AskUCP
On January 11th, Google and Shopify announced the Universal Commerce Protocol (ucp.dev). It's an open standard that lets any application query products across e-commerce platforms without needing APIs, integrations, or middlemen. AskUCP is one of the first applications built on it. Right now, if you want to buy something online, you have to know which store sells it. You go to Amazon, or you go to a Shopify store, or you go to Etsy. Each one has its own search, its own interface, its own checkout. The experience is fragmented because the infrastructure is siloed. UCP changes this at the…

In plain words
AskUCP is an explorer that displays products from Shopify stores using the Universal Commerce Protocol, an open standard announced by Google and Shopify that allows applications to query products across e-commerce platforms without requiring individual APIs or integrations. It serves as a single search interface for discovering products across multiple online stores in a standardized format. The application demonstrates how UCP enables unified product discovery without needing permission from each platform or custom middleman integrations.

From the sources
AskUCP is one of the first apps built on the Universal Commerce Protocol, an open standard announced by Google and Shopify on January 11th. (ucp.dev) Instead of searching store by store, AskUCP lets you search the entire Shopify ecosystem from a single interface. No APIs. No integrations. Just one search across millions of products. As more platforms adopt UCP, their catalogs become searchable too. This is what commerce looks like when silos disappear.
Search millions of products across the entire Shopify ecosystem through a single, intelligent interface. Built on the Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) for the future of agentic commerce.

Talanoa▲345Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
