Key features

  • Plain-English journey input with landmark and typo-aware place resolution.
  • TfL routes, fare information, live line status, and geolocation support.

Blumo — Developer Consistency Platform

Problem

Students and early-career developers can struggle to turn broad learning goals into consistent, meaningful development practice.

  • GitHub sign-in, developer-goal onboarding, and repository selection through a separately installed GitHub App.
  • AI-assisted daily missions that users can complete, edit, preview, and explicitly approve.
