Experiments log
I learn by running experiments
In ventures and in my own life. Some become companies, some pause, some end. Each one teaches me something, so I keep a log.

Kora.js
- Question
- Can offline-first apps be as simple to build as web apps are with Next.js?
- Origin
- Pharmacies using my Ngoane products needed software that worked online and offline, across branches.
- Status
- In development. Tested with KoraForms and KoraDocs; powers Bozoma Learn. Case study
- Lesson
- I saw a problem people kept discussing, knew I had the power to build the answer, and took it on; with AI coding agents doing most of the coding, I’m still learning and building.

PausedFrom 2025
Pruuva
- Question
- Can evidence of understanding replace AI detection in academic integrity?
- Lesson
- Reaching the standard I had in mind needs more capable AI models, and those are expensive to run. It was a fun experiment, and I’d pick it up again with free cloud or AI credits. pruuva.com

ArchivedFrom pharmacy school
YouTube channel
- Question
- Can teaching in public help people learn, first about pharmacy, then to code?
- Status
- Pharmacy-profession videos from pharmacy school; coding tutorials from 2022.
- Lesson
- Explaining something clearly is the best test of whether I understand it. The channel passed 12,000 subscribers, and the videos stay up.

Concluded2022
Documenting my ALX software engineering journey
- Question
- Can studying in public keep me accountable and help others follow?
- Status
- Articles, videos and posts on X about what I learned, the challenges and the lessons, plus a Telegram group where I led peer-learning discussions (and Discord for a while).
- Lesson
- Studying software engineering at ALX in public changed the trajectory of my life, and sharing every lesson grew my X audience and a 1,000+ member learning community.

Digital School Academy (iKrate-Ghana)
- Question
- Can free webinars and videos give young people practical digital skills?
- Status
- Free online webinars and YouTube videos teaching digital skills, grown from the GhStudentWallet channel (created in 2018) when COVID stopped the startup. The Digital School Academy YouTube channel has more than 6,000 subscribers. I enjoy teaching, and I hope to share what I’ve learned since there when time allows.
- Lesson
- Many young people are eager to learn but lack the right guidance. A few changed the trajectory of their lives through these sessions, and that insight later shaped Bozoma Innovation Hub.

Concluded2018 to 2020
GhStudentWallet and the Startup Journey Show
- Question
- Can student entrepreneurs across Ghana get seen, and learn from each other?
- Status
- My first startup: a marketplace for student entrepreneurs to advertise products and services, plus the Startup Journey Show, interviews with student entrepreneurs, and videos on doing business in school. The site has been gone for years, but the interviews are still on the Digital School Academy YouTube channel. COVID ended the startup, and its channel became Digital School Academy.
