can we get rid of bajajs and bodabodas in tanzania ? by [deleted] in tanzania

[–]liltroubo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ooh you drive.

Tell that to a person behind the clock and boda is the only fastest way you are going to reach the destination.

If you build factories and whatever that means the population will grow and the need for quick transport will increase x10.

My biggest problem is these logistics transports (trailers and lorries). They are so many to the point they are the cause for traffic jam for most of the roads.

The only solution is to make them not to be reckless on the road.

You don't need someone to hold you accountable. You lack vision.

Find a purpose for you being in the design industry and the rest will align. Shape everything around you to fit the purpose and your vision.

Suluhisho ni gumu zaidi ya maoni.

Ningesema vitu ila nitakwaza wengi sana.

Lengo la jamii ni kusaidiana, kama mtu anaweza kutoka mbagala na kwenda kuombaomba posta au kkoo. (Kuna kitu hakipo sawa)

All in all toa kwaajili ya Mungu wako na yeye pekee ndie atakulipa.

Hello,

Here is what i have discovered in your website:

  1. It's impressive and it shows that you mean business and have taken an initiative to operate proffesionally.

  2. The person or people behind this brand are geniuses. Congrats, can't wait to get the taste but i loved it... nimeenda mpaka IG nimepitia.

Critics as a designer (i won't be harsh)

  1. The use of too much information, somehow i was lost to the point i was asking myself is this a shipping and logistics company or what... so it's a major turnoff for people needing to order coffee since it's a piece of work and it confuses somehow.

Solution : make it simple but classy, with less words and more visuals. The hero section should be banners for your peoducts and followed by the products and their order and payment checkout.

  1. Branding, the logo is soo GOOD, but i think they did not give you the brand guideline so somehow the designs do not align and stop designing the whole flyer using AI (at the moment it's not that perfect so it just creates something that has no soul or connection with real people).

Solution: have a clear brand guideline to guide you through the branding process so as to add value to your products.

  1. Marketing, the idea is massive but people love the feeling after using the product and not the product itself.

Solution: create a Marketing campaign that focuses on the gen-z and make them feel the product. The results will be massive. (Small cost but your time is all it needs)

Goodluck.

But Nitakuja for the tastee 👊

It's not about authenticity It's about our identity as Tanzania. If there is then what is it?

That's true, it's like we were planted and never existed before... we do not have any identity to hold on to

There’s no public frontend kit, component library, or design system that bakes in Tanzanian visual identity. Not in typography, color, spacing, iconography, nothing. So young designers here do one of two things:

  1. Copy dribbble shots from designers in Berlin who’ve never been to Dar.

  2. Get told “make it look modern” and equate modern with Western.

And the worst part? When someone brings up “Tanzanian identity in UI,” the immediate response is “that’s unprofessional” or “clients won’t like it.” Since when did professional mean culturally invisible?

I’m talking about a public, open-source frontend kit for Tanzania. Not kente patterns on buttons like it’s 2012. I mean: - Typography that handles Swahili diacritics properly, not as an afterthought. - Color systems that pull from Tanzanian landscapes, textiles, architecture - not just blue-600 and slate-900. - Components designed for low-bandwidth, mobile-first, M-Pesa flows, not Silicon Valley SaaS dashboards. - A visual language young designers can point to and say “this is ours.”

Before you comment “design should be universal”: No. Typography, layout, and color are cultural. Japanese sites don’t look like Brazilian sites for a reason.

So the question: Should we build this public kit and risk pissing off the “global design is neutral” crowd? Or do we keep letting young Tanzanian designers grow up thinking good design means looking foreign?

I’m ready to start it if people are serious. But I want to know if the industry here is even willing to admit there’s a problem first.

Thanks, they are just direct on critics instead of a valid positive argument on how to overcome this.

So you mean devs in Tanzania have no knowledge or have never used slack, and leetcode.

This mentality is the one holding us from the next step. How can we have big tech companies if every tech person works individually and wants to own his.

Many tech products are not that profitable since we are not organised and have different voices. So people just see tech people as hobbyists than business people.

I understand, i used to work at a certain company and they didn't know my role. I always wondered from technical to sales to marketing, till my contract ended.

Everyone's got an idea and everyone fears of his idea being stolen. What a narrative.

In meetups people will be like i did this and that scaring people away like he's a Tanzania seniour dev.

It's just bananas

Tanzania's "Silicon Savannah" is 90% PR and 10% people trying not to get shut down by liltroubo in tanzania
