After decades of dictatorship, Syria is rebuilding. See which services have opened their doors and which haven't yet.
Most sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025. Most digital services haven't caught up. Of 826 services we've tracked, 626 still restrict access from Syria.

I worked on this tool in an afternoon (with GLM 4.6) to solve a problem I'm facing: in some workspaces, AI coding assistants aren't allowed, forcing you to use web-based chatbots or local LLMs . To get meaningful help, you need to provide context about your codebase, but manually copying files is tedious.
While there are great tools like Gitingest and Repomix, they require installing packages which isn't straightforward in air-gapped work environments! I wanted something more portable - just a shell script that works anywhere you have a terminal.
That's exactly why I prefer blogs over the fake social media. Being exposed to people's perspective makes one prone to show what people want, not what he truly want and believe. Keep blogging and writing.
