12 And 15 Year Old Boys Creates Fast Web Browser by playboyAIU(m): 1:21am On Jun 23, 2015
13 & 15 Yrs Old, Nigerian Brothers Built Mobile Web
Browsering Alternative To Google Chrome
They say
necessity is
the mother of
invention and
this is sure the
case when it
comes to 13
and 15 year
old, Nigerian
brothers Anesi
and Osine
Ikhianosime.
Their
necessity is
their need for
a faster mobile web browsing experience…because who wants
to wait a few extra seconds for Google Chrome to load when
you can build a better browser?
The dynamic coding duo are your ordinary African teenagers.
They attend school in Greensprings school, Anthony Campus,
Lagos. They love their friends, soccer, to have fun and coding,
obviously.
The young problem
solvers got tired of
waiting for Google
Chrome to load on
their mobile
phones, so decided
to do something
about it instead of
complain. They
decided to build a better mobile browser last year and called it
Crocodile Browser Lite. It is currently live and ready for your
download in the Google Play store right now.
Raised by parents who believe education and technology is
very important to the lives of all, they were raised with high
aspirations in mind. Their mother says they were able to use the
computer before they know how to read and have always been
fascinated with technology, creating, building and solving
problems.
By the age of
7 & 9, the duo
knew they
wanted to start
their own
technology
company.
Inspired by
Microsoft
Windows
platform, they
decided to
name their
company
“Doors”.
However, later they discovered that the name was taken, so
they changed it to Blu Doors”, which is still the current name
of the company.
At the ages of 12 and 14, they decided to take on the task of
learning how to code. They taught themselves, but had much
encouragement, inspiration and access to computers from their
school. They did take advantage of free resources. “I learnt to
code by myself. I startede in 2013, I used sites like Code
Academy, Code Avenger and books like ‘Android for Game
Development’ and ‘Games for Dummies,” said Anesi.
The plan to create a better browser for low end featured phones
is one that is needed for the developing world. While Chrome
and other browsers work great on high end smart phones, the
majority of the world are not using this technology and need a
low-end option that still provides quick browers response, so
this is what the young men did. They built a better mouse trap
for the phones they were using.
Crocodile Browser Lite 3.0 will be available this year in the
Google Play store and something you should check out to give
the young people support. They currently have over 1,000 downloads of their browser, but hoping to see it grow in the
near future.
Their future plans are to attend MIT in the United States
because they feel the educational opportunities, resources and
access to technology are exactly what they need to positively
impact the future as then intend.
Motivational for Nigerian youths
