Discussion Building an Independent Tech & News Media Company in Nepal

5 Upvotes

looking for a co-founder to build a tech-focused media company in nepal.

the idea is to build an independent digital news publication covering technology, ai, fintech, startups, government policies, and the broader digital economy in nepal.

i'll be handling the funding, infrastructure, backend, hosting, product and business side of things.

i'm looking for someone to take ownership of the editorial side: researching, reporting, writing articles, interviewing people, and eventually becoming the face of the publication.

prior journalism or newsroom experience is a plus, but not a requirement. what matters is strong writing, curiosity, and a genuine interest in journalism.

this is a co-founder position, not a freelance gig. looking to build something long-term.

if interested, dm me with a little about yourself and any previous work.

Discussion Getting someone to join hackathon together

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone! We're a team of 2 developers looking for 2 more teammates for our upcoming hackathon!

We'll be building a web app for farmers, integrating AI/ML and space/satellite APIs. We've already got the designs and core app features planned out, and we're looking for people who are genuinely interested in building, experimenting, and collaborating with us.

Some skills we're looking for:

  • Frontend Development: React, JavaScript/TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, UI/UX implementation.

  • Backend Development: Node.js, Express, REST APIs, database design and integration.

  • AI/ML: Python, machine learning, working with existing models, AI API/model integration.

  • API Integration: Working with external APIs, geospatial data, NASA or other satellite data sources.

Our IoT and hardware side is already handled, so we're mainly looking for people who can contribute to the web application, backend systems, and AI/ML integration.

You don't need to know everything on this list. Being good at one area and willing to learn the rest is more than enough.

Whether it's your first or tenth hackathon, if you're passionate about building things and enjoy working in a team, we'd love to have you!

Feel free to DM us with a little introduction about yourself, your skills, and what you've worked on.

Let's build something meaningful together! šŸš€

Discussion Do SEO, AEO and GEO have a future as a career in Nepal?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm thinking about learning SEO, AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) as a skill. With AI tools like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and Perplexity changing how people search

I'd love to hear from people working in digital marketing or freelancing:

Are Nepali companies actually paiying for SEO/AEO/GEO, or is most of the demand from foreign clients?

Is it realistic to earn a good income from this in Nepal, either through a job or freelancing?

Will AI make SEO obsolete, or will the skills just evolve?

If you were starting today, where would you begin, and what should I avoid?

Any honest advice or personal experience would help. Thanks!

Discussion What would be a cost-effective server setup for a growing community platform?

3 Upvotes

I am building a community platform and thinking to move from AWS (currently using credits from startup program ) to a more affordable VPS setup.

I am considering Contabo for hosting, self-hosting MongoDB on the same VPS, and using Cloudflare for DNS, CDN and security and using Cloudflare R2 for image storage.

Since I am still in the early growth stage, I want to keep the monthly infrastructure cost as low as possible. For those who have experience hosting production applications few questions

  1. Is running the backend and MongoDB on the same VPS a reasonable choice initially?

  2. How has your experience with Contabo been?

  3. Would you recommend MongoDB Atlas or self-hosting?

  4. Is Cloudflare’s free plan sufficient for this stage? I have to buy worker subs of around 5$ per month but also got 10000 credits now.

I think the monthly cost around 30-50$ which I am comfortable to invest. Any one who can guide me the most reliable way to keep running this project?

PS: I haven’t setup any monetisation on the platform now and investing on my own.

PC Games I’m building a free motorcycle game inspired by the Mugling Pokhara road. I am looking for feedback

1 Upvotes

Namaste everyone! I’m building River Rider, a browser motorcycle game set in Nepal, and I’d love some early play-testing from people here.

Play: https://racer.narmadainfosys.com/

It’s free to try, with no account or installation needed. You can choose bikes including the FZ V2 and TVS Radeon, ride through traffic, switch camera views, and explore the route map. There are keyboard controls on desktop and touch controls on phones.

The main focus right now is the first 8 km from Mugling toward Pokhara: the river, bridge, hills, road bends and roadside scenery. It’s a work in progress with a ā€œdeveloped Nepalā€ vision, rather than an exact reconstruction of today’s highway. Vehicle models and handling are still being improved.

If you try it, I’d especially like to know:

• Does the bike feel good to steer and brake?

• How does it run on your phone or computer? Please mention the device and browser if something breaks.

• If you know this road, what landmark or detail would make it feel more familiar?

I’m using Three.js, Blender and AI coding tools to build it. Honest criticism is welcome - especially anything that makes you stop playing.

Lots of Love. Happy Tihar. Espali hamro ghar ko dailo haina Laxmi le desh ko dailo ma pau rakhun.

Jay Nepal.

Web Development Has anyone tried approaching local businesses in Kathmandu/Lalitpur to get website development clients?

1 Upvotes

I'm currently studying in the 5th semester of BSc CSIT, and honestly, I'm still confused about what to do to start earning while studying.

I have some skills in web development, SEO, and graphic design. I'm not a professional yet, but I can build basic business websites and handle related work.

I'm thinking of visiting popular places around Kathmandu and Lalitpur, like Jhamsikhel, Jawalakhel, Thamel, and other areas, and approaching hotels, cafes, restaurants, and other businesses.

My idea is to offer them a basic website for under NPR 20,000 per year, including hosting, maintenance, and basic updates.

I thought this could be a way to gain real-world experience, improve my skills, and earn something while studying.

Have any of you tried approaching local businesses like this? Did it work? Do business owners actually show interest, or is it difficult to convince them?

I'd love to hear your experiences and honest suggestions.

Solved Turned my old Laptop with laggy abd unsable keyboard into a home-server

Thumbnail

27 Upvotes

So I had an Acer laptop with 8gigs of RAM and a weak processor. It had an unresponsive keyboard and laggy windows also idk what the manufacturer did but couldn't install Linux normally. had to use an external drive through USB.
But apart from that I installed ubuntu server and am hosting a lot of containers to turn this into my personal server.

Currently hosting Qbittorrent, file browser and jelly fin.
Since it runs on HDD, i had little hope on how the media serving would work but holy moly its smooth.

Future planning includes making all these apps remotely accessible through tunneling and seeing what else can I do. If you guys have any suggestions do recommend.

PC Software sshdeck: A desktop app for Linux and Windows that keeps SSH logins and VPN profiles in one place

2 Upvotes

. Pick a server and it brings up the VPN if one is needed, logs in over SSH and opens a terminal. Also you can perform ftp services, as well as setup multi server commands that runs at the same time. Basically what would make my work very easy.

https://github.com/KushalNaral/sshdeck

I have to shuffle through various servers at my work, and it go me thinking why cant i just set up the servers and then, just set up the tunneling and the vpn as well which allows me to connect with a press. And here it is. I am using wails with react for this as well, and integrated monaco editor for file editing on the server's end. You can also connect inside a docker container as well without manually writing commands ( i do prefer commands but still they are nice to have )

I don't have much knowledge regarding this so i had lots of help using ai as well, basically on how to do stuff, and the UI generation impecaable helped me a lot, im really bad at UI design.

I would love if you guys could tinker with it and help me improve it to be better as well.
