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…

same but i use android. so i just talk to a google keep note and then copy/paste it. helpful for longer things

This is buggy to no end. Anthropic needs to slow down The daily “what broke and changed now” with claude code is wearing me out fast.

Claude Code is a good product, they should just keep on steadily improving it and improving the model. I am not sure why they are spraying in all directions like this..

Do you have an alias or something so that every time you open CC, tmux is running? How do you deal with multiple concurrent sessions of CC with this setup? How important is mosh? I wasn't able to get it set up the last time I tried... ran into a bunch of issues.

I recommend Eternal Terminal instead of mosh for this.

Yes. Doing the same. What is the advantage of this new feature? Tmux/Tailscale/Termius give you full control of your terminal. Or mainly to save the end user the hassle to set it up correctly?

Ease of setup is the biggest reason. I use this setup as well, but there are other UX niceties that would be a lot better with a dedicated mobile app: push notifications when Claude needs your input (I use a hook for this that connects to Pushover, but that's another service and extra setup), voice input, autocorrect that's right for this context, etc.

Struggled with it also, given up (for now). I thought coding was a solved problem Boris?

Generating code is a solved problem. Some people think that is the same thing.

I have little doubt where things are going, but the irony of the way they communicate versus the quality of their actual product is palpable. Claude Code (the product, not the underlying model) has been one of the buggiest, least polished products I have ever used. And it's not exactly rocket science to begin with. Maybe they should try writing slightly less than 100% of their code with AI?

I am constantly amazed how developers went hard for claude-code when there were and are so many better implementations of the same idea.

It's also a tool that has a ton of telemetry, doesn't take advantage of the OS sandbox, and has so many tiny little patch updates that my company has become overworked trying to manage this.

Its worst feature (to me at least), is the, "CLAUDE.md"s sprinkled all over, everywhere in our repository. It's impossible to know when or if one of them gets read, and what random stale effect, when it does decide to read it, has now been triggered. Yes, I know, I'm responsible for keeping them up to date and they should be part of any PR, but claude itself doesn't always even know it needs to update any of them, because it decided to ignore the parent CLAUDE.md file.

Can anyone recommend a tool that gives a 'mission control' overview of multiple agents, but also combines some basic project management functionality. For example, maybe I have an idea for a feature and I want to spin up a new branch and have agents work on that. But then I get stuck or bored (I'm talking personal usage), so decide to park it. But maybe after a few days I have a shower thought and want to resume it.…

Honestly, build it yourself. I think we’re firmly in the personal software era (or disposable).

But if you don’t want to, I’ve been building basically this https://github.com/Robdel12/OrbitDock

Native macOS and iOS apps, backed by a rust binary that I put anywhere and connect to. Right now I’m just LAN but eventually will tailscale.

Works with claude and codex. Both passively watching an active CLI session for both and you can take over those sessions if needed and interact in the app
