What it does

Rubber duck debugging. But the duck talks back. Your rubber duck now has Claude and opinions. Duck Duck Duck listens in on your coding sessions, understands what's happening, and responds.

Your rubber duck now has Claude and opinions . Duck Duck Duck listens in on your coding sessions, understands what's happening, and responds. Limitation of liability: We are not responsible for any emotional damage caused by the duck's opinions of your variable names. Duck Duck Duck doesn't just relay what's happening. Most of the time he's ambivalent, but do something right and he's the first to spray the champagne. Do something wrong and he's filled with nothing but biting wisecracks. Toggle between Permissions mode when you want help tracking when Claude gets stuck and Companion mode when you want a duck sharing its inner monologue on how you engage with Claude. Just say "ducky" followed…from duck-duck-duck.edges.ideo.com

  • With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
