I was not a regular coffee☕️ person before coming here to Ireland🇮🇪. The plausible cause could be that I have spent a good 8 years of my life in Dubai🏙. Gradually I started blending into the coffee☕️ culture of Ireland - a morning coffee from a nearby coffee shop, another one at the office before getting into the routine agile sprint, it was much needed to keep me awake👀 ;). Last but not least a coffee from “seven-wonders” while walking back to my apartment.

With too many coffees☕️ came numerous Loyalty paper punch cards, that gave way to a bulky wallet!. I started wondering why nobody has addressed this issue yet.

So, my very first week in Ireland🇮🇪 prompted the idea💡 of an app to ease this pain point. As is very typical of me, I started noting the workflow on my iPhone Note-app 📝 and started wondering why nobody has addressed this yet.

As time went by I had to focus on my daily work, Being quite new to this part of the world and the first member of EMEA DevOps team, I followed the strategy of “keep your head down and work hard”.

Finally, I started realising the natural itch of working on something of my own and found some time to work on this app which was hanging on the list of side-project ideas for quite a long time.

So here it is, my effort to materialize the very idea of upgrading good old paper loyalty cards. It is still a work in progress, hoping to release it soon on apple app-store and android play store.
