diffuse- A music player which connects to your cloud/distributed storage. you can listen your music on webbrowser but the music data are stored on dropbox ,amazon,gaia,google drive ,etc.
 
 

 
How to use it ?

1. download the blockstack browser from ]www.blockstack.org[/url] and get a blockstack id just like get a google id or facebook id
2. type https://diffuse.sh/ into the brower, and login with your blockstack id ,then you can click the "sources" button and then "add a new source" to select the storage which you can upload .For instance ,I choose dropbox,and then I click the green button to rename the folder name and  the be redirected to official dropbox webpage.

 
 

 
I renamed the folder blockstackmp3 and that name as same as the dropbox folder which I store my mp3 format music.
 


3.click the "Process sources" button and then it would sync itself,now ,back to the homepage ,you can find the music name on your browser ,just click it and listen to it.
 
 
 
Links:
 
]Web Version[/url]
]Native version(window, linux and macOS )[/url]
]Source Code Address[/url]
 
 
Which services does it use?
 
Diffuse uses two layers of services, these layers are:

1. User layer
2. Music layer

 
User layer

This layer will use a service to store data from a user, such as the user’s favourites, their playlists and data from the processed music files.

You can choose between these services:

• Blockstack
• RemoteStorage
• IndexedDB (ie. anonymous mode)

 
Music layer

This layer connects with the services the user has on which music can be found. No data is written to these services. You can combine all of the following services:

• Amazon S3
• Azure Blob Storage
• Dropbox
• Google Drive
• IPFS
• Local Filesystem (native only)
• WebDAV (native only)

 
How does it work?

Diffuse locates all the music files on the given services, extracts the metadata and then stores it via the user layer (which was explained before).
 
Supported File Formats

• MP3
• MP4/M4A
• FLAC

 
CORS

There’s only one thing you need to do yourself so that your service will work with the application, and that’s setting up CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing). Here are the instructions you’ll need for each service:

Amazon S3

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<CORSConfiguration xmlns="[url=http://s3.amazonaws.com/doc/2006-03-01/">]http://s3.amazonaws.com/doc/2006-03-01/">[/url]

ipfs config --json Gateway.HTTPHeaders.Access-Control-Allow-Origin '["*"]'

ipfs config --json Gateway.HTTPHeaders.Access-Control-Allow-Headers '["X-Requested-With", "Range", "Content-Range"]'

    <ExposedHeaders>Accept-Ranges,Content-Encoding,Content-Length,Content-Range</ExposedHeaders>

</CorsRule>

<Cors>

 
Search

Searching is powered by lunr.js, which means you can use all these wildcards and other stuff to refine your search. A few examples:
 

# "Parkway Drive" or "Iron Maiden".

# The non-escaped space (ie. ` `, not `\ `) indicates a new term.

Parkway\ Drive Iron\ Maiden



# Show me every track of which the artist's name starts with 'park'.

artist:park*



# Show me every track from Parkway Drive's "Deep Blue" album.

artist:Parkway\ Drive + album:Deep\ Blue



# Show me every track from Parkway Drive but not their "Atlas" album.

artist:Parkway\ Drive - album:Atlas

Q1: What's your background, what were you working on before this startup Sendeddy, What's your work experience, Can you introduce your business to our users?


My past roles were as non-executive Director to Transman 2002-13; CIO Strategist Radiospoor; management of the Anglo American Outsource in 2001 and 2008 as well as Program Manager for End User Computer Strategy build for Old Mutual in 2014. 

I am a co-founder and current CEO of Sendeddy Technologies and has developed the business over the past 3 years along side with co-founder Maria Tsingos. Together they developed a prototype which was released in 2016, for On-demand Logistics, securing investment, produced a phone app in 2017, then web app, in 2018, to confirm the white label and e-commerce demand requirements. 

As a co-founder I am fully responsible for all Financial Management and Reporting, Investor Negotiations and Relations and Strategic Planning and Projects. Maria Tsingos handles the operations and marketing aspect of Sendeddy.

Sendeddy is a disruptive logistics platform that disintermediates the supply chain, connects Logistics companies, Couriers and self-employed transporters, crowd-souring, with companies, or individuals, sending on demand and harnessing Convenience, Optimization and Economies of scale through the routing and system algorithms.




Q2: What are your thoughts on the current state of online transport services in South Africa?

The idea behind Sendeddy is to help enhance and improve the state of current online transport services. Our platform is designed to allow for any transport business (small or large) to jump on and use the site to their advantage. We are building towards offering a complete offering of all three major factors within todays logistics and delivery environment namely; convenience, affordability and optimisation.



Q3:  How did you find your co-founders and employees? What’s the story of how you setup your team? (please attach some team photos and co-founders photos)

I approached Maris in 2016 to help build the business up with me. Together we established a board of directors and started bringing in shareholders to help fund the business.



Q4: When you guys built the initial products and service, What were the difficulties your team faced and how did you fix them?

We initially faced a lack of available resources in terms of labour and we had to make up for it by working extremely efficiently and hard to ensure we kept up with as many expectations as possible.


Q5: How did you get initial money to start the business? Did you raise some investment from some angel investors like other internet companies?

I  used my entire savings as well as sold my Audi to initially fund the business. We were then fortunate enough to come across our first seed capital investor and used those funds to develop our first ever mobile application, which we intend to rebrand as to reflect our current sleek black and white CI.



Q6: How did you attract new users to your website and use your software?  What are the useful operation methods you can share?

We had a very limited marketing budget to begin with however we believe we effectively utilised our resources and pulled together some small to medium sized promotional and training events used to inform and educate prospects on Sendeddy and the disruptive technology that we are trying to introduce. The approach we took was to reduce unnecessary costs by trying to do it right the first time. We had acquired an in-house designer who’s level of skill was excellent and was in fact extremely affordable for the high quality service she provided. We also ensured that the people we did employ on a full time basis were equipped to wear many hats and work within various sectors of the business. It is so important to  hire the right people during the Dev/POC phases of the business because you cannot afford the costs of negligence or severe mistakes.



Q7: Have you experienced start-up failures before? If YES, what did you learn from it?

Not yet.


Q8: How did you grow your revenue? What’s the story behind how you got your first revenue from clients?

Our initial approach was to target the consumer to consumer market however we found that our best revenue generating market was in fact the small business to SME sectors. During our initial application launch we gained traction from users who saw our product as an “Uber” replicant and used us as an alternative to send themselves around, however we decided to shelve the application and build the current website to allow for businesses to utilise us for the purpose of true on-demand delivery. We approached these businesses face to face and with extensive calling and email marketing strategies as to avoid high Marketing costs.


Q9: What operational data you can share? The user amounts, revenues, employee numbers, GMV, etc.

Our site officially went live last year March/April and from then until now we have generated over 20 000 $ that we have paid out to transporters (Individuals and logistics companies)

There are two full time employees and several shareholders that operate within the business however we have employed people on a part-time and internship basis in between to help with administrative and operational duties.


Q10: How do you attract senders to place orders on your website?  What is the  average cost for per package in South Africa? What is the cost for sending a package on Sendeddy?

We ensure that we provide excellent customer service which in turn results in word of mouth and organic growth. The beauty about Sendeddy is that our pricing structure doesn’t work like your general couriers. We do not charge per volume, weight, height etc and instead we offer a service that is based on per km rates (local ofcourse). When it comes to intercity transportation, the couriers and logistic companies signed up with quote accordingly. Our system is also the first online platform with a routing function in which the user can select a vehicle and then route as many packages as he/she likes and witness the incredible price savings on being able to

With Sendeddy a user is able to fill a motorbike/sedan/van and only pay per as per the distance. Although the system is still being developed and AI will be implemented that takes in account volumetric considerations and time, we will always strive to be different to any other platform out there.



Q11: How do you ensure transporter quality?

All of our transporters are verified through Intergreatme and are required to have a valid PRDP licence before we allow them to transport and goods on our site.

Intergreatme is an online verification application that you can download off your IOS/Playstore that uses facial recognition to ensure the transporter is who they say they are as well as checks their proof of residence, criminal record and ID/Drivers License.

We also provide training prior to any delivery being done to ensure the transporters are capable of using the platform correctly as well as on customer service and any potential emergency procedures.



Q12: What’s your goals for your business? Why do that goals are important  for you?

We are aiming at onboarding thousands of transporters and hundreds of thousands of clients to create a true crowd sourcing on-demand service. We are also focussed on bringing Sendeddy into the township areas to help grow and stabilise the economies within. The township project has always been close to my heart and we are set on bringing on as many transporters as possible to help provide them with a steady income through our site.

We want to be the big brother of disruptive logistics within South Africa and to start off with, and to gradually grow within other African regions and internationally as well.



Q13: What’s your view on your competitors?

We like to know who are competitors are as well as what they are offering because it really helps us measure our performance and ensure that our service stands out from the rest. We have not come across anything quite like Sendeddy just yet, although there are smaller digital couriers out there which we have taken a stance of not seeing them as our competitor but too rather approach them and offer them Sendeddy as an add on to their income generation.

Q1: What's your background, what were you working on before this startup FineArt, What's your work experience, Can you introduce your business to our users?


I am a fine artist, with specialization in drawing and painting and also a computer scientist with specialization in software and web development, I am also fortunate to have graduated as both fine artist and computer scientist, with a Master degree in Information Technology, my detail CV can be found on http://nemsacademy.com/ben/cv.html

 



However on like the IT, I grew up knowing that I can draw, I love Art and want to be an artist when I grew up, but in 2004 I was drifted to have a taste IT although as a backup plan incase if the passion for Art could not sustain me this was like 15 years ago, and here I am loving every bit of my second passion and career as a professional Software and web developer. From 2004 to 2008 I worked full-time as a programmer and web designer with some IT firms in Lagos, I quit in 2008 to become self-employed and registered my IT company Bengallery Information Technology in same year (2008), therefore I have been fortunately to work as a freelancer for both some multination IT firms as a software engineering consultant, as well as built website and software solutions for several other organization and individuals, also note that while this was going was not losing focus of my Art passion as I was in the college studying to graduate as a Fine Artist, at the same time as a Computer Scientist, it is worth noting also that the finance to pull this up was possible because of my success in my IT career.


Now my startup FineArt.com.ng is an idea I convinced long time ago, around 2004, but I started implementing it around 2006, but it was too premature then, as I was lacking in technical capacity to build such solution and secondly I was not able to interpret and develop the idea properly.

FineArt.com.ng is an online art gallery portal designed to celebrate Nigerian Artist; giving younger artist an online present to showcase their talent to the world, and be inspired by the Older or well established Artist, through the Artist-on-Focus section where be celebrate older or well established Nigerian Visual Artists.









Q2:  What experience or idea inspire you to get started with FineArt and what does this mean to you in today’s Nigeria online art industry? (If you can, please attach related photos about that experience )


As I a young artist I have experience the fear of uncertainty of never finding my voice, being unknown, and my talent locked down and never gaining exposure let alone making some money from my Art, this is was push me to explore IT in 2004. I have dream of using IT to expose my Artwork and career to the world, and also to make some money to sustain my passion for Art (even though I have dive too deep to IT as a software and developer for close to 15 year), this is what inspires me to start FineArt.com.ng, although this idea was conceived in 2004 to took me so long to implement it because I was learning to be a programmer and web designer, I was supporting myself in college, I was working, gaining experiences and exposure I needed to fine tune the concept, several attempts was made that never saw the light of the day, not until 2015 when I started redesigning the code and fine-tuning the idea





Q3: What's your technical architecture of your website? How long did your team accomplish the website until it launched?


My website FineArt.com.ng has come a long way, taking different form and name while I learn and put my idea into retrospect. I built the website using simple incremental architecture; that is I build on each function as the need arises, I hate complexity and useless experimentation with visitors’ time, I simple observe the challenges and feedback from my user before implementing the function. It took us three (3) years to get it up and launched, many of this time where spent doing non-technical stuff like talking to artists, and doing some paper works and brainstorming.




Q4: What are your thoughts on the current state of online art services in Nigeria?


When I conceived the idea of online art gallery in Nigeria around 2004, I don’t think there is anything like that in Nigeria, and even when we launched in 2015 I still cannot notice major online art gallery in Nigeria. Currently very few art galleries are embracing technology in connecting with their clients, here people still believe in going to galleries physical to enjoy or buy some good works of art, while running such gallery space can be very expensive in Lagos Island where this galleries are clustered because of high patronage on the Island, so the problem of space in Lagos can be very challenging and many young talented artists can’t afford the high cost of paying galleries. This is what inspires us to startup FineArt.com.ng






Q5:  How did you find your co-founders and employees? What’s the story of how you setup your team? (please attach some team photos and co-founders photos)


I was very open to teaching and motivating younger programmer in my community, overtime I have this number of young people grew, many becomes friends and some later share in my dream. One of the most outstanding people I have such contact with in teaching PHP and MySQL was a young lady name Blessing, who later becomes my wife in 2016 and we recently welcome our first child last September 2018. She shares in my dream and has contributed immensely to sustaining this dream of FineArt.com.ng along with another young man called Toluwalope. For now we are small team of 3 passionate young people doing what we love. Sometime we also get some students coming to join us during their compulsory 6 months industrial training from the University.






Q6: When you guys built the initial products and service, What were the difficulties your team faced and how did you fix them?


One of the major challenges we face is how we want FineArt.com.ng (although then we have not agreed on the name) will be run; idea of limiting number of works to be uploaded by each artist, challenges of convincing artist as at 2005 or 2006 to visit this strange website to upload the pictures of their artworks was strange and terrifying to some of them, some even suspect and accuse us that we may expose their art concept to be stolen by other artist online, financial challenges was the least challenges them because we are sure we are not going to be making money then. Anyway most of this challenges where taken care of as social media started gaining popularity everything was blown open, everybody is now finding their voices online, and there is very little challenges about one artist idea being stolen as everyone is now putting up the pictures of their artwork everywhere, so that tension just goes away with time.





Q7: How did you get initial money to start the business? Did you raise some investment from some angel investors like other internet companies?



We did not raise money through some angel investors when we are starting, as I said my small team of three (3) are friends, so they support the dream on part-time basis while maintaining their full-time jobs, the cost of hosting the site is from my other IT company. It was worth to note that when we started angel investors sees no reason to put their money in out startup because the physical art gallery is still new and gaining more attention. Although as I talk to you we are currently pitching FineArt.com.ng to investors to enable us grow beyond our current level.



Q8: How did you attract new users to your website and use your software?  What are the useful operation methods you can share?


I am a visual artist myself, and while studying in college I have lots of artist friends whom I also connect with on social media, therefore introducing them to FineArt.com.ng so my passion for art is what has kept us going, and the love of younger artists in giving them a platform to showcase there artworks is motivation behind we getting users to register with us. So the LOVE for what we do and the LOVE for the people concern is the key operation method.






Q9: Have you experienced startup failures before? If YES, what did you learn from it?


FineArt.com.ng was initially a fail startup 2005 to 2008, so we quickly learn how lesson by understanding that we launched too prematurely with wrong motives of how-do-we-make-money-from-this to let’s-just-do-what-we-love-and-have-fun so there is no pressure on us for now, so we are just having fun.






Q10: How did you grow your revenue? What’s the story behind how you got your first revenue from clients?


As I said earlier the initial startup fund was from my other IT business and currently we are looking at getting some investors



Q11: How to attract buyers give orders on your site? 

The idea of FineArt.com.ng is to connect buyer directly to seller, and for now we make the process so simple, that an order places by the buyer appears at an in-mail to the seller, giving the seller the opportunity to reach the buyer directly.



Q12: How do you ensure sellers quality in your site?


I simply spell out the terms of condition to the sellers, and ensure they comply.


Q13: What’s your goals for your business? Why do that goals are important  for you?


My goal is to provide all Nigerian/African artists the opportunity to showcase their artworks to the world without hindrance. And motivates them by celebrating the older or well established artist, and recently we have started celebrating even some of this new and younger artist as well.



Q14: What’s your views on your competitors?


Competitors are very important, the keep you on your toes, however we are more focus on our goals knowing that the environment here varies from that which is obtainable in Europe or America. Ours is majorly for the local market for now.





Q15: How do you keep learning? Where do you go to learn more?


Apart from graduating from college, where I have learnt the basics and formal processes of Art in Nigeria, the internet is now one big open university for my continues learning, I also invest a whole lot on printed books (home library).




Q16: What do you do on a daily or a weekly basis that you think is important in terms of forming your opinions on the Africa art industry?


I study and learn on a daily basis, if I am not busy working on a web/software projects or painting/drawing in my study. Over the weekend I most time access my progress or review that which I have done during the weekdays, and sometime I attends Art exhibitions or talks around Lagos.



Q17: What’s  your biggest surprise over the last three, four years on software and internet industry where you have been working? What happened that you didn’t expect?


It takes a whole lot to remain focus in this era of information overloading or outbursts on the internet. And new technologies keep popping up every day and someone somewhere is expecting you to know it all. Collapse Read »

So, you want to improve your website ranking?

Well you have made a good choice, In the world of marketing it’s always best to spend little to nothing but get x times the ROI whether the investment was time or money.

Note

It’s basically like sitting down and making money as times goes by .

90% of all online experiences start with a search engine whether it’s Google,Bing or yahoo most of online users have no idea of their destination website or app but they do have an idea of typing some keywords to get relevant results , 75% of users never scroll to the second page of results, and 70% to 80% of users completely ignore paid search advertisements.

This means that if you get your website ranking organically on search engines, you’ll leverage all of that percentage potential.

Unfortunately, you’re not the only one trying to do it,Yes competition is everywhere in the marketing world. Since SEO offers so much promise, everyone with a website is trying to get their cut of SERP potential.

That means that you’re going to have to compete with a lot of other websites to get to the top.

In fact, 27.88% of marketing dollars go toward SEO.That’s a higher percentage than social media, PPC, and link building combined.

But don’t get disappointed by this please do find some of the tricks that we do apply here at Primeware to our clients hopefully these tricks can help you on your journey to a better ranking.

Tip #1: Use competitive analysis

One of the best way to achieve a better seo is to analyze the successful competition.

Get to know the following

What are they doing?

How are they doing it?

How much are they spending?

And how can you mimic their efforts?

These are all valid questions to ask when trying to determine what your competitors are doing right, what they’re doing wrong, and how you can copy their successful tactics.

As with most marketing practices, it’s best to have an understanding of what other people are doing to win rather than trying to build a strategy from scratch.

After all, why use a strategy that you’re not sure works when you could use one that is tried and tested by a competitor?

Yes it’s not like in class where your teacher can penalize you for copying one another in marketing you pose to compete to it’s a good strategy to copy.

But how do you go about analyzing the competition?

Well, you’re going to need a few tools. The first one is BuzzSumo.

BuzzSumo has a free trial you can use every day if you like. It won’t give you as many results as the paid version, but it’s still worth your time.

If you type a competitor’s URL into the domain text box, BuzzSumo will show you which pieces of content on their website are getting shared the most.

And shares are good for SEO since it increases your social signals for that page.

You can then click on the content and read through it to get an understanding of how they generated all of those shares.

Note

You can also use Moz’s Open Site Explorer to do something similar.

Tip #2: Get active on social media

Think about it this way.

Search engines try to take into account as much information as possible about your website.

They use it to determine the quality of your website and thus where they should place you when someone searches regarding a topic within your niche.

One of the factors that search engines consider is social media. In particular, they consider the following questions:

How active are your social media accounts?
How up-to-date are your social media accounts?
How many shares does your website content get on social media?

On top of all that SEO attention, keep in mind that social media also offers 2.7 billion social media users. That’s a lot of selling potential

In other words, social media sharing and marketing are well worth your time.

It’s not just worth it for the sake of reaching a larger audience on the social media platform itself, but also because all that attention will benefit your SEO strategy.

When it comes to which social media platforms to focus your efforts on, it’s ultimately up to you.

Tip #3: Optimize on-page elements

One of the best ways to kickstart your website’s SEO is by optimizing the on-page elements.

In fact, if you don’t make sure that you have optimized all of the on-page elements, it’s going to be difficult to get very far with all of your other efforts.

For that reason, this should be one of your top priorities.

But what on-page elements matter most, and how can you optimize them?

Well, the lowest-hanging fruit is correct keyword placement.

To research the keywords that you should target with each page on your website, go to Keyword Tool.

Then, at the top of the tool, you can choose the search engine you want to focus on. Most of you will probably want to look at Google, but not necessarily.

Next, type in your niche product or industry that gives a basic idea of the keywords you want to target. Try “content marketing,” for instance.

Click the red search icon on the right.

What you’re going to see on the next page is awesome. Keyword Tool will show you a list of the keywords that people have searched for the most that include the words you typed in.

If you purchase the paid version, you’ll even be able to see the exact amount of searches for each keyword and the competition for each.

But how do you use this list of valuable information?

Simply choose a few of the keywords that you think you could create a blog post from.

In the example above, you might choose “content marketing strategy,” or “content marketing definition.”

Once you choose a topic, write a blog post with those keywords in the title and within the content itself.

You can also include LSI keywords. To find these, simply type the keyword you’re targeting into Google.

Scroll to the bottom of the page and you’ll see the related searches.

If you sprinkle these related keywords — also known as LSI keywords — throughout your content as well, it will give your page a better chance of ranking for the right topic.

You’ll also need to make sure that you include your primary keywords in the title tag of your page.

You’ll want to add a meta description as well.

That will help Google quickly and easily recognize what your page is about and place it in the right category.

Another way to quickly optimize your on-page SEO is to increase the word count of your blog posts.

Generally, longer posts perform better.

Sometimes, writing long content can feel like a drag. But it doesn’t have to be.

Just do plenty of research and put together a thorough outline before you start writing. Then it won’t be difficult to know what you’re going to discuss in the upcoming paragraphs.

Finally, to optimize your on-page SEO, you’ll want to include some internal links in each blog post.

Two or three links on each post that lead to other pages of your website should suffice. Just make sure that they’re in-text citations (rather than image attributions) since those count for more on Google.

All of those elements, from keyword optimization to word count, will prep your site for ranking like you want it to. Collapse Read »

For those who don’t know what influencer marketing is take a minute to read this.As simply defined by google it is a form of marketing in which focus is placed on influential people rather than the target market as a whole. It identifies the individuals that have influence over potential buyers, and orients marketing activities around these influencers.

What are chatbots? What is all the buzz about it? How do they work? Can they help my business grow? How can i build one? Do i necessarily need one ?

Basically as define from google a chatbot is computer program designed to simulate conversation with human users, especially over the Internet.

The buzz around chatbots is due to the fact that nowadays people’s attention is on messaging platforms hence marketers are taking advantage of this to help businesses market themselves using messaging platforms such as facebook messenger,Telegram,slack,skype and whatsapp.

Any business can benefit from this technology since it brings great value to consumers who spend a huge amount of time in messaging platform,Consumers find it rather easy to converse with a business and get information or service through their messaging applications rather than making a call or writing an email which is seen as a long process.

Lets say your Looking to build a bot for your company you can contact Primeware Tanzania Limited a startup company in Tanzania with vast experience in the chatbot space our design and development team can get you up to speed on customizing your bot and getting enough audience to it to maxi-maze value to your business.

“~95% of our time on mobile is spent on email and messaging platforms. I would love to back teams that build stuff for places where the consumers hang out!” Collapse Read »

As of the past month, the team at Primeware had a significant number of requests in developing different mobile applications. As much as we love to craft apps from ideation to an actual tangible product, we noticed a similar pattern in majority of the requests.

The more we got to know what the project was about ( The scope, budget, Operational Milestones, Architect Milestones ). We came to realize that the majority of the request had the following theories attached on mobile applications :

“ This is just a one time thing. We build an app & once it’s done, we call it a day. “
“ Let’s just build it, the customers will come.”
“ Of course we expect a hard start & a bit failure at first but with time everything will be as smooth as butter. “

With the so theory, The ideal thought on failure rate while executing the app would be:

However, the actual projections are:

See, with time we will need to introduce changes on the app to either integrate a new technology, fix bugs, introduce new features or simply and most crucial : listen to what the market is requesting. (Think of the evolution of WhatsApp, from basing on multimedia & text only. To allowing voice & video calls, 24 hours media status update, sending documents and other in-app features)

A quick statistics on the world of apps, there are over :

2.8Million apps in the Google play Store
2.2Million in Apple Store
650K+ in Windows store
230K+in Blackberry Store.

What we look at is for the app to not fall in as another statistic. We wouldn’t want you to drain your money for no reason. The reason why it’s called an application, is simply to it that it should have an application into an end user’s way of life one way or the other. So as we converse on a high level, it’s keen to look at things like : Is there an actual crave, an actual need to building the app? How do we make one? Is this a critical move to your business? Is there an alternative approach to your solution? What’s the Opportunity cost?.

This helped some to re-evalute their app theory, strategy and execution before we develop and deploy, some decided we should execute an alternative approach before we develop the app.

However, we must admit that the talks have been really exciting to know that there’s a rise in number of people looking into the digital world & we are definitely looking forward for future talks. Collapse Read »

Brand Profile:
 
MOVEPRETTY IS A PREMIUM ATHLEISURE BRAND, FOUNDED BY DOUBLE OLYMPIC SOUTH AFRICAN TRIATHLETE, MARI RABIE AND FASHION DESIGNER, ANNELIZE KOTZE.
 
MOVEPRETTY understands that women want to feel confident and beautiful – especially when living a healthy active lifestyle. women don’t just want a pink version of a men’s running vest. annelize designs with the stylish, dynamic woman in mind, and mari makes sure that all the “prettymoves” work just as well as they are beautiful.

"we make as many changes as necessary to initial styles, to ensure maximum flexibility and movement. if you train five hours per day, you don’t want to think about comfort – it should be a given," - mari.

“it is important to us that each ‘prettymove’ has a touch of delight – that small surprise that makes the woman wearing it feel special and pretty. examples include pocket detail, subtle rose-gold foil print, pretty stitching on the inside of the garment, beautiful packaging, and a personalised customer service experience.” -  annelize
 
varies from active wear such as the ms leggy 3/4 to athleisure wear such as the new own-the-night jumpsuit made from luxurious micro-active fabric to our velvet bomber which can be worn from the barre, to the bar, by just changing accessories and shoes. other quirky names in the range include zepants - short for hot pants, ideal for running; the elastic tank, a classic running vest with perforated power mesh; and our brand new jogger for an urban sports-luxe look. now there's no need to change after pilates before grabbing a kombucha at your favourite health shop.
