Ghanaian Developer Builds Crowdsourced Power Outage Tracker PowerPulse
PowerPulse lets Ghanaians report and confirm power outages by region, using community verification to track real restoration times. The app, built with Next.js and Supabase, includes a reputation system and live dashboard. It was created by a non-professional developer using AI assistance to address the lack of real-time outage data in Ghana.
