Kurb
NOTES
Half-baked thoughts, finished essays, and everything in between. What we’re building, what we believe, what I’m reading, and the occasional rant about Manila traffic. Not just parking — though parking shows up too.
Five structural reasons drivers spend 47 minutes circling — and why most of them have nothing to do with traffic. The case for treating parking as a search problem, not a supply problem.
Building KurbThree months of public commits, public mistakes, and public roadmap. What works, what backfires, and what I'd never do again.

NotesThe honest version, including the parts where we almost switched to Flutter twice. A pragmatic comparison for early-stage Manila teams.
ManilaMost Manila drivers don't have iPhones. What that meant for our perf budget, our APK size, and our default fonts.
ManilaInside the loop versus outside it. Why the same app needs two different default views — and what we learned shipping the wrong one first.
