Offline-first code vault with P2P sync for Tanzanian dev teams.
Tanzanian developers suffer frequent internet outages and slow speeds that make cloud-based devtools like AWS and GitHub unusable, causing project delays.
TzCodeVault stores code snippets, projects, and docs in a local-first vault that syncs P2P when peers are online or via cloud when possible. Perfect for team collabs during outages – edit offline, merge changes automatically. Includes built-in markdown editor and version history.
