So I tried it for a hot minute a few weeks ago, but uninstalled promptly once it looked like it just cannot handle pasted images very well at all. It would paste it as huge Base64 string right in there and completely lock up the UI on my MacBook Pro M3 Max. Has that been fixed? I'm really looking for a good IDE (or something better than just a terminal) for Claude Code, but I was left disappointed by Claudia...

#152On the one hand, it's good that we're seeing a lot of exploration in this space. On the other, the trend seems to be everyone developing a million disparate tools that largely replicate the same functionality with the primary variation being greater-or-lesser lock-in to a particular set of services. This is about the third tool this week I've taken a quick look at and thought "I don't see what this offers me that I d…
I was with a fairly well acclimated woman the other day and mentioned something about chatgpt’s voice, she acted confused and asked if that was the paid version (it is) But long story short she showed me what she had on her iphone and it was a totally different app that wrapped a text chat interface around chatgpt, it wasn’t even themed like to be a persona or anything but was at the expense of any multimodal capabil…
Seems pretty scammy to me, akin to typo squatting with potential to collect a lot more personal information but he can’t always be reasoned with.
Hopefully he heeds my advice to not provide anything personal.

The idea here is an IDE for Claude Code specifically. is most likely the strongest coding agent right now, but not everyone loves the command line only interface. So I totally get it.
There are already a plugins to use claude code in other IDEs.
This “Ill write a whole IDE because you get the best UX” seems like its a bit of a fallacy.
There are lots of ways you could do that.
A standalone application is just convenient for your business/startup/cross sell/whatever.

#154Claudia is open-source, made by a S24 YC company https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/asterisk
I'm shocked that YC hasn't advised them that this name is terrible. It actively breaks trust by trying to piggyback on Anthropic's tool naming.

And then the providers ship a landmark feature or overhaul themselves. Especially as their models advance. Wrappers constantly live in the support and feature parity of today. Anthropic’s Claude Code will look a hell of a lot different a year from now, probably more like an OS for developers and Claude Agent non-tech. Regardless they are eating the stack. Pricing/usage will be very simple - a fixed subscription and w…
> a fixed subscription and we will no longer know the tokenomics because the provider will have greatly abstracted This is definitely not how most compute-constrained cloud services end up looking. Your cloud storage provider doesn't charge you a flat rate for 5tb/month of storage, and no amount of financier economics can get Claude there either.

Move fast and break things. Being edgy like this is what VC's want to see.

All the more reason to embrace a fully open source stack. We need to go hard on "lesser".

I've been contributing to an open source mobile app [1] that takes two swings at offering something that Roo does not have. 1. Real-time sync of CLI coding agent state to your phone. Granted this doesn't give you any new coding capabilities, you won't be making any different changes from your phone. And I would still chose to make a code change on my computer. But the fact that it's only slightly worse (you just wish…
