Earlier quoted context omitted.

Android is a tiny market

You probably mean 'in the US', where iOS is 58%. Android has a 71% global market share.

No. Why do user counts matter? High user count but with >4x thriftiness / aversion to spending is not an attractive market over iOS.

Globally in dollars spent, not human heads. iOS is over 2x larger than Android globally, and the gap is widening year over year.

iOS spending growth outpaces Android, which even shrunk during covid while iOS spending continued to grow

Anthropic makes money off product sales, not ad revenue, so wallets count more than eyes for this. Free users who are less than 25% as likely to spend are a burden not to be prioritized for a product business with free tier access. They need to spend much more to get a paying user on Android.

If Android were the bigger market, they'd prioritize it

I've been using Happy Coder[0] for some time now on web and mobile. I run it `--yolo` mode on an isolated VM across multiple projects.

With Happy, I managed to turn one of these Claude Code instances into a replacement for Claude that has all the MCP goodness I could ever want and more.

This is quite nice! I'm using Claude Code locally a lot, occasionally with a couple parallel session. I was very happy when they made the GitHub Action - I used it quite a bit, but in practice I got frustrated that I effectively only get a single back-and-forth out of it, I can't really "continue the conversation without losing context" - Sure, I can respond to it in the PR it makes, but that will be a fresh session…

Check out Crystal if you want a good tool for managing parallel sessions locally https://github.com/stravu/crystal

This looks nice! I’ve been using terminus + tailscale to get similar results, but I’ll give this a go

I had a preview of this over the weekend, notes here plus some example PRs: https://simonwillison.net/2025/Oct/20/claude-code-for-web/

It's really solid. It's effectively a web (and native mobile) UI over Claude Code CLI, more specifically "claude --dangerously-skip-permissions".

Anthropic have recognized that Claude Code where you don't have to approve every step is massively more productive and interesting than the default, so it's worth investing a lot of resources in sandboxing.

Very curious to see what usage limits are like for paid plans. Anthropic was already experiencing issues with high-volume model usage for Pro and Max users. I hope their infrastructure is able to adequately support running these additional coding environments on top of model inference. Just to be clear, I'm excited for the capability to use Claude Code entirely within the browser. However, I've heard reports of Max u…

I suspect the release of Claude Haiku 4.5 was done to help reduce usage costs for Anthropic and any use of Claude Code will differ to it if capacity is limited. EDIT: I had meant defer which is the first time I've made a /r/boneappletea in awhile

"differ"? did you mean "default"?

I got so used to having Claude Code read some of my MCP tools, and was bummed to see that it couldn't connect to them yet on the web.

Pretty cool though! Will need to use it for some more isolated work/code edits. Claude Code is now my workhorse for a ton of stuff including non-coding work (esp. with the right MCPs)
