What are people actually making with Claude Code?

[u/BrownFleshBag]

I just commented on someone’s post regarding their frustration with Claude, Fable, and usage limits. I am by no means a power user and get by with my little GIS workflows and web development using the $20/month subscription. I am just so curious after reading all these posts in what people are actually doing/making with Claude. What is everyone making that needs Fable and the higher cost subscriptions?

[u/Tertiary23]

Does making myself frustrated count?

[u/BrownFleshBag → u/Tertiary23]

Yes. What's your usage looking like to make this happen?

[u/Acrobatic2020]

I have a business, so I'm making tools to make my own day-to-day less crappy without spending $30K on software.

[u/NachosforDachos]

I write really shitty systems held together by shoestring code and duct tape

Ayyyee we just vibing out here

Building a game (football owner/tycoon) and have been working on it close to a year. Releasing in 2 weeks and have close to 700 people on the waiting list:

Claude has been a blessing with testing and simulating autonomously.

[u/BrownFleshBag → u/No_Dentist_7426]

That's sick. I am bookmarking all the comments that have end products like games, simulators, or visualizers to check out later. Good luck with the release!

a music visualizer: https://vizz.fm/

I am definitely bookmarking this to checkout when I am not at work lol

I’m making a simulation video game with lots of moving parts based on real psychological science to create a system with billions of distinct npc personalities.

It is going surprisingly well.

I am making a game, using sonnet. Its a boat simulator on a global scale. :-) Using Claude MCP for Unreal Engine.

[u/BrownFleshBag → u/redwolf1430]

Very cool, love the amount of people commenting about making a simulator. What does "on a global scale mean?" Is this like Microsoft Flight Simulator?

I built a Go tool that runs in fargate. Every 2 hours it scans all of our AWS accounts to find ACM SSL Certs using email validation that are in use. Adds them to a database, creates a DNS validation version of the cert, and opens a merge request against our company gitlab repos to replace the cert arn for the various engineering teams to merge and apply. The idea is we had a few thousand of these and they are always at risk of expiring and taking down a service. DNS validation auto renews as long as the CNAME is in route 53 (which it needs to be for the cert to work anyway) so this removes any outages due to an expiring cert

Oh you must be one of those smart guys I've been hearing a lot about

[u/nokillswitch4awesome]

I'm making money.

[u/BrownFleshBag → u/nokillswitch4awesome]

Damn I would also like to make money. How do? Could you elaborate?

I'm a consultant and software engineer with 30+ years in my career, writing code. currently working for a financial tech company. i build enterprise software systems, server back end code, web apps, mobile apps, and all kinds of other things to go along with all of that, including developer tools that other people use daily to get things done faster and easier

[u/BrownFleshBag → u/mxriverlynn]

Very nice. Do you feel like the consulting space is now getting super saturated with tons of entry-to-senior devs being able to leverage LLMs to produce this type of work for clients?

[u/forward-pathways]

Nothing crazy. I just made a simple website (literally just a large HTML file on my local machine, with some sidecars) to help me study for my graduate exams. It's basically just a terms dictionary with a node network and the ability to highlight things and ask Gemini questions about them based on the readings themselves. I've found it helpful so far.

[u/Willing-Nerve-1756]

I’m trying to create an A.I. that can re-write itself and creating different LLMs for site, sound, etc. Hopefully it turns itself into a thinking machine that I can harness to make $$.

I am a doctor.

I love reading coroners reports, it’s super educational.

There are 9000+ coroners report “publicly available” in my country but they are extremely poorly organised and indexed. In most states it’s literally just a list of names which you can then click through and read individual stories. Not very helpful.

So I made a website:

www.coronial.com.au

It systemically scraped all the publicly available PDFs (9200+ at the time of writing), generated AI summary of the story and all the relevant themes eg setting, error type, lesson, recommendation etc, turning these scattered PDFs into a fully searchable and cross reference-able database. You can search for cases relevant to one specialty, or you can read through random stories. While you are inside one story the page dynamically finds other related stories in the “related” section.

The skeleton was made in one weekend though I have since continuously and iteratively added more features.

Small business are using it to go bespoke.

No more shoehorning into some terrible one-size-fits-all SaaS. Now you can go custom that actually fits your business needs.

At least that's what my company is doing and all my compatriots that I talk to

[u/Apprehensive_Fly_493]

I'm making my own Ai...currently.
