What does the landscape of digital African products actually look like?
Curated directory and visualization of products built by African tech companies.
Recent Updates
Started measuring how the directory actually gets used — pageviews, product clicks, and which filters people apply. The setup avoids cookies in favor of local storage, so there's no banner to dismiss.
The site now has a proper icon — a small globe that shows up in browser tabs and bookmarks. It's also cached for offline use, so it appears even when you're disconnected.
The search box now suggests matching product names as you type, so you can find what you're looking for without finishing your query. Up to 8 suggestions appear in a dropdown — select one to jump straight to results.
Products that operate across multiple countries now appear as a single row in the directory, with small country badges showing everywhere they're available. Previously these products showed up as separate entries per country, making the list feel repetitive and harder to scan.
Product URLs in the dataset weren't being validated before being rendered as links, which left a potential script injection vector open. Added a check that only allows http and https URLs — everything else gets blocked.
