Ali makes small, opinionated apps from a desk in Melbourne, Australia. Three of them are listed here.

Software engineer by day, vibe coder Someone who knows exactly what the finished thing has to do, and brings real engineering practice to getting there: reading and understanding the code rather than trusting it, and closing gaps and vulnerabilities as they appear rather than after launch. With the right systems around it, AI tooling turns concept into production in a fraction of the usual time. by night

Hussainya

Community life, out of the group chat

Hussainya gathers the practical side of Shia community life into one calm place. Instead of chasing events through group chats and screenshots, you browse the Islamic centres across Australia, follow the ones you attend, and their events fill a calendar beside the month’s occasions. Prayer times, the direction to pray, and counters for the everyday things sit in the same app, alongside home screen widgets for the next prayer and today’s events.

↗ Hussainya, in full

In use
  • Follow a centre and its events fill your calendar
  • Prayer times you can match to your own centre
  • Host a private gathering with one invite link
  • Centres publish events and see who is coming

MovieWindows

A proper library for the films already on your drive

Point it at the folders where your films and episodes live, and it becomes a library you browse from the sofa: posters, plots, cast, seasons, episodes, and whatever you left half-finished. Files that defeat other players still open, and subtitles match your exact copy, so they stay in step. It can also add public domain films. Your phone plays the same library, or keeps titles for a flight.

↗ MovieWindows, in full

In use
  • Messy filenames become posters, cast and seasons
  • Plays the files other players refuse
  • The same library on your phone, and saved for trips

Entry 3 of 3

Reader

Four kinds of book file, one way to read them

Reader takes ebooks, PDFs, documents and plain text and turns them into one library where every book opens the same way, with the typeface, size, spacing, margins and page colour you set. Attach a recording you own, or have the app read the book aloud in a voice you choose. Change the type size and both your highlights and your place stay on the same words.

↗ Reader, in full

In use
  • Reads aloud in a voice you pick and follows the words
  • Turns scanned pages into text you can search
  • Nothing you read or write leaves the device
