I'm Jalal Maskoun, a founder and technology builder focused on AI, agentic systems, automation, and the future of work.

I'm based in the MENA region (Middle East and North Africa), where I'm interested in building technology and exploring how AI can change the way companies are built and operated.

I'm particularly interested in AI-native companies, autonomous agents, software, startups, automation, organizational design, and the evolution of knowledge work.

I spend a lot of time thinking about how AI agents can move beyond being tools and become part of the operating infrastructure of a company — executing workflows, coordinating work, and helping organizations operate with less administrative overhead.

I share ideas and lessons from building and exploring technology, startups, AI, and the MENA ecosystem.

I thought she resigned not opinion article asking her to resign.

thanks for the info
jimmy2020··on Telegram reaches 500M users and adds 25M new users this past 72 hours
why people trust Telegram more now? Is it safe from Russian government intervention?
jimmy2020··on Twitter condemns censorship caused by Ugandan election results
Depends on who is rejecting the results.
jimmy2020··on How Silicon Valley destroyed Parler
Wow, just keep getting downvoted because I think we should be allowed to criticize and discuss big tech decisions on the biggest community for tech. Thanks!
jimmy2020··on Show HN: A cool Drag-and-Drop implementation for Svelte
React kit is an implementation of Shopify's famous package: https://github.com/Shopify/draggable It's great but complicated with strict API. While react-beautiful-dnd is so React-ish. To manipulate DOM you need pure js with a solution can expose DOM elements to you because you probably need to do more than dragging an element on your layout.

Can any big tech companies condemn Uighurs concentration camps or this fine because there's a lot of $$ in China and it is xenophobic to even mention it.

I share your disappointment and I'd like to invite you to DFlex (https://github.com/jalal246/dflex). It's not perfect and in the development process but I think it's a real alternative to native-like API focused on performance and easy implementation. It's just a pure js. So every fix should enhance all framework implementations. Decoupled with a separate package to prevent a bloated bundle. Work with mouse event, so nothing new to learn. And most importantly it's just a utility. You can use what you want. Finally, it doesn't sort, move,s or whatsoever. Node positions are stored separately. Each movement calculates the current position and triggers any effect that movement caused. So It may cause "dragging only with zero effect" Or "Switch with another element". It has also container/children architecture. So you can drag a child, or parent..etc

Edit: I have implementation for React and Vue but not for Svelet. So if anyone is interested let me know.

And congrats to Isaac for this nice work dedicated to Svelte community.

jimmy2020··on Ask HN: Who's looking for a co-founder?
It's very broad description find it hard to know what are you exactly looking for
jimmy2020··on Ask HN: Who's looking for a co-founder?
I read you post twice and didn't understand what you are looking for
jimmy2020··on Ask HN: What do you do when have free time?
Being anxious about the future
jimmy2020··on WebTorrent – Torrents on the Web
how this is different from any torrent client like qbittorrent for instance
jimmy2020··on Ask HN: What is the right way to test your product idea while having a day job?
I've been working on https://github.com/jalal246/dflex along with a paid job. But I made it clear that it's an open-source project. maybe it's different if you are not working on open source. About time management, I can't really tell. Spent the last year working all day, 24/7. Currently, I am experiencing burn out with another side effect including insomnia. So I recommend having a balanced life. Don't push yourself too much and play the long terms.
jimmy2020··on Ask HN: Does anyone else feel like staying off HN for a bit?
yes, and i think the first post is criticizing HN content.

jimmy2020··on Big Banks to halt funding the Republicans who objected to the election results
1- This is from the story title "..pause funding to Republicans who objected to Electoral College" So I didn't invent something new. 2- CNN story has exactly the same title that I chose here. 3- the story itself about Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley.

Yet, you see it differently, because there's "all". And blame me for the poor choice. Well, I didn't see that coming.

jimmy2020··on Big Banks to halt funding the Republicans who objected to the election results
so did the title here, it’s clear and accurate. I recommend reading the full story though before accusing me of being inaccurate.
jimmy2020··on Big Banks to halt funding the Republicans who objected to the election results
This is the subtitle form wsj:

"JPMorgan and Citigroup to halt all PAC donations; Blue Cross and Marriott pause funding to Republicans who objected to Electoral College results"

edit:

This is from CNN: Corporate America halts donations to Republicans who voted to overturn the election https://edition.cnn.com/2021/01/10/business/citigroup-bluecr...

jimmy2020··on Big Banks to halt funding the Republicans who objected to the election results
It's from the Subtitle and the content of the article. How is it inaccurate?
jimmy2020··on Big Banks to halt funding the Republicans who objected to the election results
But this is not a regulation for all politicians. It's finishing what's big tech has already started.

jimmy2020··on Show HN: DOM registry for a better DOM Manipulation
Hello Everyone.

I’ve been working on a project called DFlex: https://github.com/jalal246/dflex that contains multiple packages all written in Pure JavaScript to manipulate DOM elements in a completely new way depends on creating a DOM registry.

The ultimate result is moving every element from destination to target with CSS animation. This means all possible operations should be done in 60fps.

It is also extendable. In most existing solutions the more elements you are trying to manipulate the more lagging you get. Here, no matter how many elements you are dealing with it’s always going to interpret each movement to CSS transform without asking the browser to get the node for each request. It is not restricted to any frameworks I have examples for React and Vue with some explanations inside each package. And maybe add more later. It includes:

  • DOM Generator DOM relations generator algorithm.
  • DOM Store Traverse through the DOM tree using element id.
  • Drag & Drop Lightweight Solution for a Drag & Drop App based on enhanced store algorithm.
  • Draggable High-performance draggable elements.
  • Unit test & end to end test
  • Packages are decoupled and work separately. Each package has it own universe including test and playground
There's a lot to add and improve with new packages. I am looking for contributors who like to get involved in open source. So, if you are interested, open an issue, or pull request. I need your support. Thank you!

I thought exactly the same.
jimmy2020··on Google suspending Parler from the Google Play store
is it about legality though?
jimmy2020··on Apple has threatened to ban Parler from the App Store
Did they do the same thing with FB after Cambridge Analytica? or is it about a social platform going big and popular and should be taken down to keep the current status quo.
