Who it's for

Solo developer or 2-person team building for African homeowners tired of dead spots and throttled internet.

How to build it

1. Start with a mobile app (iOS/Android) that scans local networks and surfaces real signal maps, dead zones, and device congestion—no hardware required. 2. Pair it with a simple web dashboard for power users to manage QoS, guest networks, and bandwidth throttling across their home. 3. Build a local network diagnostics engine that identifies why speeds drop (interference, distance, channel saturation) and suggests fixes. 4. Add a marketplace: sell premium configs (gaming profiles, streaming, work-from-home), device compatibility guides, and ISP troubleshooting templates. 5. Launch freemium: free scan + basic reports; paid tier unlocks remote monitoring, historical data, and AI-driven optimization alerts.

Your edge as a builder from anywhere

Most African homes have weak Wi-Fi but can't upgrade hardware or change ISPs. A software-only tool that diagnoses and optimizes existing routers (even cheap ones) solves a real pain point. No inventory, no hardware partnerships needed. Charge in Naira but price to USD parity—willingness to pay is high among remote workers and small businesses.
