Japanese engineers developed a “Sword Tip Visualization System” for the Fencing World Championships, and it makes fencing look absolutely incredible to watch.
Someone built an API whose only job is to say no.
You send it a request. It sends back a rejection. That's the entire product.
It's called No-as-a-Service. NaaS.
1,000+ rejection reasons. All curated. All devastating.
Here's what it returns:
- "This feels like something Future Me would yell at Present Me for agreeing to."
- "I only function on coffee and denial, and I'm out of coffee."
- "If I agree, I’d need to clone myself. And I don’t trust him."
- "I have a personal policy of saying no on days ending in 'y'."
Need to reject a meeting? NaaS.
Need to decline a date? NaaS.
Need to say no to your boss without getting fired? Believe it or not, also NaaS.
Here's the wildest part:
Developers loved it so much they built an entire ecosystem around it.
- A Slack bot that responds with /no in team channels
- A Signal bot for automated rejections
- An iOS app on the App Store called "Nope App"
- An Android app that gives you excuses on demand
- A Raycast extension so you can reject things from your launcher
- An MCP plugin so your AI assistant says no for you
6,500+ developers starred a joke. 408 people forked it to build their own ways to say no.
The license reads: "MIT -- do whatever, just don't say yes when you should say no."
The most honest software ever written. Its only job is to say no. And it does it beautifully.
100% Open Source.
