    I use the Claude Code web interface a lot, it's great for picking up sessions on the go, continuing work from my phone, or just when I don't want to open a terminal. But there was one thing that kept annoying me: the tab switching. Every time Claude pushed a change, I'd switch to the Netlify tab, refresh, check the result, switch back, type feedback. Tools like Lovable figured this out a while ago; they put the live preview right next to the chat. So I built a Chrome extension that does the same thing for Claude Code: a resizable panel that sits alongside your conversation and shows your…

    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…

    Paste in my prompt to Claude Code with an embedded API key for accessing my public readonly SQL+vector database, and you have a state-of-the-art research tool over Hacker News, arXiv, LessWrong, and dozens of other high-quality public commons sites. Claude whips up the monster SQL queries that safely run on my machine, to answer your most nuanced questions. There's also an Alerts functionality, where you can just ask Claude to submit a SQL query as an alert, and you'll be emailed when the ultra nuanced criteria is met (and the output changes). Like I want to know when somebody posts about…

    I got tired of sharing AI demos with terminal screenshots or screen recordings. Claude Code already stores full session transcripts locally as JSONL files. Those logs contain everything: prompts, tool calls, thinking blocks, and timestamps. I built a small CLI tool that converts those logs into an interactive HTML replay. You can step through the session, jump through the timeline, expand tool calls, and inspect the full conversation. The output is a single self-contained HTML file — no dependencies. You can email it, host it anywhere, embed it in a blog post, and it works on mobile. Repo:…

    I got tired of Claude Code forgetting all my context every time I open a new session: set-up decisions, how I like my margins, decision history. etc. We built a shared memory layer you can drop in as a Claude Code Skill. It’s basically a tiny memory DB with recall that remembers your sessions. Not magic. Not AGI. Just state. Install in Claude Code: /plugin marketplace add https://github.com/mutable-state-inc/ensue-skill /plugin install ensue-memory # restart Claude Code What it does: (1) persists context between sessions (2) semantic & temportal search (not just…

    *Claude Code History Viewer – A macOS Desktop App for Reviewing Claude Code History at a Glance* Hello everyone, I have a habit of reviewing my coding history when working with AI. It's important to trace back and understand "how did I get to this result?" Recently, while using Claude Code, I found it quite inconvenient to check the history in separate terminal tabs or editor windows. So I built a desktop app called *Claude Code History Viewer* using *Tauri + React + Rust*. ## Key Features & Highlights * *Claude Code Conversation History Visualization* When you install Claude Code,…
