Most of the Synchronet enhancements and all the terminal-graphics doors I've written over the past 9 months are so (and demoed on YouTube) have been vibe coded using Claude.

Probably not useful to many people, but I vibe coded three card games and
some small apps that are useful to me. www.tiestudio.ca

100% vibe coded, 100% web designed and written by claude.

Very cool. Thanks for sharing ... I have not done any Games yet, that would be fun process I think.

I have a photo gallery on my web site written in PHP from circa 2002. It started throwing up errors as syntax in the scripts became deprecated.

I ran it through Claude Code and it updated the code to "modern" PHP in
about 10 minutes.



... When in doubt, predict that the trend will continue.

I've done a few things. My big project is to currently make an AI assistant/personal knowledge base. This weekend I set up a system called "Openbin", and configured it so I can take a picture of a box/tote/drawer/storage container, and it will figure out what's in the picture, catalog it, and assign the container a number. If I ask, it will print a label to attach to the container/drawer. I can then say something like "Skippy, where are my PL-259 connectors?"

Skippy will reply with: "Dumdum, 18 PL-259 connectors for LMR-400 coax are in the drawer labeled 'RAD004' on the north storage wall in your office."

Then "Skippy, I used 2 PL-259s from RAD004" Skippy will reply with "Used them? Are you sure you attached them right? If so, go get yourself a juice box. I've removed them from the inventory, you now have 16 PL-259 connectors in the drawer labeled 'RAD004'"

(Skippy is based on the AI from Craig Alanson's "Expeditionary Force" series)

Claude is exceptionally good at taking a well-written spec and implementing it.
To that end, I gave it some ITU specs and had it build better data and fax softmodems on top of the venerable spandsp library. I'm planning to connect the
datamodem to my BBS for dial-in access. The faxmodem is for a work project.

Claude code is pretty decent. Codex has been absolutely useless for me. Ohmypi (at omp.sh) and Hermes have been really good. I'd recommend trying them both out.

I've probably lost track of all the things I've had LLMs make me. I've got an image hoster that I can send pics to from either Android or IOS, a "clipboard page" that I can share text/links to for clicking on from another computer (like the on the TV), an Android app that tracks things, an Android app that monitors a room and alerts on noise/movement, an APRS client that works with hardware TNCs as well as APRS-IS, a bunch of games, monitoring dashboards, an MCP server for ISS tracking, and I know there are plenty more that I'm not thinking of.. Oh, console/text chat interfaces, a self-hosted push notifications server that works through any modern browser, a BBSing terminal in an ESP32-based conference badge, and still more I'm not remembering.

Feel like putting those up somewhere? Would love to test that out.

I wrote two things: A traffic profile app in Go (it reports on traffic on
a given interface and provides interface statistics) and what I hope will
be a shadow of {Commo}. The first is on GitHub and the other (also written
in Go) is still being tested. It seems to do the macros pretty well so
far, which is my main goal with it. If you're reading this, I used my app
to upload the REP file to the BBS! :D

Yeah, solved some FTN mail pkt issues with Claude a lot quicker. Not the
best at ANSI graphics though ..
