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.

Doesn't look like it has proper worktree management. UIs that abstract away worktrees are very powerful. I vibe coded my own (https://github.com/9cb14c1ec0/vibe-manager), which unfortunately doesn't have the remote component that hapi does.

I don't know a single person who is satisfied with the status quo on streaming services where you have to subscribe to multiple ones. Everyone is complaining that the landscape is 1) more fragmented than cable was, 2) costs more, 3) has even more ads than cable

I think people forgot how bad it was. It was much more fragmented before but instead of services it was fragmented by time. Sure you have access to Seinfeld, but you can watch one or two Seinfelds a night at 8pm and 11pm. I also remember base cable without any movies was around $60 or something and with some movie channels is >$100. And that's not inflation adjusted. You can easily get 3 or 4 of the top services for…

Not that it is particularly relevant to agentic coding but how can anyone truly argue streaming costs more? Average cable packages were exceeding 125-150 USD a month (in 2000 dollars). Under no circumstances would I be sympathetic to the argument that streaming costs more. You can get all 7 of the major streaming subs for less without even shopping out deals. That is 100s of times the volume and quality of content th…

I'm in central europe, atm 70 TV channels is $15/month.

You can't seriously claim points 2) and 3) if you've ever actually paid for and watched cable

Oh come on, now that I have a personal remote control already set up using hooks, specifically the PermissionRequest, and Home Assistant push notifications where I can allow or deny a specific action?

I'm trying to understand the setup you have here.

So your hook -> HA -> push notification? And then you just tap to approve?

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 use opencode web (server running on my desktop) and accessing it from my phone and it works well.

Running Claude Code from a phone just seems like a recipe for Alzheimer’s. Rest, then focus and build.

There are two types of software engineers: Those who do and then think, or those who think and then do. Claude Code seems to strictly be for the former, while typically the engineers who can maintain software long-term are the latter. Not sure if we have any LLM-tooling for the latter, seems to be more about how you use the tools we have available, but they're all pulling us to be "do first, think later" so unless yo…

This seems like a real coarse and not particularly accurate binary, but even if it were true, the thing about Claude Code and agentic coding like this is the cost of making a mistake or the cost of not being happy with a design and having to back it out is getting smaller and smaller.

I would argue that rapidly iterating reveals more about the problem, even for the most thoughtful of us. It's not like you check your own reasoning at the door when you just dive head first into something.

Regular claude code is already a remote access door to your setup, once you've granted a few command execution permissions. (e.g. if it can edit your code and run the test suite)

Yes and no: I hope (not verified) that regular claude code client only sends requests, and doesn't open ports for remote access

I wouldn't expect Remote Control to open any ports either
