Like an idiot, I wrote a workflow dev library from scratch. (https://github.com/workglow-dev/workglow). Each task has either static or dynamic input, output, and config json schemas. Which makes creating a UI for it a little easier.

And I do have a basic UI at https://workglow.dev/ (where you can run the workflow, though if you use AI models, the models will run in the browser -- if you want to run GGUF models, please signup for the desktop app waitlist).

I got addicted to scrolling content on my phone, so I built a digital pet whose growth and well-being depends on you staying off your phone! This way, if I spend all night scrolling the browser, my pet will get depression. Unlike similar apps such as Focus Friend or Forest, which use active timers to police screen time, my app is an inversion that works like an idle game; All screen time is tracked all day, (with dou…

How are you able to track all screen time on an iOS device? I had thought the APIs to do this aren't available.

DailySelfTrack app: https://dailyselftrack.com/

DailySelfTrack is a customizable combination of habit tracker, health journal and diary.

It should be as powerful as a spreadsheet for self-tracking, but the daily usability should be more on par with a habit tracker app.

For example my use-case would be:

- Journaling in a way that fits into what I need. (Gratitude, bullet point jounal)

- Analysing my health and understand how things might relate to each other. (State of multiple health issues)

- Support for moving closer towards achieving my goals. (Daily focus sessions, no-phone mornings, learning Korean)

Coding agents have changed how I build. Constantly switching between the terminal and an IDE started to feel inefficient, so I wanted a better terminal-first setup where I could manage multiple agent sessions and make quick edits without the overhead of a full IDE. So I built Helm for myself: https://github.com/samirkhoja/helm

Outside of the day job (PM at an enterprise SaaS company), I've been building an AI-native CLI for Todoist [1]. Started to solve a personal problem, automating action item extraction from my Obsidian notes, but it's become something bigger. The CLI treats both humans and AI agents as first-class users: TTY-aware output, a schema command for agent discovery, idempotent operations, that kind of thing.

It's been a great excuse to get back to my roots as an engineer and lean into some of the newnew with Claude Code. Learning a ton, having a blast, and also enabling being (marginally) more productive with my actual work day to day.

MinusPod is a self-hosted server that removes ads before you ever hit play. It transcribes episodes with Whisper, uses an LLM to detect and cut ad segments, and gets smarter over time by building cross-episode ad patterns and learning from your corrections. Bring your own LLM -- Claude, Ollama, OpenRouter, or any OpenAI-compatible provider.

Over the past few weeks, I have been building an AI coding tool in Go. The core loop is straightforward: accept a natural-language instruction, let the LLM interpret intent, then execute coding work through tools such as file read/write, code search, and terminal commands.

As of now, I haven't come across any agent coding tools written in Go, but I have always thought that Go is an excellent language and is very suitable for building any CLI tools.

Currently, I have added harness constraints to the agent by exposing hooks and implementing monitoring during the agent's working lifecycle. I think this will enable a clear division of responsibilities between the agent and the harness. The agent is the smallest execution core, while the harness acts as the execution agent for the agent and imposes constraints on its behavior.
