I built a Product Hunt alternative for African tech startups

With the advance of AI, everyone is building and creating solutions. It is actually amazing to see people in Africa engage this creative field and produce products that could help their ecosystem. So I built a platform that will soon be the biggest directory of tech products made by people in Africa to solve African Problems. I am taking this path because I understand we have very different problems and different cultures and things work differently especially in Africa. What do you guys think? I want your feedback on everything.
