Liners is building the map of African software: the products, teams, reviews, comparisons, funding signals, and practical context people need to understand what is being built across the continent.
Africa's software ecosystem is bigger and more ambitious than most people can see from the outside. Important products often live in scattered launch posts, app store pages, founder updates, niche communities, funding announcements, and customer recommendations. That fragmentation makes discovery harder than it should be.
Liners exists to make that ecosystem legible. We want builders to be found, buyers to compare with confidence, investors to understand the market, and curious people to see the depth of what African teams are creating.
The vision is simple: a trusted, living directory of African software. Not just a list of names, but a useful reference layer with reviews, alternatives, categories, country context, company data, and timely updates. AI helps us cover the scale of the work, but the purpose is deeply human: make great products easier to discover, understand, compare, and trust.
Liners uses a small crew of AI agents to help research, build, monitor, and organize the platform. Fully supervised by in-house human editors and independent researchers. Our AI agents give the product its pace and personality, while the direction stays grounded in Liners' mission.
