sold yet; the number below is a starting line, not a result.

    Where the numbers stand

    • Feira: 2 users — first steps toward a goal of 100
    • Discofy: 0 sales — goal of 500

    Both are baselines from a standing start. We'd rather publish them from day one than start counting once they look good.

    Elsewhere in the ecosystem

    Afro Village Community, the Sankofa Fundraiser, and our browser games remain live. Creator Vault, Build Your Legacy, Ghana Building Hub, Brabbeling, and the Learning Hub are all in active development. No launches to announce today — just a marketplace that's a little less frustrating to use than it was yesterday.
