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.

Introducing Lockd-in

Lockd In is a minimalist productivity web application built to help users manage their time and maintain deep focus.

Built Lockd-in when I was stressing for exit exam & design work overloads back in uni.

After weeks of beta testing, Lockd-in is officially live 🎉🎉🎉

Thanks to everyone that gave me feedbacks, almost all feedbacks have been reviewed & edited into this version 🙏

Features:
🔥 Streaks
📸 Focus Cards
⏳ Pop Out (PiP) Timer
↗️ Session logs & Productivity Chart

All local, no login or sign up needed

If you've been meaning to build something but keep burning out halfway through, this is definitely for you.

I'm not a developer, so there may be imperfections. If you find a bug, want a feature added, or wish to express your feelings, my comments and DMs are open.

Lock in. Outwork. Outlast.
