Ermi dev has been posting since October 2024, and its early posts include Amharic science explainers on earthquakes and NASA's SPHEREx telescope. In 2026 its space lessons moved to English, with a solar system series and rockets lined up next. Lately it reads like a build log: LISAN, an offline voice-to-voice translator for Ethiopian languages, and ወግ (Wēg), which summarizes online meetings for Ethiopian companies.

    Sky Notes in Amharic

    The channel explained science in Amharic: a sky calendar of meteor showers, seasons and a lunar eclipse, a guide to recent earthquakes with safety steps, and NASA's SPHEREx telescope mapping the sky in 102 colors. #Mondayers posts reminded readers that the week starts on Sunday afternoon, with a prep checklist.

    Sun School

    Space lessons moved to English with a solar system series on how the sun formed and what happens when it ends, plus a rockets series lined up next. The channel also introduced @erzamrbot, an AI bot about the team's rocketry journey, and shared an early build of a space science app for feedback.

    Side Quests

    The channel wrote a starter guide for people new to tech, shared an agents.md and skills.md template for agentic AI, and posted a first UI/UX design. A half-joking post about digital graveyards turned into Digital Grave Yards, a live demo of online memorials.

    Ship-tober

    LISAN, an offline voice-to-voice translator for Ethiopian languages, was trained on Google Colab and entered in a hackathon. It didn't win, but it carries on as a side project with friends. Then came ወግ (Wēg) 0.1, a Chrome extension SaaS that summarizes online meetings and YouTube podcasts for 30 birr an hour.

In their own words.

It was started as a simple project and unexpectedly got to a complex app.

If you have your own version of that product and you believe it can make an impact, you definitely have to work on it.
