Show HN: Turn human decisions into blocking tool-calls for AI agents (iOS+CLI)
WHY was I SSH’ing into my laptop from my phone at parties?!
Either I had a feature idea I wanted an agent to build right then, or I was worried my agents were blocked waiting on my decision.
It dawned on me: humans are just another dependency in an agent workflow, so I turned myself into a tool-call.
I built an iOS app (Extendo) where agents can reach me to request approvals, choices, or plan reviews. They just use a CLI tool and skill. My phone buzzes. I answer in seconds. The agent gets back to work.
The key: the agent blocks until you respond, and receives your answer along with your verbal feedback.
What you can do from your phone:
- approvals and checklists
- option buttons and rankings
- markdown plan reviews (tap-hold individual paragraphs to add voice comments is so satisfying!)
- kanban boards
- voice responses
- capture ideas on Apple Watch/Action Button and dispatch them to the right agent later
It’s a voice-first native iOS interface with push notifications. Push notifications are critical — the interaction needs to take seconds, not minutes.
```
extendo artifact create my_server implementation-choice --type multiple_choice --title "Where should we implement the rate limiter?" --option "backend:Backend API" --option "core:Core Library" --option "edge:Edge/CDN" --option "gateway:API Gateway"
```
If an agent can run bash, it can reach you.
I’ve been using it with Claude Code, OpenClaw, Pi, and custom scripts.
The backend protocol is open — you should self-host for tighter integration with your system (though there's a shared server available). There’s also an OpenClaw plugin and a Claude Code harness in the repo, a core library, and sample code to customize your own backend.
I used Extendo to build Extendo: design decisions, approvals, plan reviews, prioritization. Agents coded. I made decisions while walking the dog and between sets at the gym.

Show HN: SQL-tap now has a browser-based Web UI
Hi HN, I shared sql-tap here a few weeks ago — a transparent SQL proxy that captures every query and lets you inspect it in real-time. Thanks for the feedback last time.
Two big additions:
*Built-in Web UI* — Add `--http=:8080` and open your browser. It's a zero-dependency vanilla JS SPA embedded in the binary — nothing extra to install or deploy. Features:
- Real-time query stream via SSE - SQL syntax highlighting - Click to inspect details, run EXPLAIN / EXPLAIN ANALYZE - Query statistics view with normalized grouping (count, errors, avg/total duration) - Structured filter (`d>100ms`, `op:select`, `error`) - Transaction grouping (collapsible) - Slow query colorization - Pause / Clear controls - Export captured queries as JSON or Markdown - Copy query with bound args - N+1 detection (toast notification + row highlight)
*N+1 query detection* — sql-tap now automatically detects when the same SELECT template is executed 5+ times within 1 second (configurable). Both TUI and Web UI show flagged queries in real-time — every query in the pattern is marked, not just the first one. Thresholds, time window, and alert cooldown are all tunable via CLI flags. `--nplus1-threshold=0` to disable.
Other updates since v0.0.1:
*TUI improvements* - Structured filter mode (`f`): `d>100ms`, `op:select`, `error`, combinable with AND logic - Analytics view (`a`): aggregate queries by template, sort by total/count/avg duration - Export to file (`w`): save captured queries as JSON or Markdown - Copy with bound args (`C`): substitutes `$1`/`?` placeholders with actual values - Sort by duration (`s`), half-page scrolling (`Ctrl+d`/`Ctrl+u`) - Alert overlay for copy/export operations
*Database support* - TiDB support (`--driver=tidb`) - MySQL 9 compatibility - Fixed PostgreSQL binary parameter decoding (UUIDs, etc.)
The proxy works the same way: point your app at sql-tapd instead of your database, no code changes needed. It parses the native wire protocol to capture queries, prepared statements, transactions, and errors transparently.
Written in Go, single binary, install via Homebrew (`brew install --cask mickamy/tap/sql-tap`) or `go install`. This is a solo side project — if you find it useful, a star on GitHub would mean a lot.

Show HN: Rungs.dev – IDE for PLC AOIs with Structured Text and Ladder Logic
I’m building rungs.dev. The IDE runs at https://studio.rungs.dev
What it does now: - Build AOIs in Structured Text and Ladder Logic - Run in-browser simulation - Write and run AOI tests - Inspect trend-style execution data
Goal: faster AOI iteration for educational purposes.
Feedback wanted: - Which PLC concepts/workflows are hardest to learn? - What’s missing before this is useful for class/self-study? - Where this feels better or worse than existing tools?
