We have obtained our trademark registration for our previously mentioned TripGames project. Even though we’re currently quite busy with the second version of our Kitapi project, we are eagerly looking forward to entering the gaming world with TripGames. Initially, we will develop games for Turkey’s electric car, Togg, and later bring them to iOS and Android platforms as well.
During the couple of months that Kitapi was offline, we received countless calls and messages asking, “When will it be back?” Our answer was always, “As soon as the schools reopen.” While our core features were ready, our store and landing page were not quite finished, which led to the delay. Finally, the day schools were set to reopen arrived, and in keeping with our promise, we launched the new version of Kitapi, even if it was in a bit of a rush. Our landing page and store are still not fully polished, but Kitapi itself is running smoothly!
With this new version, we think we’ve surprised our users a bit. For the past nine years, Kitapi has been offered completely free of charge. Now, we have introduced two subscription options: “Free” and “Professional Plan.” Unfortunately, this change was necessary to ensure the sustainability of the project and to keep Kitapi thriving for many more years to come. The Professional Plan offers our users an ad-free and significantly faster Kitapi experience.
To show our appreciation, we are giving all our current and new users a free 3-day trial of the Pro Plan. We hope you enjoy it!
With the new version, we now also have multi-language support, which means we are ready to expand Kitapi beyond our borders. The English version is already live, and we plan to add Russian, Bosnian, Albanian, and German soon.
Of course, there are still many areas where Kitapi can improve, and we are working diligently to enhance the platform.
Thank you for your continued support, and we hope you love the new Kitapi!
Something new is happening…
We sold our old cars, a 2006 Mercedes Vito and a 2016 Kia Soul, and decided to pass the electric car world.
Our new car is a Togg T10X. Togg is a brand-new Turkish car company. The T10X is an SUV and the company calls this vehicle not only a car but a “device”. Because it has 4 big screens, multiple cameras, and sensors it deserves the adjective. T10X has an Android operating system inside.
With this new car, we not only moved into the world of electric cars, but as a company, we also decided to move into the world of gaming. We want to develop our games for Togg’s app ecosystem first. Then we will extend our games to both the AppStore and Google Play Store.
What do we have now?
We have a new trademark: Trip Games. It is fresh out of the oven. My first and only employee, which is my wife, made this. We have been developing the games for two weeks. We will take the cars from the distribution center, tomorrow. If we see the manager of the factory’s software team then we can sign a protocol to prepare the car for the developing purpose.
We are very excited about these. Let’s see what will happen.
Finally, we had the meeting #1. It had been waiting for a long time. Believe it or not, as family-based company workers, it is hard to get together. Even if it is a “home office”. Actually, we wanted to make the meeting outside. Long story short, we made it.
What we talked about can be shrunk into three letters: KGB. Don’t worry, I’ll explain below.
The K (Kitapi): the most important project for us and the main reason we started this company. It has 3 main parts: the web app, the social media side, and the mobile apps and we are almost finished first two. Our very first employee will analyze this project and put together all the shortcomings to a list. Then she will force me to finish the list of items.
The G (Gooo.to): We want to make this little side project to global. It has a quite good domain. We also believe that it has a good potential. We’ll search the our competitors in the market (again) and try to make this little fella to be different from others.
The B (Blogs): We have several blogs that we mentioned before. One of them is kadinsanat.net (KS) and this one gets some income for months. This one has been controlled by my wife (employee #1) since the beginning. We like blogs but they are not producing income like KS. We want her to manage all the blogs we have.
Now, her time.
Wow, it feels like a lifetime since our last post, doesn’t it? But fear not, change is in the air. We’re thrilled to introduce our newest team member, who happens to be our #1 employee and a blogging extraordinaire. And no, it’s not just because she’s my wife; I’m confident that she can handle any social media task better than anyone else. How do I know? Well, her personal blog, which is kind of belongs to our company, rakes in about 70% of her salary.
Blogging isn’t her only forte. She also wears the hats of our product manager, social media manager, and graphic designer.
I can already see Kodventure taking leaps and bounds with her on board. Thank you, my dear, for joining us on this adventure. Welcome to Kodventure!
As we have added CURL support for our gooo.to project why don’t we try to make a CURL-based Wordle? Actually, we did it.
There is only one thing about the game: it is Turkish. It took only one day to finish. We can add something to do it better but it seems ok now. You can use it like:
CURL wrdle.org/WORD
Our company is two years old now. We are doing good and we hope we will open up our big project to global this year.
It is not a new trend but we saw some cool services that are command-line friendly like wttr.in, rate.sx, thanks to CURL. And we decided to put a similar functionality to our lovely and lonely URL shortener and link hub service gooo.to.
After a little update now you can shortener your long link to a small one by like this:
# curl gooo.to\?https://btmagazin.net/elektrikli-otomobil-markamiz-togg-sedan-otomobilini-ces-2022-fuarinda-tanitti/Here is the result:

Our company Kodventure going to be 2 years old after 8 days from now and we have an office phone only yesterday.
It is not much important to haven’t an office phone for our kind of business nowadays but why not? We upgraded the Internet speed and the company offered us a business phone and we took it.
Our number is 0 850 677 00 53.
One of our friends insisted that we should register our company name as a trademark. It was not so expensive then we said why not. After a few months since applied, we got the documents.
