I built a Switchless eSIM that works in 200 locations and regions
Hello HN, A year ago, I started the journey to create what we call a Switchless eSIM for travelers.

Many years ago, I made VJ softwares (to mix live visuals in clubs) for unexpected platforms like the Game Boy Advance, the Playstation 2 and the Raspberry Pi. This year, I’m back with a new web-app: Pikimov.
