side project 2:
If you've ever worked on a telebirr integration, you know how much of a pain it is. 😮‍💨

You don't get full information from the team, the docs leave you guessing, and raw API integration eats days — key format errors, TLS failures on the test gateway, signature mismatches, sandbox errors that look like YOUR bugs but aren't.

So I built the tools I wish I had:

📖 documentation site that explains what the official docs don't.

👨‍💻 PHP — composer require melaku/telebirr
GitHub
Packagist

👩‍💻 JS/TS — npm install @melakudemeke/telebirr-js
GitHub
npmjs

One call to create a checkout, one call to verify a payment. Keys work exactly as Ethio Telecom issues them, TLS works out of the box, structured errors, retries, token caching — all handled.
