While building apps or any platform, Have you ever considered how to control app accessibility?
For example:
- Displaying an update in-app notification when an update is available.
- Forcing an update for versions below a specific threshold or disconnecting old version from accessing API (like Telegram did years ago to block outdated versions).
- Restricting access for banned users.
- Blocking access for specific countries or users and showing an undismissible alert (like TikTok).

The Burnt Toast Theory π
The Burnt Toast Theory suggests that people often settle for less than they deserve because theyβre unwilling to wait or put in the effort to achieve something better.
For example:
π₯ͺ If you burn your toast/bread in the morning, the delay might help you avoid a car crash or traffic jam.
π The time you spend looking for your lost shoes or socks at dorm could save you from an accident or lead you to meet someone special on the street.
β³ Being late for a class might mean you bump into someone who changes the course of your life.
βοΈ Waiting in a long cafΓ© queue could give you time to reconnect with an old friend.
So, remember: sometimes what feels like a negative event can turn into a positive outcome.

I love Telegram bots! When I joined AASTU as a freshman, one of my side projects was to build a Telegram translation bot. Initially, I wanted to create an Amharic translator from scratch, but that wasnβt feasible, so I used APIs and focused on the bot. The bot features live translation using Telegramβs inline query.
Now, Telegram bots are reaching another level with web apps. Before moving forward, Iβm open-sourcing all the old bots Iβve developed. Iβve merged everything into one bot: @horan_ai_bot.
It includes:
Free translation, Grammar fix, Media management (YouTube, TikTok downloader)
Think of it as multiple bots in one! The main client bot is built with Node.js, and the API bot (for YouTube, TikTok, Instagram downloader) is built with Python and Flask.
Iβve already open-sourced the client bot:
π https://github.com/gemechis-elias/HoranAI
Iβll clean up the code for the APIs and open-source them soon. To host the bots and APIs, youβll need a server that supports Node.js 20+ and Python 3.11.

This client bot mainly help you to get organized code for user management (with backend Supabase), telegram bot inline buttons, inline query, and for grammar fix you only need to paste your OpenAI API Key.

Tech-Related Information π©βπ»
The first and second versions of the AASTU Student's App were built in Java/Android SDKπ©βπ» during 2021-22.
This year, we migrated everything to Flutterπ©βπ» for better efficiency and multi-OS support. The app is built on Flutter v3.24.3 and for telegram mini web app we run on Flutter 3.27.1 (iOS browser scroll fix) and hosted on Firebase. However, we developed a separate backend for email confirmation, user management, and other functionalities. This backend is built with Node.js.π©βπ»
For the UI design, we used FlutterFlow, which allowed us to design the interface easily and generate Flutter code. This tool helped us create this beautiful UI in just 3-4 days, though FlutterFlow is a paid software.
The project is entirely open-source under the GPL-3.0 license, which requires copyleft. This means any derivative work you build must also be open-source.
π» github.com/chisa-dev/aastu-students-app-v4
We understand that most developers are not familiar with FlutterFlow, so soon, we will convert all components into pure Flutter widgets for easier accessibility.
