The Curious
Issue.
A small press of experiments by Afsal Ali.
AI tools, learning maps, cozy games, and quiet software — built for friends, family, and the odd stranger.
I don't know a lot of things. But I know my wife is a pharmacist, so I built her PharmaRab and Provia. I know my friends are physios, so I built them PhysioArab. I know Dubai's best meals are homemade, so I built NxtDoorChef. I know craft deserves every rupee, so I built CraftersUnited. I know I'm curious about AI agents, so I built Incubator.
Fifteen small things for people I know. Nothing here is a product deck. Each piece exists because a real person — usually someone I love — was stuck on something a spreadsheet couldn't fix. The through-line is the pull, not the stack.
- Reading
- How agents disagree without collapsing.
- Playing
- Cozy sims with weather but no failure.
- Trying
- Non-linear syllabi for adult learners.
- Avoiding
- Anything called a growth loop.
The line I'd never
say out loud.
I haven't moved in four hours. My spine has become a question mark. But the logic is pure.
Move to see. Sit to build. Repeat until the future arrives.
