At the start of 2025, I made a bold resolution—to ship one tool or product every month. This wasn’t just about pushing code or launching MVPs. It was a commitment to consistency, creativity, and contribution. Each month has brought its own unique challenge and triumph. In January, I kicked things off with Nenopress. February saw the birth of Startuplist Africa. March welcomed Namekon. Now, let’s talk about April—arguably one of my most fulfilling months yet.

April: Launching InterviewPrep

April’s crown jewel was InterviewPrep (interviewprep.elidayjuma.com), a tool I built to help job seekers prepare for their interviews. Job hunting can be an emotional rollercoaster—especially when you’re unsure of what kind of questions you might face. InterviewPrep changes that. You simply input a job description or job advert, pick the technical level based on your industry, and voilà—it generates world-class interview questions to help you ace that conversation.

It’s simple. It’s powerful. And it’s completely free. I believe in democratizing access to opportunity, and InterviewPrep is one way of leveling the playing field. If you’ve used it already, I truly appreciate your support. If not, I encourage you to try it out and send me your feedback. It helps make the tool better for the next person.

Startuplist Africa: Gaining Momentum

Startuplist Africa has been buzzing. New listings are rolling in, and we’re slowly becoming the go-to directory for startups in Africa. This month was also big for SEO. After deliberate optimization efforts, Startuplist Africa is now ranking for over 500 keywords. That’s organic traction. If you’re building something cool in the African ecosystem, join us. Get listed and be part of the fastest-growing directory of startups on the continent.

Namekon: Still Cooking

April was a bit quiet on the Namekon front. But that doesn’t mean the journey stopped. The plan for May is to double down on building quality backlinks, increase visibility, and respond to user feedback. If you’re launching something soon, try Namekon. It helps you brainstorm brandable names while checking domain availability. It’s a small tool with a big punch. Check it out at namekon.elidayjuma.com.

Nenopress: Growing Steadily

Nenopress was the first product I launched this year, and it’s steadily evolving into a full-blown SaaS product. Think of it as your AI-powered social media manager. You can schedule posts, generate AI content, and push to platforms like WordPress, X (formerly Twitter), and LinkedIn. This month, we’ve added even more functionality. Nenopress also has its own domain now—nenopress.com—though it’s still served via nenopress.elidayjuma.com. If you haven’t tried it yet, give it a go.

Staying Active, Staying Disciplined

April wasn’t just about tools. I also stayed physically active—taking long walks and managing to run at least once a week. Granted, I missed my goal of 3 runs/week, but I more than made up for it with all the walking. So much so that my knee started aching. But it’s all worth it.

One major milestone: I’m still going strong with zero processed sugar. Not even a single spoon. It’s incredible how easy it becomes once you commit. Sugar quickly becomes a non-issue. Your body—and mind—adapts.

Coaching and Constant Growth

My coaching services are getting sharper by the week. I’m continuously adding new tools and resources to better support founders and operators. Whether it’s helping with market research, product strategy, or legal structure—I’m evolving this offering as I go. If you’re building a startup, let’s talk. I’m always open to discovery calls.

Trees Still Growing 🌱

Quick update on the trees: the 1,500 trees I planted in March are thriving. Healthy, green, and growing strong. This project means a lot to me—not just for the environment, but as a long-term impact investment in the planet.

May Goals

May is another month to build. Another product is coming. I’ll be doubling down on visibility for InterviewPrep and Namekon, shipping new features in Nenopress, and staying consistent in health and habit. The vision remains clear: 12 months. 12 tools. Endless learning. Thanks for being part of this journey. Whether you’ve used one of the tools, sent feedback, or just followed from afar—your support matters.
