Thanks, for your comments. Generative AI (LLMs) would have a real impact if and when they have better understanding of the physical world. Most of Africa still has less digital data, but lots of data points in the physical world which unfortunately can't be analyzed yet.

This is why these technologies never get mass adoption; so many solutions duplicating themselves trying to solve the same thing. Fact is, most users would care less about numerous implementation, they need to be educated just one solution which works fine. Personally I find plus.codes from Google user-friendly. They are already integrated in Google Maps which has over 1 billion downloads. They are free and opensource which means they can be used in third-party apps. Why is someone is reinventing the wheel is beyond me.

Do people realize how game changing this laptop would be for students in developing countries like Uganda, Kenya, Nigeria? For $100 price tag on a useable laptop that you can run code or productivity apps, this is an absolute game changer. We have students at university going computer science without owning their own laptops! So this would really go a long way in bridging that divide. Kudo Pine64 team.

CLadius, by that i assume you won't be using Google Keep. Anyway it's not an assumption. Even Phil Libin, Evernote CEO acknowledges the bare fact that Google Keep will be driving fierce competition against his company -- implying that by default users are bound to plunge into using Google's product.

Hi, i like the simplicity of the app. It's great and i think you should not limit the scope to only teachers since there are many instances where message broadcasting is required. Doctors need to communicate with patients, church leaders with their congregation, companies and utility services with their customers. i think you are limiting the scope of the app.
