When Indonesian governments tried to be the Gojeks of their own…
Alright, those who complained regarding with Jakarta Smart City team and Jabar Digital Service, the government finally built an in-house design and development team for digitalization. Hooray! And now, let’s see how existing government institutions are trying to become the Gojeks of their own. Before we convinced POLRI to have one. Case Study 1: JAKI…
Some plans to reboot Teropong, yet another Fediverse client.
Helping people develop quality Fediverse apps, not just Mastodon apps.
Mengapa mahasiswa Teknik Informatika ujung-ujungnya lulus sebagai wibu?
Sebagai bangsa yang besar, Indonesia memiliki sebuah legenda rakyat yang mengatakan bahwa setiap mahasiswa yang masuk ke dalam jurusan Teknik Informatika akan berubah menjadi seorang wibu. Ada yang nanya soal itu di Twitter, dan ada juga yang balas bahwa memang kebanyakan anak-anak IT itu, ya, wibu. Bahkan, saya juga pernah ditanya oleh mahasiswa baru, apakah…
POLRI, meet Gojek.
And you might be asking? How was POLRI before the era of POLRI Super App? The Indonesian Police Force consists of many, many autonomous regions and units, which we can divide by 2 factors: what they do and serve as, as well as where do they operate.

Making FluffyChat stories more beautiful!

Some interesting keywords from Google Search Console (and Bing, too!)
You might be asking, how do we post things that gets people from the whole world to find us on Google Search. In fact, over the last 3 months, people click our websites for more than a thousand times! Yes, we used both Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster tools to monitor our site performance,…
Building a sustainable app ecosystem for the Indonesian Police Force (POLRI).
We all have to admit that the Indonesian government is infamous for having poor quality apps and websites. Or at least, if we’re discussing about this 5 years ago. User experience (UX) designers will be mad when reporting taxes on our electronic tax filing website, https://efiling.pajak.go.id. And of course, we’re all familiar with 3-star, or…
Seriously, why (#_ )?
There are still lots of people laughing at us for “(#_ )”. Yes, the company. Even though we justified our reasons for the name (in which we actually snug the Kiloword-Pictogram Equivalence Theorem), there’s also one other reason behind our interests about the name.
