Field notes
The homepage frames Zula around three actions—Point, Read, and Go—rather than search or category browsing. It says places appear ahead of the user, nearest first, with distance, estimated minutes, and open-or-shut status. Coverage is presented as 135 places across 13 regions and 11 journeys, with examples spanning Kampala, Cape Town, and Westminster. The page also states that the app works without signal and identifies the project as Made in Kampala.
