Oyster Bot

I wanted Claude Code on my phone without running extra infrastructure. Existing solutions felt heavy..gateway servers, native apps, etc. This is a Telegram bot that spawns the Claude CLI and pipes responses back to you. Clone, npm install, add your bot token, run it. Works with Claude Pro/Max (no API key required). You can whitelist users, restrict which tools Claude can access, and add custom commands via plugins. Only ~400 lines of JS.

What it does

Oyster Bot is a lightweight Telegram bot that wraps the Claude Code CLI, letting you chat with Claude from your phone. It’s a simple bridge between Claude Code and chat — easy to understand, easy to lock down, and easy to extend with small plugins and minimal configuration.

    Hey HN! I'm one of the developers of Termly. Problem: I love using Claude Code for development, but being chained to my laptop all day wasn't working. SSH + terminal emulators felt clunky for interactive AI coding sessions. Solution: Built a WebSocket relay that mirrors your AI coding session to mobile with zero-knowledge E2E encryption. How it works: 1. npm install -g @termly-dev/cli 2. termly start (wraps your AI tool) 3. Scan QR code with mobile app 4. Your session syncs in real-time, encrypted end-to-end Tech stack: • Open source CLI (MIT licensed) - inspect the code yourself •…

  • Claude-replay – A video-like player for Claude Code sessionsMar 2026 · github.com · ▲105

    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:…

  • Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
