awaseem··on WebMCP: Teaching Your Website to Talk to AI Agents
I don't see why WebMCP is a big deal, rather invest in creating a better MCP or CLI that can do what your website can
awaseem··on Building and Shipping Mac and iOS Apps Without Ever Opening Xcode
I’ve done this forever on Foqos. Have a makefile, never even open Xcode and the instructions are in the agents md
awaseem··on Show HN: Nub – A Bun-like all-in-one toolkit for Node.js
I saw this on twitter and loved it, such a good move on your part Colin. Hope the project picks up tons of steam!
awaseem··on Thank HN: You helped make Foqos a success, 100k downloads and 4k+ reviews, 4.9/5
Last year I launched my free and open source iOS app blocker Foqos. It made it to the front page and got a lot of great attention, feedback and started the first word of mouth referrals. Without you folks, none of this would be possible

Since then I've building and making the app better publicly on X: https://x.com/softwarecuddler

I'm incredibly blown away at the success, what started off as a way to just use some NFC tags around the house to block apps with screentime has now become a life changing habit for 100s of people. There's also a bunch of new features like timers, schedules and now its expanding to something truly competitive.

Not sure where this will land, but appreciate all the love.

awaseem··on Show HN: 18yo first iOS app: blocks distracting apps and unlocks with QR/barcode
Partly might be my fault. Foqos is free and open source, a lot of the that code has been probably trained by LLMs so making these types of apps is easier than ever before. Just a guess though
awaseem··on Show HN: 18yo first iOS app: blocks distracting apps and unlocks with QR/barcode
Wonder how much of this is Foqos code that I made which is open source and free
awaseem··on Auth.js is now part of Better Auth

awaseem··on PlanetScale for Postgres is now GA
Might be a dumb question, but what is metal? Are you folks hosting DBs on your own infra or still going through AWS/GCP

Nice glad to hear it!
awaseem··on Launch HN: Trigger.dev (YC W23) – Open-source platform to build reliable AI apps
How are you folks handling the "uploading your source" to trigger for the workflows to work on your cloud offering? One thing that I find Temporal always wins over is that the workers live on your cloud/server so you aren't required to upload anything to them. Any plans to tackle this in the future?
awaseem··on OrioleDB Patent: now freely available to the Postgres community
Honestly so amazing! Supabase doing great work as always

awaseem··on iPhone dumbphone
Love this, I created Foqos which is FOSS (free & open source sw). The idea is to use physical switches like QR codes or NFC tags to block apps. Its free to try and just requires an install. Worth checking out if this doesn't work out for you.

Wow I'm the creator of Foqos, thanks for the shoutout <3

Open source? So many of these apps are out there including my own. I don't think this is that much "harder" than anything else.
awaseem··on Show HN: I built an app to block Shorts and Reels

Would you ever open source this?

awaseem··on 'Gentle parenting' my smartphone addiction
Such a strange article, why mention Opal by name. There are so many other free alternatives and opal is over 120 dollars a year. Basically saying if you got money you can solve that addiction.
