[Start a project](https://morethancoder.com/contact) [See my work](https://morethancoder.com/projects) Poked 1636 times by 26 people 5.0 from 5 players ## What I build In the order I love building them. Everything fast, light and simple to use, because that's what people come back to. - 01 ### Telegram bots My home turf. Lightweight bots that stay fast when a post goes viral and thousands of people hit start at once. I've built them for creators for years. - 02 ### Backends and APIs The quiet part that makes everything work: APIs, background jobs, payments and data, designed to be fast and pleasant to build on. - 03 ### Telegram Mini Apps Full apps inside Telegram. Your users are already signed in, and digital goods can be paid for with Telegram. A great fit for small businesses. - 04 ### Web apps and SaaS Sites, dashboards and SaaS products with a premium feel, from the landing page to the admin panel. Desktop and mobile apps too, when they're the right tool for the job. ## Selected work Everything I build, grouped by the kind of work. Jump to your part.

I prefer voice notes to calls: we can both replay them, and nothing gets lost. 2. 2 ### Demo, research and a plan I ask my questions, then come back with a demo, a short research paper and a plan with time and cost. 3. 3 ### Weekly demos You see real progress every week, not a big reveal at the end. 4. 4 ### Launch, and I stick around Free fixes and support after launch: hosting, setup, and showing your team how to use it. ## Software that does more good than harm A lot of software takes more from people than it gives back. I want to build the other kind, the kind that actually helps, so I'm picky about what I take on. I also share what I learn, on YouTube and here, so more people can build software that's fast, clean and good for the people using it. Keep it stupid simple. And with great power comes great responsibility. ![Old drafting tools laid out on a table](https://morethancoder.com/static/assets/site/cta.jpg) ### Have an idea worth building? - Saturday to Thursday, 9 am to 6 pm Iraq time - Replies within hours on Telegram, email once a day - English or Arabic, whichever you prefer [Message me on Telegram](https://t.me/morethancoder) [Or leave a note](https://morethancoder.com/contact) --- The whole site in one file: https://morethancoder.com/llms-full.txt · Hire Ali: https://morethancoder.com/contact
