🌍 Introducing Trusta — now officially Open Source 🚀
Trusta is a platform designed to help facilitate secure trade over long distances, making it easier for buyers, sellers, suppliers, and businesses to transact with more confidence — even across cities, countries, and borders.
In many parts of the world, long-distance trade still struggles with issues like:
❌ Lack of trust
❌ Verification problems
❌ Delivery uncertainty
❌ Poor communication between parties
❌ Limited access to reliable trade infrastructure
Trusta was built to help solve that.
✨ What Trusta aims to provide:
• Trust-based trade facilitation
• Transparent transaction workflows
• Better buyer & seller coordination
• Scalable infrastructure for commerce
• Modern, accessible trade tools
• A foundation for cross-border digital trade
And now…
🔓 Trusta is Open Source.
Why open source?
Because trade infrastructure should be collaborative, transparent, and accessible to innovators everywhere.
This opens the door for:
🤝 Developers to contribute
🏢 Businesses to customize workflows
🌍 Communities to adapt it for local markets
⚡ Faster innovation through collaboration
I’m excited to keep building Trusta in public and connect with:
• Open-source contributors
• Logistics & commerce innovators
• African tech builders
• Businesses interested in digital trade systems
The future of trade is connected, transparent, and global. 🚀
I've built a new mobile AI assistant that brings chat, text and image generation, voice input and document analysis into one app.
It have Smart Chat, Text Creator, Image Create, Voice Input, plus PDF Scanner, Photo Analyze, Social Content and Prompt Ideas, filtered by category.
Almost everything AI can do, just in one place.
Dan Holdsworth and Luke Allen ship brands as a code ready repo.
The handoff includes global CSS, a clip JSON file, an agent file, and a human-readable README. Clients drag and drop it into their codebase and the brand is operable from day one.
They started doing this because clients kept improvising after handoff. A PDF gets opened once and forgotten. A repo stays in the codebase as a source of truth.
The thinking matters. The handoff is the start of the brand's life in production. If the system breaks the first time someone extends it, the design work didn't finish.
They also talked about taking only two projects at a time, catching a logo that sat too close to a Pinterest reference and redoing it the same day, and the difference between cheap and affordable when you raise prices.
AI is an analytical tool it doesn't have tast or creative intelligence or emotional intelligence it will never be better than humans in that because it has no emotions or creativity

Meet Sam. He runs a highly requested mobile pet grooming van in Denver, but standard booking calendars are quietly killing his margins. Because generic apps let customers pick any time slot they want, Sam spends two to three hours a day zig-zagging across the city in traffic, burning fuel and losing out on actual appointments just to accommodate a messy schedule.
To fix this, I built Paws & Puddle, a web app that solves his geographic routing nightmare before a booking ever hits the calendar. Instead of a basic form, I engineered a zero-click geo-gate. It automatically fetches a user's zip code via location services and dynamically filters the calendar to only show availability for the specific days Sam’s van is already assigned to their neighborhood.
Because forced logins instantly kill conversion rates, I designed a completely frictionless guest checkout. But to ensure long-term retention, the Thank You page features a "Guest-to-Auth" funnel that seamlessly converts their inputted data into an account post-booking, simply by asking the user to "set a password to track your van's ETA."
Backed by a full operator console where Sam can manage custom service zones, assign route days, and trigger automated status emails, this build proves that premium, minimalist design and aggressive problem-solving belong in the exact same app.
