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.

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.

The whole Trust+ / Internet Sehat blocklist database, now in one regular expression;
(#_ )! At the end of 2022, I decided to experiment on building a lightweight Indonesian internet blocklist database, which can be consumed offline.

Remember HAM? 🥩
Oh, I almost forgot that we’ve published the first version of HAM a year ago! Happy anniversary! For those who are unaware of: HAM is our Jekyll theme for static wiki sites and just that. We are actually afraid that Halfmoon, the CSS framework we used to build HAM, are quite unmaintained for a few…
Once upon an Unix timestamp, there was a world where we are all robots…
Well that sounds to be a starting point for an amazing science fiction adventure, but no. It’s our new name for our Fediverse clan at https://bots.reinhart1010.id! We decided to shift the focus from “Bearers of the Shells” (which many people still don’t understand what that is) to make it more unique. Kudos for Astrid for…
Updates on how we do Twitter.
Haven’t read about the recent paid Verified subscription controversy? “Oh hey! Verified are now a public commodity. Everyone can be Verified by subscribing to our recently-changed $8/mo subscription.
