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

I’ve done this forever on Foqos. Have a makefile, never even open Xcode and the instructions are in the agents md

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.

Thank HN: You helped make Foqos a success, 100k downloads and 4k+ reviews, 4.9/5

awaseem — Wed, 22 Oct 2025 03:05:05 +0000

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

Might be a dumb question, but what is metal? Are you folks hosting DBs on your own infra or still going through AWS/GCP

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?
