This is an extremely clunky and buggy prerelease, so don't try to hot fix prod from the toilet without a different mobile frontend. Right now: - You can't interrupt Claude (you press stop and he keeps going!) - At best it stops but just keeps spinning - The UI disconnects intermittently - It disconnects if you switch to other parts of Claude - It can get stuck in plan mode - Introspection is poor - You see XML in the…

That's a bummer. I was looking forward to testing this, but that seems pretty limiting. My current solution uses Tailscale with Termius on iOS. It's a pretty robust solution so far, except for the actual difficulty of reading/working on a mobile screen. But for the most part, input controls work. My one gripe with Termius is that I can't put text directly into stdin using the default iOS voice-to-text feature baked i…

I've been using email and Cloudeflare email router. You don't get the direct feedback of a terminal, but it's much easier to read what's happening in html formatted email.

It also feels kind of nice to just fire off an email and let it do it's thing.

I also do this!

Struggled with it also, given up (for now).

I thought coding was a solved problem Boris?

I’ve been doing this for a while [1], but ultimately settled on a building a thin transport layer for Telegram to accept and return media, and persistent channels, vastly improved messaging UX, etc. and ended up turning this into a ‘claw with a heartbeat and SOUL [2].

I really enjoyed reading both posts. Thanks for sharing! I, like many others, have written my own "claw" implementation, but it's stagnated a bit. I use it through Slack, but the idea of journaling with it is compelling. Especially when combined with the recent "two sentence" journaling article[1] that floated through HN not too long ago.

Happy you liked it! Always really nice to get positive feedback.

I’ll have to check out the journaling article. I’ve been journaling a lot more lately!

Sounds like something that was vibe coded :)

I'm willing to bet most of their libraries are definitely vibe coded. I'm using the claude-agent-sdk and there are quite a few bugs and some weird design decisions. And looking through the actual python code it's definitely not what I would classify 'best practice'. Bunch of imports in functions, switching on strings instead of enums, etc.

I had to downgrade to an earlier release because an update introduced a regression where they weren't handling all of their own event types.

Too many limitations, for now I'll stick with self-hosted https://github.com/tiann/hapi and Tailscale

What are the drawbacks of HAPI? Seems too good to be true. Will give it a try.

My needs are very basic and it hasn’t failed me yet, I like that it doesn’t try to do much. I know it has voice capabilities through eleven labs but I haven’t used that feature.

Seinfeld way syndicated. It aired for a long time on TBS. But also Comedy Central after 2021, Nick at Nite briefly and TV Land more recently. I'm not sure what your point is.

Seinfeld only ran until 1998. Not sure what people buying the rights in 2021 has to do with the OP's comment.

Claude Code Team: Please fix the core experience instead of branching out into all these tertiary features. I know it is fun and profit to release new features but you need to go deeper into features not broader into there be dragons territory.

This is a classic case of vibe coding gets you 80% of the way there, but polishing takes the other 80%.

Weird all these companies struggle so much to support remote services, ssh has been working for me pretty seamlessly for like the 20 years I've been using it and has allowed me to remote-control any computer I own with relatively reliable authentication (with some hiccups that tend to be patched pretty rapidly when found) throughout that entire period. I hear tell it worked even before I was using computers professionally, too
