Unipeers

The application creates a vital platform for tertiary institution students to connect, organize, and engage. The app oversees the creation of numerous activities specific to the school environment, such as departmental seminars, study groups, and society meetings.

Unipeers goes beyond campus walls; it allows seamless connection and interaction with students from different institutions, creating a pathway for learning and collaboration.

Why Unipeers Was Developed

Unipeers is a mobile app developed in August 2025 by students and the instructors of Mobile App Development at Early Code Institute as a project to keep the students active in practicals.

The app was developed for the following reasons:

• Foster Peer-to-Peer Learning: With the help of Unipeers, students can quickly learn from virtual study groups, specific courses, and share educational resources, like posting past questions to a community of peers across different universities, to help innovate growth.
• Enhance Campus Life: Students can easily create event scheduling and announcements, making it easy for students to find and join relevant extracurricular activities, from departmental meets to project seminars.
• Build a National Network: The ability to connect students from different universities and tertiary institutions around the globe, like the University of Abuja, with those in Gombe or Delta, creates a powerful network for sharing career insights, collaborating on national projects, and building future professional relationships before graduation.

Coprenur

This is an innovative professional networking mobile app, particularly designed for the tech ecosystem.

This app creates a dedicated space where entrepreneurs and developers connect, collaborate, and align on different kinds of projects based on similar interests, skills, and goals. It functions as a digital marketplace for ideas and talent.

Why was Coprenur developed?

Coprenur is a networking app developed in October 2025 to solve a pervasive problem within the Nigerian tech community. This app helps to bridge the gap between developers and entrepreneurs, allowing a free workflow between the two parties.

Below is why Coprenur was developed:

Coprenur acts as a curated matchmaker for developers and entrepreneurs

• As an entrepreneur, you post detailed project specifications, specifying the exact technical stack required (e.g., React Native/Flutter for cross-platform, Python for backend), filtering for developers with proven skills showcased through their portfolios.
• As a developer, you can browse listed projects by technology, industry, and remuneration model, allowing them to find work that aligns perfectly with their skills and desired level of commitment.

By enacting this collaborative process, the app accelerates the transformation of ideas into marketable products, fueling the growth of the local startup ecosystem and creating viable income streams for technical talent.

Stitch Flow

Stitch flow is an essential high-efficiency tool for bespoke tailoring professionals. Designed for maximum efficiency and reliability. This application creates a secure and organized environment for managing administrative duties.

It tracks workflow from the initial consultation to the final delivery. The app ensures that all critical information, including precise client measurements and real-time orders, is accurate and in order.

This focus shifts administrative clutter to craftsmanship, guarantees a personalised service and flawless execution for every garment.

Why Stitch Flow Was Developed:

This application was conceived and developed to directly modernize the administrative workflow of bespoke tailors, a vibrant and crucial small-scale industry in Abuja and across Nigeria.

Below is a breakdown of why Stitch Flow was developed:

• Precision Measurement Database: Allows tailors to securely input, store, and retrieve precise client measurements across multiple garment types. This dramatically reduces fitting errors and streamlines repeat business.
• Real-time Order Tracking: Provides a transparent, digital timeline for every piece being worked on, from cutting to sewing to finishing, allowing the tailor to manage their production schedule accurately and provide clients with real-time updates.
• Client Communication & Invoicing: Integrates streamlined messaging and digital invoicing, creating a professional and reliable client experience.

By automating these administrative tasks, Stitch Flow allows skilled designers to dedicate more time to their actual craft, tailoring and craftsmanship, while maintaining the high level of personalized service their clients expect.
