The Claude Code TUI app is pretty solid. I use it heavily and I get great results from it. But with the mobile app, Claude Code remote is basically unusable (weird disconnect bugs) and Claude Code cloud has issues as well (UI hides approval confirmations; must reconnect to see them). So yeah, I imagine what you're saying is true. There are at least some major gaps in their QA process. It's ironically a pretty convinc…

I have a very different experience. Claude code tui is the worst tui I have ever used. How is it possible that an inactive tui regularly eats 8gb of ram, has freezing issues and rendering issues? If I wasn’t forced to use it I wouldn’t as there are better options available.

So many rendering issues...

As a slightly different tack, I’ve been using Copilot to generate flowcharts from some of the fiendishly complex (and badly written) standard operating procedures we have at work. People find them quite easy to check - easier than the raw document. My angle with teams is use these to check your processes. If the flow is wrong it’s either because the LLM has screwed up, or because the policy is wrong/badly written. It…

It’s interesting you mentioned that. One of the things I’ve started doing recently is throwing a large LLM such as codex-5.3 (highest level of reasoning) at some of the more complex systems we have to produce nicely formatted ASCII diagrams. I still review each diagram afterward, but the great thing is that, unlike image-based diagrams, they remain fully text-readable and searchable. And you can even expose them as p…

Copilot outputs Mermaid diagram markup for me - so the graphs are editable and importable into diagraming packages

Yeah I'm a big fan of mermaid as well. Extended ASCII works a bit better for me because depending on the text editor because I don't need a custom visualization tool.

I tried the periodic table in their examples using sonnet 4.6 on the $20/mo plan. After a few minutes Claude told me it reached the max message length and bailed. I pressed continue and eventually it generated the table, but it wasn't inline, it was a jsx artifact, and I've now hit my daily usage limit.

Since the underlying tool seems to be named something like "widget," I found I can nudge it into this embedded interactive output instead of artifacts by saying, "show me a widget that..."
