Pre-save your code before dumsor hits – AI-powered outage predictor
Ghanaian developers lose unsaved code and experience downtime with cloud-based tools like VS Code and AWS due to frequent 'dumsor' power outages.
PowerProofCode uses device sensors and local weather APIs to predict outages minutes ahead, triggering hyper-frequent saves to encrypted local storage. It integrates as a lightweight proxy for VS Code/AWS sessions, caching API calls. Resume instantly post-outage with one-click recovery.
