Open Source at Foshati: Developer Tools for Faster, Friendlier Coding

Most of what I build starts as a fix for something that annoys me every day. When a fix turns out useful, I publish it under the MIT license on GitHub. Here is a tour of the projects, what problem each one solves, and where to start.

AI & coding agents

codefa — a local AI proxy for coding agents

Run Claude Code and OpenAI Codex CLI against almost any provider: OpenRouter, DeepSeek, Gemini, Groq, NVIDIA NIM, or a fully local model in Ollama or LM Studio. codefa translates each agent's native protocol, injects the right settings when it launches the agent, and gives you an Admin UI with live request logs on 127.0.0.1:8090. Keys stay in a local file, with zero telemetry.

Editor extensions

These work in VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf and Antigravity, and are published on Open VSX.

RTL Agents

Proper right-to-left rendering for AI chat panels in Persian, Arabic and Hebrew — code blocks and tables stay LTR, there's no flicker while replies stream, and deactivating restores every file exactly. Full article →

Git Opener

Open the current repository — or the current file at the exact line — in your browser with one click. Supports GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and self-hosted instances. Perfect for sharing a link to a line in code review.

RNX Snippets

Professional React and Next.js snippets for components, hooks and App Router files, so you type less boilerplate and more product.

Desktop apps

Camly

A free screen recorder, screenshot tool and webcam recorder for macOS, Windows and Linux (X11), built with Tauri 2, Rust and React. Compact recordings by default, saved locally, no account required. Full article →

Termfa

A fast, ultra-lightweight macOS terminal emulator powered by Rust and Tauri.

Starters & templates

sassfa-start-nextjsFull

Modern, open-source starter templates for Next.js 16 full-stack and SaaS projects — the foundation I reuse to start new products quickly.

The common thread

Looking across these projects, a few principles keep showing up:

1. Local first. Your recordings, your API keys and your code stay on your machine unless you choose otherwise.
2. No lock-in. codefa makes the AI model a setting. Camly writes standard MP4/MOV files. Extensions uninstall cleanly.
3. Respect for RTL users. As a Persian-speaking developer, I build tools that treat right-to-left languages as first-class rather than an afterthought.
4. Small and fast. Rust, Tauri, FastAPI and uvloop were chosen because they keep apps lightweight.

How you can help

• ⭐ Star the projects you find useful — it genuinely helps others discover them.
• 🐛 Open issues with clear reproduction steps; they're the fastest way to make a tool better.
• 🔧 Contribute: new codefa providers, Camly translations and platform testing, and editor-compatibility reports for RTL Agents are especially welcome.
