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…

Latency is like what, 50ms? You can’t explain these with latency. It’s just slop work from Claude.

For the vibe'y workflows, this would easily solve parallel long running work without skipping permissions: schedule 10 different tasks and go for a run. Occasionally review what the hallucination machine wants to do, smash yes a few times, occasionally tell it not to be silly, have a nice run. Essentially, solving remote development, though perhaps not quite in the way how people usually think of it.

Hmm. Give it 1-12 months.

We've re-invented GNU screen in the most inefficient way imaginable

People tried reinventing terminals, SSH, and tmux for phones. It's a pretty terrible experience using your thumbs. And it takes significant know-how to set up.

And in modern stacks, it almost necessitates a man in the middle - tailscale is common but it's still a central provider. So is it really the most inefficient way possible?

One could just as easily argue hunching over your desk staring at your computer has neurological implications. My favorite way to vibe code is by voice while in the hot tub. Rest AND focus AND build.

Sounds like someone hasn't yet worked multiple years with software engineering, or any job for that matter.

Your mind might trick you into believing it won't matter, but your body and mind NEEDS to be disconnected from work, 100%, at some point during your regular rhythms of life, otherwise you'll burn out much faster than the people you seemingly are trying to compete with.

Life never been a sprint, but it is a marathon, and if you spend all your young experience-less years on treating it as a sprint, you won't have any energy left for completing the marathon.

Take care of yourself, your mind and your body.

This seems like an excellent thread to plug the TUI I've been working on that makes using bubblewrap relatively easy and somewhat pleasant. I have a recipe in the README for using it with Claude. Granted that Claude has --sandbox, but probably better that sandboxing be done by something outside of the Anthropic ecosystem.

I would have hoped for them to at least support the "/clear" command or some form of it, especially to manage context if we're limited to a single session between the terminal and Claude iOS app. I like to work on things one at a time and /clear my way between them to get back to 0% context, which seems impossible with the current setup here?

Typing "/clear" in the terminal clears it, but the Claude iOS app just outputs raw XML instead and doesn't actually do anything:

    /clear
    clear

Ehh, I think it's hardly different from the people who leave Claude Code working on problems overnight with really loose permissions - seemingly the chance of them returning to it mining crypto for Putin is low enough for it to not be a consideration (see the whole OpenClaw movement).

And people have been remoting into their machines for a while, so now having a pretty-UI-but-walled-garden variety doesn't ring that many alarm bells. If they manage to get it right, it wouldn't be that much different from running some CI stuff on your machine while you're making tea, or reviewing pull requests while lounging around.

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…

How can the like most popular terminal emulator not accept voice input? That's crazy why hasn't someone made something better?

it works in Blink. is there a better terminal in ios i should use
