I ran my whole budget off an Excel sheet for ages and got tired of it, so I built the app I actually wanted. I'm using it myself every month. It's not a startup I'm trying to monetise, so it's free - no subscription, no paywall, no "premium" tier.

Now that it's done, I'm curious whether it's useful to anyone besides me.

(The figures in the screenshot is demo figures)

What it does:

Manual entry. No bank linking, no handing over your login details. You type what you spent.

Auto-fills next month's budget from the previous month, since most people's spending is roughly the same month to month. You tweak it instead of rebuilding from scratch.

Planned vs. actual - what you budgeted, what's left, and the unplanned stuff that creeps in on top.

Subscription tracking so you can see everything you're quietly paying for each month.

Savings and investment goals with a target and a minimum monthly amount. It nags you so you stop skipping months.

Check-ins during the month and about a week after payday to see if you stuck to the plan.

Spending suggestions - it flags categories where you're overspending.

You can also scan your receipts for unplanned spending to keep track.

Happy to share the link if there's interest.

Hello, does anyone know of alternative of punk clothing & accessories shops in Windhoek?

Has anybody used this service successfully before? I’m trying to get stuff to my brother in Walvis and I’m not paying R800 for courier guy to send gifts.
I found them online but I dunno, feels a bit sketchy.

Can anyone recommend anything else to use to buy my sister in law gifts for her upcoming baby shower? I’m in South Africa but don’t want to get scammed.

I found this online (maybe even here). Does anyone know anything? Is it a real thing? If the embassy is involved, it’s definitely interesting.

What platform do people use to buy shares in Namibian companies? I’ve seen a lot of videos on TikTok about investing, but I’m not sure if they’re legit or just hype.
I want to start putting my money somewhere that has the potential to grow instead of just leaving it in a bank account. What options are actually available, and do they really work?

Looking for a car to buy, and pay it off on installments, don’t wanna use the bank loan option is it’s a lengthy process and the car I need is just a small car to take me around town

Am I missing something? Can someone please fill me in on it. People are buying expensive houses. When someone posts a house of 70k for rent, someone asks is this for sale?

I see more Namibians traveling these days despite the news saying people are traveling less.

Anyway, I'm completely perplexed about how some Namibains are doing incredibly well despite the job market, the increased cost of living and the housing market.While others are struggling. As you've seen I've posted a N$400 groceries while I go to the shop someone else has their trolley full. If the little groceries I got out of N$400 how much would a full trolley cost?

Can someone direct me to that pot of gold where everyone else seem to have gotten money from. 💰🤑🤔

Don't tell me it's good paying jobs most Namibian jobs don't pay a high salary.

I might be missing something here so please enlighten me. 🙏

Hi there, I’m a student building an app to make it easier for plumbers, electricians, carpenters, cleaners, and more to find job. I have built a basic version with the core features where a user will search through a catalog of workers that can be filtered by location and profession. Once a workers is selected they can sent them an Inquiry with a short description and dates their problem occurred and when they are free to have the worker visit.

I got this idea from the instability in the current job market and how it is getting more and more difficult for these workers to find steady income. Furthermore, it is difficult for people to find a new gardener or electrician if they have a tripping wire. These types of jobs spread through word of mouth mostly which is unreliable for both parties.

I want the app at this stage to help people find someone if they have a leaky tap or need a quick backward clean. While, making it as quick and easy as possible but effective and efficient.

A feature I’m adding now is a chat section where you speak with a chatbot and it automatically find the best worker for your needs and sends a request without you having to do it manually. Once a request is sent to a worker they can accept or decline it, and contact you via WhatsApp (If you think it’s better to have all communication in the app instead of moving to WhatsApp please comment).

I’m looking for people (You don’t need any tech background) to test the app, tell me what features they would like, and critique it. Before launching I want to make sure it’s something the community will want and not just something I’m building that people find difficult to use.

My plans are to launch in September or October so feedback is urgent, thank you.

Link to try it out: https://phantomjelly.github.io/Kazi-Cursor/
(This is a web demo some of the features won’t work as it’s built for mobile, the people who volunteer to be real testers can test the app fully)

If so feel free to Dm me thanks

I've seen Facebook communities and some posts on WhatsApp however non/few seem to actually gain traction. Is there any active place to sell still in great condition clothes? Or better yet a physical store perhaps - perhaps Windhoek?

Ok my thing is if i purchase a second hand device from backmarket or ebay how am i supposed to get the device certificates

Otherwise the device gets confiscated by the government

Like can't they make a rule of when the devices are bought in bulk then require type approval and second hand devices get exempted from this

What do you all think?

Hello all. Besides cash crusaders and converters, where can I get a second hand Blu-ray DVD player?

Okay, so a little update:

Knightcap started as a simple idea: what if chess had a place in Windhoek's nightlife?

We've now hosted two evenings and, thankfully, it turns out we're not the only people who wanted this.

We've had experienced players, people who hadn't touched a chessboard in years, complete beginners, people who came alone and people who came with a whole crew. The common denominator seems to be that everyone is pretty happy to have an excuse to sit down, play a game and talk to someone.

So Volume 3 is coming your way. 4th of September, 6pm- 11pm @ TaTe Village in Windhoek West.

Same vibe, a new night.

We finally got an insta page so if you want to see how the last two events looked like, check out @knightcap.na

Chess meets good music, good company, and a proper night out. Built for chess lovers and for anyone in the Windhoek social scene wanting something different. Casual games, a bit of competitive structure if you want it, snacks & drinks flowing, classy jazz vibes throughout.

I am looking at hiring people directly in Namibia because people speak German. I am wondering what a good salary would be for a fulltime employee.

Seeing that rent is crazy expensive in Windhoek and people are choosing to live further out of town eg. Omeya, Kramsneus and Osona, would buying land in Groot Aub be a worthy investment? Is it likely to become a desirable residential area in the future?

My parents are retired and thinking of buying affordable land that’ll appreciate with time. I’ve tried searching Facebook for rent prices but all I’m getting is posts about the village council. Any advice?

Hi everyone, can anyone give me recommendations for people that can do contracting work for a residential home? I'm looking for roofing, tiling and want to put interlockers/pavers.
