Who it's for

Solo builder or 2-person team targeting: (1) Nigerian/African agencies juggling multiple client projects, (2) Distributed teams across West Africa needing async collaboration without Slack/Asana subscriptions

How to build it

1. Launch a lightweight kanban board (To Do → In Progress → Done) with drag-drop tasks, assignees, and due dates — ship this in 2 weeks. 2. Add offline sync: store tasks locally, push changes when connection returns — critical for intermittent internet users. 3. Integrate Telegram or WhatsApp for notifications and task updates — most teams already live there, avoid email friction. 4. Build a simple CSV import for agencies to migrate existing spreadsheet workflows in minutes. 5. Release a mobile-responsive PWA so teams work on phone (80% of your users will); host on Vercel/Netlify for 99% uptime.

Your edge as a builder from anywhere

Nigerian teams already skip expensive SaaS subscriptions (Asana $10–30/user/mo is brutal at scale). You win by: (1) accepting Naira or mobile money (Paystack) as default, making pricing ₦5k–₦15k/team/month instead, (2) building offline-first from day one — most local competitors ignore this, (3) embedding Telegram as native comms instead of forcing another platform, (4) supporting slow 2G-3G grace
