About GeekReft
Africa's intelligent tech news aggregator — built to surface stories that matter to you, from the continent that matters most.
🌍 Our Mission
GeekReft exists to make African tech news accessible, personalized, and fast. We believe every African founder, developer, investor, and tech enthusiast deserves a feed that speaks to their local ecosystem first — whether they're in Kampala, Nairobi, Lagos, Accra, or Cape Town.
Our platform aggregates news from over 50 curated African tech sources, runs a personalization algorithm that learns from your interests, and prioritizes content from your region. We strictly limit global news to stories that are relevant to African technology and innovation.

✍️ Editorial Policy
GeekReft is a news aggregator, not a publisher. All articles are sourced from their original publishers, and we link directly to the source. We do not alter, rewrite, or modify original content.
Our curation algorithm selects sources based on:
- Editorial credibility and journalistic standards
- Africa-focus — sources must primarily cover African tech
- Freshness — we prioritize sources that publish regularly
- Language — we currently focus on English-language publications
If a source publishes content in other languages (e.g., Portuguese or French), we apply an Africa-relevance filter to ensure only stories related to African tech are surfaced.
⚙️ How Our Recommendation Algorithm Works
We use a privacy-first, on-device personalization approach:
- Location Boost: Articles from your country and region get priority
- Interest Matching: Your reading history (stored only in your browser) shapes your feed
- Freshness: Recent articles are weighted more heavily
- Trending Signals: Articles with high engagement across all users are surfaced in Trending
Your data never leaves your device. All personalization is computed in your browser using localStorage. We do not sell or share your reading behavior with third parties.
