Switched from Claude to ChatGPT? (For whatever reason. Not judging.) Wish you could get that soothing Claude font and color scheme?

(Applaud here.)

I got frustrated with Claude's official platform limitations - conversations disappearing, no customization options, and clunky file handling. So I built my own interface over a weekend! GitHub: https://github.com/chihebnabil/claude-ui What it does: - Saves all conversations locally (SQLite + Drizzle ORM) - Lets you customize Claude's personality per chat - Handles file attachments properly + caching input tokens - Dark/light mode - No conversation limits - Markdown & code syntax highlighting Tech stack is pretty simple: - Nuxt 3 for the frontend - Anthropic's SDK…

Bindly▲76Hi HN, I’m a product designer by background, not a traditional software engineer. Over the last year, tools like Claude and ChatGPT completely changed how I work. I started with small internal tools, and now I’m “vibe coding” multiple highly personalized apps. As I iterated between Claude Code (implementation) and ChatGPT (ideation / thinking), I kept running into the same problem. To think clearly, I had to repeatedly re-explain: - what the code currently does, - what changed recently, - and why certain decisions were made. That re-summarization step became a real bottleneck. So I…

GPTRecap▲134I always loved seeing my Spotify Wrapped every year and wondered why doesn’t ChatGPT have something similar? So I built GPTRecap: paste your exported file and instantly see your top topics, total messages, and more. All core features run 100% in your browser, no account, no data stored. Premium insights (like deeper topic analysis) are processed via OpenAI, but nothing is saved on our servers. Would love feedback! What stats would you want to see next?

AlliHat▲96I think we all have a similar flow and pain with browsers and AI. Copy article, paste in Claude tab, come back to article, back to Claude, in circles we go. Anthropic has a Chrome extension, but my daily driver is Safari. So I made my own extension. It's not a clone as I've never used the Chrome version. One obvious change: the Chrome version I believe uses Chrome "request sidebar" thing. And Safari doesn't have that, so had to inject the sidebar right in the site html itself. There's been some fun things in here like figuring out the sidebar html/css sandboxing. Also there's an agent…

Anthropic recently released a new model called Claude. As I was unable to access this model, I noticed a lot of discussions on Twitter regarding comparisons and use cases of Claude and ChatGPT. To keep track of these conversations, I created a repository that compiles information on the following topics: * Comparisons between Claude and ChatGPT * Use cases * Limitations of Claude Check it out and please create a bug/PR if more threads can be added: https://github.com/taranjeet/awesome-claude

Hey all! Few weeks ago we realized AI models are now so good you don't need to babysit them anymore. You can kick off a coding task at lunch and Claude Code just... works. But then you're stuck at your desk steering it. We were joking around - wouldn't it be cool to grab coffee and keep chatting with Claude from your phone? Next thing you know, 4 of us are hacking on weekends to make it happen. Dead simple to try: "npm install -g happy-coder" then run "happy" instead of "claude". That's it. We had three goals: * Don't break anyone's flow - Use Claude Code normally at your desk, pick up your…

This is far from complete, and I am far from an elisp genius, but this is an Emacs package to help you write code or text or whatever in your favourite operating system slash text editor. It's got a couple of useful functions like inserting at point with local code context, querying about something and putting the output in a temporary buffer, passing the current major mode to ChatGPT, contextual system prompts, and so on. Some small demos in the readme. Some of you may enjoy the deep magic this might unleash, so I'm posting it here. And feel free to add pull requests if you are a better…

I kept running into this annoying problem: I’d remember a really useful answer, but not where it was. ChatGPT? Claude? Gemini? No idea. So I’d end up digging through all of them or just rewriting the prompt. Built this to fix that. It’s a Chrome extension that indexes chats locally and lets you search across them all in one place. Once it’s indexed, search is basically instant. Still early. UIs change and break things sometimes, so it’s a bit fragile in places. Curious if other people have the same issue or if it’s just me jumping between tools too much.
