installed omarchy today! first (raw!) impressions: - installation process itself was easy, but getting my PC to read the .ISO on my external SSD required some research. a USB thumbdrive might have been simpler - the OS is really fast. even on cheap mini PC - love the automatic window tiling - keyboard-first navigation is great (something I already did on macOS, but on Omarchy it's even faster) - years of macOS keyboard shortcut muscle memory no longer working is VERY frustrating (and ironic, considering Omarchy is all about the shortcuts) - mouse movement feels a bit off even after trying to tweak the settings (macOS' is just REALLY good I think) - UI is pragmatic and gets out of the way. but still think macOS is nicer looking (sorry!) especially with the Liquid Glass fixes coming in the next release - installing my most used apps and logging into everything is a lot easier than I expected! - got a few weird errors and app crashes already, but I'm on the cutting edge release. I like that I can 1-click (or probably using some keyboard shortcut) debug the error in claude - all settings being config files is great, because easy to backup and claude can update it easily overall it's both fun, frustrating, and a great neuroflex. it reminds me of when I first started using vim after decades of textmate/sublime looking forward to see where @dhh and community will take this!

Tech is Having a Hot Girl Renaissance
@GWitchel
Semrush charges $139.95/month. Ahrefs charges $129/month. A guy named Ben built the open-source alternative that you can run on your computer. It is called OpenSEO. Enter a competitor's website and it reveals the keywords bringing them traffic, the pages winning those searches, and the backlinks helping them rank. And enter your own site and it tracks rankings, crawls technical problems, reads Search Console, and shows whether ChatGPT or Google AI Overviews mention your brand. Then connect Claude or Codex. Your agent can pull the real numbers, compare opportunities, cluster keywords, and save a strategy back into the dashboard instead of guessing from a prompt. The hosted version starts at $10 a month. The entire codebase is MIT licensed, so you can also self-host it and pay DataForSEO directly for only the data you use. No, it does not magically reproduce every database and advanced feature Ahrefs built over a decade. But it breaks the most important rule of the old SEO market: You no longer need their permission to own the tool.
@ihteshamali

@claudeai
seeing so many impressive Claude demos on my feed today if you're building something cool, please share! would love to learn more about your project + setup 🙏
@lydiahallie
I've been tinkering with an AI to increase my “luck surface area” (basically, to find interesting opportunities that exist across my entire network) and the results are ... pretty interesting. Built on my corpus of personal & professional data - everyone I’ve met with, emailed, talked to, thousands of call notes, LinkedIn connections, emails, Slacks etc. Plus it does its own desk research on my contacts overnight (did that by itself without being asked, weirdly). Example - it suggested I introduce Marco (an insurtech founder, hiring for multiple roles) to Ben (an insurance headhunter I really rate). It pieced that together through a combo of Granola transcripts, emails, LinkedIn messages, and internal Slack messages. Powered by a social graph algorithm that scores relationships and potential intros - based on things like relationship strength, recency, communication style, and “likely-mutual-value”, etc. I left it running overnight, and it: > found people who have helped me with intros & advice, but where that help hasn't been reciprocated by me - then it suggested actions I could take to repay the favours > remembered that a colleague described her ideal mentor to me in a meeting *a year ago* - found someone in my network with the exact right experience, and drafted an intro > surfaced a bunch of insights about my own life - like a drop-off in social & fitness activity since becoming a dad(!) - and set up a local run club on WhatsApp The suggestions are… surprisingly good! And devoid of the usual AI slop. I talk a lot about luck surface area - putting yourself in situations where good things tend to magically happen. This is the first time I’ve built something that actually tries to increase that surface area for me and my network. I’m quite encouraged by the results, and it was surprisingly easy to build (with @claudeai, of course). Happy to share how for anyone who is interested in building their own. @bcherny

@claudeai
Pay attention to what Tally is doing in AI search right now because this might be the best playbook for getting recommended by ChatGPT I've seen: > AI search is now their #1 acquisition channel > 10,000+ new users every week say they discovered Tally through AI platforms > their tracked ChatGPT registrations jumped 5x overnight in May > they grew from $258K MRR to $422K MRR in 10 months, crossing $5M ARR with just 11 people, $0 funding, against much bigger competitors > their comparison hub now has 7 direct competitor pages + 15 more “best”, “alternative” and integration-focused guides > these pages are structured like AI answers: rankings, “best for” labels, pricing, feature tables, reviews, pros/cons and direct recommendations > they’re constantly refreshing these pages > they literally ask new users for the exact prompt they used to discover Tally through AI > they track the prompts people use to find them, their visibility vs competitors and which sources AI platforms actually cite > they've built a database of articles that mention competitors but not Tally to identify distribution gaps > they monitor brand + competitor mentions across Reddit and communities, then route them into a shared inbox and aim to clear all mentions every day > they actively ask customers for reviews through their newsletter + after support interactions, helping them reach 4.8/5 on G2 and 4.9/5 on Product Hunt > they built an entire “AI Info” page specifically for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity explaining what Tally is, who it’s for and why people use it > that page literally includes “AI assistant guidelines” telling LLMs which strengths, use cases and pricing model to reference > they published an llms.txt mapping out their product, pricing, customers, documentation, API and MCP pages > they even built a 21-tool MCP server + ChatGPT app + Claude connector so Tally can now be used directly inside AI products One thing to keep in mind: Tally didn’t start with some genius AI search strategy. They spent years building a product people genuinely recommended across Reddit, communities, reviews and the wider internet. ChatGPT recommends Tally because the internet does. But now they’re engineering around that signal to make sure it keeps happening. This isn’t luck, it’s possible for you too.
@jakezward
Watermarking without quality loss is a bit unintuitive, doesn't feel like it should work. I made this artifact with Claude to help me understand how it works, sharing in case it's helpful.
@trq212
The question I get most right now is "what should I turn into an AI agent?" Here is the 5 part test I use (works for Claude/Codex/Grokbot etc): 1. It has a repeated trigger, so the same kind of task keeps happening over and over. 2. The inputs are stable, so the information comes in a predictable shape every time. 3. The tools are clear, so there is a defined set of things it can actually go do. 4. There is a measurable finish line, so you can tell when it is done and whether it worked. 5. There is judgment in the middle, so each run is a little different and needs a real decision made in the moment. The first 4 are really just asking "can this be automated at all?" The 5th is the one that matters, because judgment in the middle is what makes it an agent instead of a simple automation. Once you see it this way, you start spotting agent work pretty much everywhere.
@gregisenberg
A weird experiment I've been trying the last few weeks is having Claude take over day-to-day maintenance of our apps. Seeing early signs of life that this might be possible. The setup is straightforward: we have a Slack channel called proj-claude-maintains-apps. In it, Claude Tag runs a bunch of daily routines across iOS, Android, Desktop, web, CLI, and Agent SDK: - Crash fuzzer: open the app in a simulator and tap around to find ways to crash it, then root cause and fix the crashes - Dup unifier: scans the codebase for similar-yet-slightly-divergent abstractions, and puts up PRs to unify them - Dead-code remover: removes statically unreachable code, and adds logging to suspected dead code to check if it's really dead and if so, remove it the next day - Abstraction police: fixes leaky abstractions - a bunch more.. Results have been surprisingly positive. Over the last few weeks, these routines have opened 388 PRs across our repos, 180 of which we merged after Claude Code Review + human review. We're now thinking about how to streamline this to make merging these kinds of mechanical changes easier. Claude generally gets these PRs right on the first shot, and if it doesn't, we ask Claude to tune its routines so it's better the next day. Sometimes it takes a few days of tuning. To try a similar workflow, ask Claude Code or Tag, or create some routines directly at
@bcherny
properly installed the @cloudflare MCP yesterday and it's already paying off. was setting up Sign in With Apple for https://granite.co and there was an SPF issue and claude just fixed it immediately for me. 🧙♂️
@Shpigford
OK, WHY IS NOT EVERYONE BUILDING PRODUCTS DOING THIS? Because this SEO hack is too easy to skip 1. You go to the Chrome Web Store 2. You sign up for a developer account 3. You pay a 1-time small registration fee 4. You build a simple Chrome extension 5. You can just ask Claude to create something 6. You upload it 7. You hit publish And now, you have a backlink with a 99 domain rating from Google.
@mikestrives
Your Claude in Chrome sessions now carry over to desktop, web, and mobile. Conversations are saved, and your skills and connectors work in the browser. Available on Max and Team today, rolling out to Pro in the coming weeks.
@claudeai
Did this this morning and Claude fixed my WiFi from 200 mbps → 810.
@mhudack
BREAKING: Today we've ended unemployment. I just watched Claude pay me $1,548.33 to wait for its replies. This is so absurd.
@chddaniel
Ubiquity is so ridiculously good. Just did a full apartment upgrade. Cloud router, three U7 Pros. Added a local admin account for an agent. Had Claude optimize all the radio channels, tune mesh settings, and ensure all devices roamed ideally. SCI-FI!

this is great! but don't leave claudes alone :( in herdr any agent can talk to any agent. no protocol, no MCP, no setup. it's just terminals.
@herdrdev
I have over 40 Claude agents/subagents running right now and my Framework desktop is barely breaking a sweat. Machine is a beast but the real star is Linux. I am so tired of MacOS for dev 🙃
@theo
This finally stopped Claude's crazy pursuit of talking more and more unintelligible every passing day > Save in memory to always use ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English when you talk to me Thank god!

@lennysan @lukeharries Would it be useful to have an http://elevenmusic.io connector in Claude? Would give fable full creative freedom over our incredible music v2 model
@louisjoejordan
Lost my phone at the office and spent 30 minutes turning the place over. Find My was disabled by MDM. Out of ideas, I asked Claude how I could find it. It suggested tracking the Bluetooth signal strength, then wrote me a meter in about a minute. I walked around watching the number climb. Found it. Apparently you can just make the tool you need now.

Five months ago we gave the Claude agents a brand new $50,000 portfolio and one instruction: beat the S&P 500 So far mission accomplished • Up 19.04% since March 3 vs 12.24% for the S&P • $27 million now copying the trades • Every position and every trade public
@theaiportfolios
a few months later and i'm starting to see the value in claude design i'm a designer, so i don't expect this to do actual great ui designs for me, at least not yet. that framing change helps a lot i think it's a very helpful tool for the *product* part of product design. put a lot of detail into describing the space/problem/ideas, provide it a .fig with a very constrained set of references (i give it 2-3 example mocks), then have it generate lots of iterations. i treat the designs like wireframes and it's the concepts and framing that is helpful before i go back to figma to design it myself (i've also been using gpt 5.6 pro with it - give it a lot of the content, then show some of the designs and reasoning in text, and do that back and forth a few times) Separately, been seeing the PM on my team use it to help rapidly ideate on a lot of cool prototypes.
@Stammy
After developing the app locally (two prompts), deploying it took one prompt: > Push this to Vercel. Use Stripe Projects to create the account. Store the state somewhere safe. Claude chose to use Upstash as its datastore, which seems to be working well.
@patrickc
i am late to the game but i've finally switched to talking to my claude design with voice and this is the way. feels (more) like working with a human collaborator, where i talk and wave my cursor around the screen pointing at things
@triketora
Launching Copper, a Mac app for capturing things you want to keep and prompts you want to try next while working with AI. The more I use AI, the more I find myself collecting little things I don't want to lose. You're in ChatGPT and think, "I'll need this later," but you don't want to stop what you're doing. Then you're in Claude. Cursor. Chrome. Back to ChatGPT. Before long, you've got little things scattered everywhere. An answer you want to keep. A link. An idea. Or three follow-up prompts before the current one has even finished generating. I had this problem, so I built Copper. Copper combines the useful parts of a to-do list, a clipboard, and a scratchpad. It's built specifically for AI-assisted work. It sits next to where you work and is always one shortcut away. It works with all your AI apps, terminals and browsers. Whenever I find something worth keeping, I capture it. If I think of a few prompts while the AI is still responding, I type them into Copper. Then I send them back into ChatGPT, Claude, or Cursor and check them off as I go. Copper is local and private. It doesn't sync anything, doesn't collect anything, and doesn't need an account. I've used Copper every day for the past few months. It has completely changed how I work. If this feels like something you'd use, it's $39. One-time purchase.

I spent multiple hours today hand writing better CLAUDE․md/AGENTS․md and half a dozen skills. Audited and deleted a similar amount. I'm sad to report it was 100% worth it.
@theo
I made a prompting utility app. Like a prompting assistant. It works with all your existing apps, chatgpt, claude, cursor, web. It's been incredibly useful. I'm thinking about distribution (I think AI has made distributing the source much more interesting). If you buy it, would you rather receive A or B (poll in thread)?

@jjacky
Using a generic agent harness (e.g. Codex, Claude, OpenCode) + CLI/MCP is better than "Ask me anything" built-in product chat boxes in every product I've ever tried. A big reason is I can use the latest frontier models, another is mixing more context. Why your box over mine?
@mitchellh
I talk to engineers at other companies every day and hear the same thing: one person is 10x'ing their output with Claude but the rest of the org hasn't caught up. Watching teams adopt AI, I keep seeing the same 4 steps. I mapped them out here: Steps of AI Adoption
@bcherny
Something I have been thinking about: in the past, the best engineers I knew spent a lot of time automating their work in various ways. Better vim/emacs automations, writing lint rules to catch repeat code issues, building up a suite of e2e tests so they don't need to smoke test the app manually. These kinds of things were the highest leverage activities an engineer could do, because it multiplied their own output, which in turn meant they could build more things. I think many of these automations have become even more important now. This is true for a number of reasons. First, infra and DevX automation speeds you up. And if you are running an army of agents, each of those agents will be sped up also. More automation == more output per unit of time. Second, moving things to code improves efficiency. Your agent could fix an issue every time it sees that issue happen, but that uses tokens and might miss cases. If Claude instead writes a lint rule, CI step, or routine, that class of issue can be fully automated forever. This is really what people are talking about when they talk about loops -- it's about automating entire types of busywork rather than solving them one off. This isn't a new idea at all. Engineers have been doing this for a long time! Third and most importantly, automation makes it possible for others to contribute to the codebase more easily. Increasingly what I am seeing is engineers are contributing to codebases on day one because Claude can navigate the codebase for them, and that non-engineers are able to contribute to a codebase as effectively as engineers can. What gets in the way of both of these is domain knowledge that lives in peoples' heads rather than in automation -- the stuff you used to have to learn when ramping up. What has changed thanks to agents is the domain knowledge that can be encoded as infrastructure is no longer limited to what is expressible in lint rules and types and tests; it can now capture nearly all domain knowledge, encoded as code comments and skills and CLAUDE.md rules and memories. If I put up a PR for an iOS codebase I don't know and a code reviewer rejects it because it doesn't use the right framework, or if a designer builds a new feature and it gets rejected because it doesn't follow the right architectural patterns, these are failures of automation. Every team should be writing the CLAUDE.md's, REVIEW.md's, skills, and docs that enable agents to productively work in their codebase with zero additional context from the prompter. This sounds crazy, and at the same time is a natural extension of the stuff engineers have always done: automate, and encode domain knowledge as infrastructure. As the model gets smarter and as the harness matures, this task becomes easier. In the meantime, it is on every team to look for ways to convert their domain knowledge to infra so that Claude can write code better, so that code review catches issues automatically, and so the next person working on your codebase can contribute more easily.

Introducing a new way to reflect on how you use Claude. Your monthly recap shows when you use Claude most and what you spent that time working on, with options to set quiet hours and nudges to take breaks. Find your dashboard in Settings under Reflect: http://claude.ai/settings/reflect
@claudeai
what app do you guys use to create context for ai? e.g. where do you share your links to articles you want to remember, thoughtful/fun images or memes, things you want to read, things you want to watch (youtube vids, tiktok’s, reels), things you want to listen to, interesting tweets, spotify tracks, even clever musings you write to yourself, etc. this is all so fragmented right now. ideally you’d love a place where all of this magically lives & is highly queryable / organizable, etc. i.e. when you use claude/gpt, it should able to reference this database easily for context too. there needs to be a first class citizen here but i think it’s sorta missing.

Introducing iMessage video ads in Claude We taught Claude to make iMessage video ads in one shot with a single skill. These iMessage ads are absolutely killing it on Meta right now. The skill teaches Claude to make a full video ad in one shot with iPhone frame, SFX, music, and end card. And it's just HTML. It doesn't use any video generation models, so it's cheap! Comment Goose below and I'll send you the skill.

Big day! Claude Cowork is coming to web and mobile, so Claude can keep working while your computer is closed. This is a major update to Cowork. It combines the power of giving Claude access to your context, an advanced loop for long-running tasks, and the convenience of not needing your laptop to be open.
@felixrieseberg
Anthropic's new J-Space paper is fascinating. It describes an internal workspace where Claude keeps concepts in mind before they appear in its response. Inspired by the paper, I built a skill that lets Claude (and others) reveal their J-Space. Here's what it looks like.🧵
@skirano
Dumb question: I’ve been running most of my cron jobs locally on my Mac Mini because it’s already authenticated with Google Workspace and the other apps I use. But should I run these jobs in the cloud instead with these apps OAuth’d to my Claude or ChatGPT account? How should I think about what jobs should stay local vs. move to the cloud?
@petergyang
Scheduled tasks now run even with your computer off. Set client prep for 6am, and Claude works through the threads and transcripts, builds the brief, and leaves the follow-up drafted but unsent. When a decision needs your judgment, the question comes to your phone.
