Who it's for

Solo developer or 2-person team building a consumer app; sells to young professionals in Lagos, Accra, Nairobi earning in local currency or USD, who want to learn but have no time.

How to build it
1. Pick one underserved niche (e.g., Yoruba business wisdom, African startup playbooks, or skill-stacking for remote work) and hand-write or commission 50–100 summaries as founding content. 2. Build a simple web + mobile (PWA or React Native) app: login, feed of summaries (text + optional audio), bookmarks, progress tracking. Use Firebase for backend, Stripe + Flutterwave for payments. 3. Launch free tier (3 summaries/mo) + paid tier (unlimited + audio, ₦5k–₦8k/mo or $10–15 USD). Gate the best content behind paywall. 4. Grow via WhatsApp referral links, TikTok clips of summary highlights, and partnerships with Lagos-based LinkedIn coaches and remote-work communities. 5. Expand to corporate licensing (HR teams buy team subscriptions at ₦50k–₦100k/mo) once you hit 5k+ active users.
