አቶ Codes is a mostly-English dev channel that builds Equb Manager in public, all the way to an Agent Portal in production. Alongside it sit Xpense, a budgeting app, and TUGS, a search engine for underground Telegram channels with fewer than 1,500 subscribers. Between releases come live Q&A audio streams and one firm belief: you should be able to write whatever you ask AI to write.

    Build It Myself

    In May the channel builds tsgen, a Go CLI that scaffolds TypeScript projects, and starts a Flutter generator after finding no existing package that did the job right. Later that month the Equib app hits v1.0, and v1.2.0 goes live on May 29.

    Going Underground

    June gives Equib Manager its own update channel and a first sit-down with a client. Then the channel and a collaborator fork an open-source Telegram search engine into TUGS, collect small channels from the comments, and take it live on June 30.

    Budgets and Agents

    Xpense ships v3.0.0 in July and turns up on Made In Ethiopia as V4 by September, while ethio-receipt-parser starts adding more banks. Equib Manager is selected as a Top 3 project in August. In September its Agent Portal goes to production, with waitlisted agents getting their logins.

    Ato AI and the Jam

    October brings Ato AI, a RAG system built from the channel's own posts that now fields reader questions through SMA. Then comes a 48-hour game jam, live-posted from the build to a badly timed demo glitch and a showcase with a panel discussion.

Building now.
