Reading up on Claude

Claude now works inside Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides, and those files also open inside Claude. In Google Workspace, Claude sits in a sidebar next to your file, reads what you have open, and edits it in place. You can approve each edit before it lands.

@claudeai

I discovered that 1000s of bots are actively monitoring X for new links posted, probably not just on my account I noticed when everytime I'd share one of my sites new features or pages, the page would get a bit slower just after posting, then I asked Claude to analyze it I tweeted a test URL as a reply somewhere deeply hidden in a thread (so not even a main post) And within 8 seconds there's thousands of crawlers opening the page! One is a military intelligence firm, that scans social media for breaking news and sells alerts to newsrooms, banks, companies and government, it specifically follows accounts with many followers Another one is a social media monitoring company that tracks what people say online I knew of course high frequency trading firms use online news to trade fast on things, but interesting to see it in real life Twitterbot (X) of course is first, within 0 seconds of sharing, it opens it (probably when I wrote the tweet) The first non-X bot arrives just 8.40s later, which I think is pretty fast considering it's a reply by me deeply hidden in a thread somewhere TL;DR they're watching you!

@levelsio

lol this is insane claude now gives you hundreds of dollars per month extra you can just create an API key, put it into Vercel AI gateway, and save every month i like the new claude

@robinebers

It took me 5 minutes to get into the Claude Startups program And you don't need VC funding anymore What you get: - A year of Claude Team - API credits - Priority rate limits - Deals on the tools a startup runs on How to apply: - Create a Claude Console account (the API one, not the app) - Use a company email, not Gmail - Go to

@adriamatz

I asked Opus 5.5 to make an interactive website companion for the latest @AcquiredFM Home Depot episode. It came out pretty nice! Water color illustrations all drawn by Claude, too: https://claude.ai/artifact/RdE6uE7WozcP2MLfx3BDky Episode here: https://www.acquired.fm/episodes/home-depot

@bcherny

Si tens una startup, ja estàs trigant a demanar-hi accés. M'ho han aprovat gairebé al moment i ja tenim 1.000 $ en crèdits d’API + 12 mesos de Claude Team Premium per a 5 persones. Si hi pots optar, aprofita-ho. 👇

@senyorfont

I am surprised that people are surprised this is how I prompt Claude. Talk to Claude the way you would a coworker. There's no secret to prompting. There's no need to be overly scaffolded or prescriptive for most tasks -- give Claude a goal, and it will figure it out. Back in the Sonnet 3.5 days, your prompt mattered a lot. Nowadays, it's much more important to communicate to the model: 1. What you want it to do 2. How much effort you want it to spend 3. How it should verify that it did the right thing

@bcherny

Anthropic used Claude to make their apps 3x faster. The strategies they came up with to do it are fascinating. I broke it down so you can use the best parts in your own work :) https://x.com/ClaudeDevs/status/2102839691154427983

@theo

Figma doesn’t want you to use MCP Amazon doesn’t want you to shop with agents Reddit won’t let Claude access threads X won’t let ChatGPT read tweets It’s starting. This happened with APIs 8 years ago.

@wesbos

For two weeks, start a design, deck, or doc in the Claude app, and the work that follows in that conversation uses 50% less of your usage limits. Give it a try with Claude Sonnet 5.5. It has a strong eye for design and builds slides that need minimal editing.

@claudeai

I gave Opus one night and one ask "Build my own Bot / Dot and it should use ChatGPT sign in and Claude subscriptions. Every agent get it's own VM" 12 hours later, TOT exists

@dhruvalgolakiya

Claude just built me a mac app which listens live to my zooms, transcribes, tells me what to ask, and does live 'fact check' on my zoom calls against my whole CRM / knoweldge base + web ... (this is demo)... pipes it all into my claude 2nd brain. Sick.

@lessin

I may have accidentally built an Apple Mail CLI with Opus 5.5, plus a frontend that uses Claude to categorize messages and batch archive them 👀

@viticci

OPUS 5.5 IS THE ONLY MOTION DESIGNER YOU NEED this launch video cost $0 and is pure code everyone else on X claims the same shit, then sends you to their website or mcp this is completely free with 0 external tools steal the prompt and try it in your claude ↓ <inputs> Ask me for: a one-word brand name for the wordmark (a verb works best), 9 to 12 high-res photos, a royalty-free song around 120 BPM with a drop and a quiet breakdown (Mixkit, free for commercial use), and a free stock clip of a plain wall with moving plant shadows (Pexels). </inputs> <direction> An Apple-keynote launch film, 2D only, one continuous take. Every scene is made out of the previous one: nothing fades, blurs or cuts. Objects change shape instead: text rises out of a mask line, icons pop from zero on a spring, bars draw across, pages push, and a black shape floods the whole frame and contracts into the next scene. Warm off-white canvas, black UI, iOS 26 liquid glass over the photos. Archivo (wdth 125, weight 800) for the wordmark, Geist for UI. A cursor drives every change with real clicks, drags and long-presses. The camera zooms screen-studio style so each moment fills the square, and the cursor scales with it. Banned: crossfades, blur-ins, brightness "developing", 3D flips, particles, glows, holds longer than 1s, anything that looks like a template. </direction> <structure> 120 BPM, 54 beats, something happens on every beat. Open: the wordmark squeezes into its own period like an accordion, the dot grows into a black pill, a label rises inside it. Click: six iris blades close over the label and snap open onto a photo. The circle becomes a square, shrinks, the grid unfolds from behind it like a paper map (center, plus, corners), reflows into a bento, and a click zooms into one tile, landing exactly on the drop. Glass: a glass word pops in letter by letter, melts into a droplet that stretches into a glass toolbar. The adjust icon turns it into a slider. Dragging relights the photo from day to golden hour (two aligned shots), and the knob turns into a glass lens while held. It lifts into a glass orb, the next photo opens inside it as a circle, and the orb expands into a lock screen: glass clock digits, date, and a home bar that stretches into a glass music player. Stage: the lock screen pulls back into a phone (the bezel grows out of the screen edge). The Dynamic Island stretches like liquid, pinches off, flies over and grows into a Mac window that rolls up like a blind. Long-press the wallpaper, drag it onto a Safari tab, the page pushes in, drop it and it becomes the hero of a landing page. Scroll: the hero morphs into a framed print on a product card, with the mat and molding growing out of the photo's edge. Pick a frame color (it paints across) and a size, then the nav button flies down into "Order print". Order: one black shape keeps morphing: Ordered ✓ → Printing % → On its way (a van on a route) → Delivered ✓. Wall: the delivered circle floods the frame edge to edge, holds black for a beat, and contracts into the framed print hanging on the real wall footage. The same iris opens onto the print, closes again, the frame floods the screen and contracts into the pill → the dot → the letters spring back out, landing on the beat return. Last frame = first frame. </structure> <build> 1. One HTML file, square 1440x1440. Every style is computed from time inside an async seek(t): no CSS transitions, no timers, no state between frames. 2. Springs are closed-form step responses. A value with many targets is the sum of one spring per change, so it stays a pure function of time. 3. Liquid glass: each glass element holds its own clone of the scene behind it, filtered with an SVG feImage displacement map (a rounded-rect distance field) through three feDisplacementMaps at slightly different scales for chromatic edges, plus a rim light. Glass letters: a canvas distance field per glyph gives the map, mask and highlights. 4. Goo: blur + alpha threshold, then composite the source atop it so the glass stays sharp inside. 5. Iris: 6 blades around a hexagonal aperture. Each blade is its two vertices, both edge extensions and the SHORT arc between them. 6. Wordmark squeeze: every letter moves toward the dot by the same factor and its drawn width follows (narrow the wdth axis, scale the rest), so the letters stay touching. 7. Footage: re-encode all-intra (ffmpeg -g 1), load it as a blob URL, await 'seeked' before drawing each frame. 8. Sound: a downloaded SFX for every event (Mixkit), never synthesized, each placed by its measured peak. The song starts on a downbeat: the zoom lands on the drop, the wall sits in the breakdown, the wordmark returns with the beat. Loudnorm to -14 LUFS. 9. Render with Playwright: 4 subframes per frame blended with ffmpeg tmix, 60fps. Check one frame per beat, then scan for single-frame pops (frame-difference spikes 3x their neighbours). </build> <gotchas> backdrop-filter: url() misreads displacement maps in Chromium, so clone the scene instead. A flood must overscale past the corners and take about 0.3s, or half the screen changes in one frame. A child with visibility: visible shows through a hidden parent, so use inherit. Text that swaps inside a morphing shape needs its own mask. python http.server can't range-seek video, so use the blob URL. </gotchas> <start> Ask me for the inputs, then show me the beat map and 4 stills (open, glass, stage, wall) before you write the full film. </start>

@twoclipping

I used this prompt to have Opus 5.5 optimize my setup in Open Minis for iOS. It worked for 12 hours, used 9% of my Claude sub, and slimmed my various prompts to half the size. Very good cleanup, and crazy efficiency in Opus 5.5 right now.

@viticci

holy shit, opus 5.5 is kind of insane at animation. i didn't write a single line of code. it wrote the story, drew every frame, and made the music. no image assets at all, it's all JS. the story is called "small print": claude gets a pile of requests every day. it circles the human part hidden inside them, like "one hand. baby's asleep", and drops it into a jar. at night, those words turn into stars and join up into a constellation. rendered with hyperframes, all in one index.html. it synthesized the music in python, then went through the render second by second and polished it again.

@Voxyz_ai

BTW we now support multiple accounts in the Claude mobile app

@eduardosasso

If you've noticed how fast https://claude.ai and the Desktop app have become in the last few weeks, here's how we did it. Lots of juicy learnings & techniques in the blog post for engineers working on speeding up your own apps.

@bcherny

What are your thoughts on the Claude desktop app? What do you love/hate? What features should be added? What are some of your biggest frustrations with it?

@RobertJBye

i'm sorry, Claude can WHAT? it can take your website link, find people who need your product, email them and book the calls? since when?? i've been doing this by hand for a YEAR. ok. testing it: $30 free 👇 https://explee.com/auto-gtm/x/tw-ag332-c754

@vovudebosh

Projects have changed not only how I interact with Claude but how I code. I stopped managing sessions. I just send thoughts as they come, Claude splits them into threads, and the project remembers how I work. It's where I do a ton of my coding now. [screenshot: my actual prompts for claude code cli yesterday]

@bcherny

I swear I'm not trolling: I've stopped using a browser. I'm only using ChatGPT desktop now. For Claude, Notion, Figma, all of it.

@ben_issen

noticed our water bill this summer from irrigation system was...high. had claude analyze our @rachioco system and it found that enabling the automated "heat wave" setting had used 144,000 GALLONS IT ABSOLUTELY DID NOT NEED TO. ~$2,500 we could have just not spent at all. 😭

@Shpigford

I made a website with 25 mini rooms, each with Claude keeping people company. Created with Claude Opus 5.

@kevin_t_ngo

Yet to see an example of something grok bot, instinct, muse etc can do that codex or claude can’t do with the same prompt

@frantzfries

🚨 BREAKING: Claude can now map out your retirement better than most people charging $3,000 ever will. Here are 6 prompts to figure out exactly when and how you can retire. (Save this before it disappears).

@TechElyra

Claude Mods are landing now. Someone already built a Tetris-in-Claude mod 🤯 See issue for the latest community update, technical details, and more cool demos https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/91870#issuecomment-5666255143

@bcherny

Anyone can get my friend’s real SSN from Claude I'm Terrified of my data in training sets. Emails in databases. iMessages harvested. Cant trust the cloud as AI is crazy good at hacking So I built Underdog for myself: on-device AI OS. Capable & 100% local. now my friends love it

@0xSigil

Interesting, I killed my OpenClaw VPS servers months ago But today I got a billing alert on its separate Claude account (claudeforopenclaw@), it didn't have auto reload on but I guess at some point it got hacked and the Claude key inside OpenClaw got exposed and then they waited for months before using it on Fable 5.1 I checked all my terminals and VPS sessions and none of them use API so it's interesting Anyway I nuked the Claude account, good I kept it on its own separate one

@levelsio

Here's a great use case for Claude and the Basecamp CLI. Pull together some inspirational photos of iconic furniture from around the world, and upload them to the appropriately named galleries inside a Basecamp project. Here's a quick walkthrough:

@jasonfried

we heard feedback that it's hard to know if your skills are still working with new model releases plugin evals are here to help run `claude plugin eval init` in your plugin folder

@trq212

How do I work in parallel with Claude/Codex on my Mac Mini without worktrees? Right now using a worktree skill to create them and then clean them up afterwards but many smart people are saying they suck.

@iannuttall

Try this prompt in Claude chat to give it more context about yourself: Interview me in depth using free text, or askuserquestion tool when multiple choice works, about relevant parts of my life you don’t know about yet and save it all to memory.
