The app
What Snowvue is for
Eight parts of the app. Each one should be useful this week, on an ordinary phone.
Market & prices
Know the price before you walk
A checked price from your district, before you hire a boda.
- Prices reported at the market, checked, and shown by district.
- Sell, buy, or barter with a person you can name.
- Snowvue Box is for moving a parcel through a local agent.
Eat well
Cook what the week can afford
A balanced plate, scored in plain words, priced with food that is actually in the market.
- Score the plate: staple, beans or sauce, greens, and fruit.
- Swap to a cheaper in-season food that still feeds the house.
- Home recipes priced with this week’s market, not a book from somewhere else.
Ekika · family circle
Ask the people who remember
Grandparents, parents, and grown children stay in one circle. Jjajja keeps what the family knows.
- Ekyoto, the family fireplace: record a story in the language you speak at home.
- The Olulyo, your family tree, and a family recipe book with a quarterly contest.
- Find my kin is strictly opt-in, elder to elder, and only when a clan and an ancestor are shared.
Kijja na
Come and play for your district
Monthly games. The prize is a real thing, named before the month begins.
- Guess a price, share a photo, answer a question, or build a balanced plate.
- A leaderboard for the district, so the game stays local.
- The prize is named before the month begins.
Scans & advice
A photo, then a careful next step
A first reading is not a vet. If the animal is sick, the directory should give you a name and a place.
- Photograph a plant or an animal and get a first reading.
- A directory of vets, so the next step has a name and a place.
- Weather alerts and extension knowledge, written for the phone you have.
Shorts & community
Short lessons, and old knowledge that has been checked
A film is not the same thing as a fact.
- Short videos you can watch when the network allows, and keep when it does not.
- Forums for a district, a crop, or a family question.
- Traditional knowledge is marked verified only after an elder has checked it.
Food pantry
Surplus should reach a kitchen
You agree to the referral. Your name is not shared quietly.
- A partner pantry is checked before it is listed.
- You choose the referral. Saying nothing is not a yes.
- The aim is simple: food that would spoil can feed a household nearby.
Diaspora
Support the shamba. Do not send cash into a chat.
Relatives abroad can follow the family garden and pay for inputs that are delivered.
- Join an Ekika only when the family in Uganda invites you, or an elder accepts you.
- Sponsor seed, tools, or other inputs. The goods travel. The cash does not.
- You see only what that circle has chosen to show.
