How a Chaos-Fighting Tool Became Our Secret Weapon for Language Preservation - Wempily

When we started building Kifuliiru.com, we had a beautiful problem: too much to do.

We needed to document 250+ verbs. Build a mobile app. Create educational books. Coordinate with elders. Manage community contributions from around the world. Keep everything accurate and culturally appropriate.

Traditional project management tools couldn't keep up. They were designed for software companies building one product, not cultural movements building entire ecosystems.

We were drowning in our own ambition.

The Breakthrough

The solution came from an unexpected place. We realized that every time we added a verb to our database, or fixed a bug in our app, or generated new educational content—we were already documenting it. In our code commits.

What if we just... used that?

We built Wempily to do exactly that. Now, when we commit code, the tool automatically tracks our progress. No manual updates. No stopping our cultural work to update a management tool.

We stay focused on what matters: preserving and promoting Kifuliiru.

What This Changed

Since using Wempily to organize our work:

We've generated 141,000+ educational books in our language. We've documented hundreds of verbs with complete conjugation systems. We've built platforms that serve over 400,000 Kifuliiru speakers worldwide.

But more importantly: our minds are free for the cultural work itself.

When elders share traditional knowledge, we're not thinking about task management. We're listening, learning, documenting, and honoring their contributions.

When community members suggest improvements, we can implement them quickly and move forward.

When opportunities emerge to expand our impact, we have the organizational clarity to act.

Technology Serving Culture

This is what technology should do: serve the mission, not distract from it.

Wempily helps us stay organized so we can focus on what we're actually here to do—preserve a language, honor a culture, serve a community.

It was born from the chaos of managing multiple cultural projects. Now it's helping us build faster and more sustainably than we ever thought possible.

The tool that came from difficulty is now enabling impact.

For Other Communities

If you're working on language preservation, cultural documentation, or community projects—you know the challenge. So much to coordinate. So little time. So few resources.

We built Wempily because we needed it. It's helped us organize chaos and accelerate our mission.

It might help yours too.
