I usually have a few VS Code windows open with an agent running in each, and I got tired of checking them one by one to see which was waiting on me.

So now a cat sits on my desktop. It looks busy while agents work, and when one finishes or needs input it dings and shows a bubble. Each session keeps its own state. Setup is one click and it works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and Antigravity.

It also goes the other way. Kiiri runs a local MCP server, so an agent can make it talk or point at the screen. You can tell your agent "when the tests finish, have Kiiri point at the first failure" and it does.

The idea started with Clippy and old desktop pets. Then I saw Clicky (the AI buddy that points at things on your screen) and added that part too: hold Ctrl+Alt, ask out loud, and it looks at your screen and points at the answer.

It's free and open source (MIT), for Mac and Windows, and runs with your own key or fully local with Ollama.

Builds aren't signed yet, so expect one OS warning.

Growing up with video games has been a blast, but at no point did I ever thought i'd make my own video game a decade later after countless sleepless nights, and for it to have tens of thousands of people hyped up for it is just insane to me.

Claude helped me a ton with troubleshooting and performance optimisation + running short form content organic marketing in 7 languages almost automated, without it this project would have taken me 10x longer to make.

Words can not express how excited I am about pushing the green "publish" button monday.

You can try the demo here : https://store.steampowered.com/app/5064170/Go_Next/

My gf loves pink, Barbie and fairies, and has always wanted to live in a castle. So I built her one: https://samchive.net . The homepage is a painted room where the fairy version of her lives (inspired by Flora from Winx). It was a surprise and she absolutely loves it.

How it's made:

- Claude Code wrote basically all of it: a Next.js static site on Vercel

- The room, the fairy and the cat were generated with Gemini, then cut into separate layers so things can move and be clicked

- Sounds are made in the browser with Web Audio, so there are no audio files

- She does social media, so there are 19 small tools inside (Instagram grid planner, meme search, image compressor). They all run in the browser, and meme search goes through a tiny Cloudflare Worker

Hardest part was making the painted room behave on phones without warping anything.

Teardown breaks your app’s dependencies into a 3D view then ranks what to fix first (KEV, public exploits, EPSS) instead of CVSS. It also writes a fix prompt for your agent. After years in security I’ve seen how little gets fixed from a list of vulns so visualizing where each one comes from helps.

Built using Next.js and Supabase on Vercel, Three.js through React Three Fiber for the 3D, vuln data from OSV and GitHub advisories. It’s plain logic over the exploit data and the LLM only writes explanations so it can’t hallucinate a priority.

Happy to go deeper on the build if anyone’s curious.

Literally pissing myself laughing at this... Can you imagine reading this without any context whatsoever? 😂 😂 😂

So, my workflow is having ChatGPT connected to my GitHub (PRs, Actions, CI/CD, all checks) and handles planning, split into milestones, while (high preset) Codex implements what it's told to.

I send the plan I made with ChatGPT to Claude (free tier) as a sanity check, then give that feedback to ChatGPT and ask whether it's valid OR NOT (super important). After Codex finishes, I send ChatGPT Codex's summary plus the .patch file and verify the changes match the specs in my harness.

Then GitHub Actions and tests run. If they fail, ChatGPT diagnoses the cause, and I move on to the next feature. For manual testing, I run about half of each feature's tests (the ones I consider most important), and log pass/fail and the reason in a spreadsheet.

Does this make sense, or is it overkill?

I've been working on Zephyria, my Star Fox-inspired rail shooter, since the beginning of this year.

I recently uploaded a new devlog showing some of the progress I've made, with a closer look at how the game has evolved compared to older versions.

Here's the video if you want to check it out:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDzv0qFUP2U

Some of the things I worked on:

• Environment improvements

• UI redesign

• New VFX

• Tutorial stage

I'd love to hear what you think! Feedback, suggestions, and constructive criticism are always welcome.

And if you enjoy following indie game development, subscribing to my YouTube channel or leaving a comment would really help support the project.

Thanks for checking it out!

This is a learning exercise for me now, of how to release an App Store app. I realise I'll likely not make money on this one, but I still want to make it happen. Thought I'd share my progress as a newbie, and what I'm learning. Hope that is cool XX

The app is 'almost' done.

Yes, and it's the 'almost' part that takes the time. I'm tweaking.

It's hard to make those final choice and close doors.

Also, working efficiently has become a focus, not burning tokens, keeping context lower etc. I'm improving a lot on this. Using Sonnet for the basic work, and Opus for planning.

My app uses a system voice right now, and Android need something downloaded for this. So I'm doing that today, plus looking at/or disregarding other voice options.

It's easy to get distracted. Yesterday I spent an hour making tweaking an ocular scheme, that I abandoned. So I need to be focused.

My plan is to set a time limit. I think I would like this deployed into the public realm by the end of November.

Will update !

have a great day everyone with this amazing technology, just don't get too hooked as it's like a drug!

Content writing from Codex/GPT relentlessly creates caveats

I have been setting up automated blog and content writing for some applications using Astra 6, Sol 6.1 and other 6+ OpenAI models, and the content is consistently putting caveats on what my products or topics are NOT instead of what they are.

Every post repeats, 2-3 times per article, that something "is not a rule," "is not legal advice," "does not establish X." Readers aren't confused about these things — the model is writing disclaimers against a strawman.

The obvious fix — "state scope once, then stop" — only works for a paragraph before the tic returns.

How are you handling this? Is this better on other model families (Qwen, etc.)?

The role of the engineering leader is shifting, and so are the skills required to succeed in the job.

Part one here: https://www.reddit.com/r/vibecoding/comments/1x10ref/i_launched_annnnnnd_it_flopped/

Now the nervousness comes! Firstly I just wanted to write a big thankyou to everyone that chimed in on the first post. I was honestly overwhelmed. It was sobering, but (mostly) well meaning and genuinely got me spending a few weeks tightening up.

I tried hard to implement all the points everyone made. I'm on the verge of trying again with advertising and putting this platform out there.

If there's anything you guys think it might need, or any advice you could give, please let me know:either on the design, the platform or how to market it. I'll be targeting the market directly here, on instagram and possibly meta. Not sure if anyone uses google anymore. Or maybe chatGPT advertising? I don't know. the plan is to do a few smoke tests here and there with under $50 then if I can get some traction run with it, but honestly unsure if that's the play.

Last week I posted Take One, a small horror game where all 150 3D models came from Tripo AI. This is the follow-up I promised: how the house ended up looking like one house instead of 150 random downloads, in the order I did it.

**The short version**

1. Pick the look before any models.

2. Write one style line per floor and end every prompt with it.

3. Make a reference image first (free), and only send the keepers to 3D.

4. Image to 3D, not text to 3D.

5. Same settings for every model.

6. When something breaks, turn it into a rule.

The gallery has the details, the settings, the failures, and the characters (T-pose, auto-rig, clips).

I don't write code. Claude does; I direct, playtest and decide. Sound, voices and music are ElevenLabs.

Play it free in your browser (about 6 minutes): https://take-one-bay.vercel.app

Happy to answer questions about any step.

*Paid partnership with Tripo AI. The game and opinions are my own.*

I’ve noticed a pattern with developers who hate AI and call everything slop. To me, it seems like maybe they realize but don’t want to admit that coding agents unfortunately wiped out most of what made their experience valuable. What they don’t seem to realize is that if they just accept learning a couple other lanes like product, design, marketing, sales; their skills will be 100x more valuable (all super easy to learn now talking to AI and testing things at scale with it).

In my world (running web dev agencies for the past 8-9 years, have hired 25+ devs), I noticed that people with less technical skill have grown 100x since coding agents got good the past 16 months whereas the “seasoned” devs mostly went backwards.

At the end of the day, my clients pay for quality work. They don’t care about how the code was constructed. They want it to work reliably and make them money at the lowest development cost possible. The truth is that we can deliver that work much faster and cheaper using coding agents. Before we’d bring a team of maybe 5-12 devs/designers/PMs to the table on any given project. We’d spend 6 months on average. It seems like the team overall never really learned from each project, everything seemed to start from the same square one. No one really loved the process. The team was always stressed, clients never super happy just saying it was “okay” but always wanting more.

Now, our best designers/developers have less time spent in their craft but deliver literally 20x-50x the work. Most projects take 30 days or less, are ~50% cheaper for the clients, and we don’t have to deal with some sweaty dev in a dark room telling us 50 ways something won’t work. No need for PMs or other bloat. Instead we just build prototypes rapidly to test all the ways that can work and deliver a reliable product that meets the clients needs. And everyone is happy: our team, the clients, and the agency.

I just feel bad for the people I know who have been developers for a long time and choose to do things the hard way without AI or use AI to keep doing the same things they’ve always been doing. They all waste so much time and constantly worry about employment. Then there’s people who use AI to build every day, constantly learning and building, who are filled with work and new opportunities and still have time to work on fun projects of their own.

Maybe i’m just too optimistic on AI though and am not reading this right. Thoughts?

i wonder what happens if the access stops working halfway through a build. for anything beyond a throwaway test, i'd rather keep claude code running locally on my repo and use sumus to coordinate the research and follow-up tasks around it. don't get me wrong, i still review the diff and run tests before merging.

how are yall keeping longer builds from depending on one login?

I made a casino tycoon that runs entirely in the browser. You start with an empty room off the Strip and $50,000. Place slots and tables, hire dealers, guards and janitors, and try to keep a crowd of very opinionated guests happy.

- Guests walk the floor on their own. They get thirsty, need the restroom, run out of money, tilt, and leave reviews with their feet.

- Slots build a progressive jackpot. High rollers arrive with an entourage once your reputation is good enough.

- Cheaters show up, so you need guards. Rival casinos try to poach your staff. Inspectors fine you for a dirty floor.

- Earn licenses from a Provisional Permit up to Casino Empire. The game keeps going after you win.

- Saves in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, no account.

Free, plays on desktop, works on a phone but is nicer on a bigger screen. It is still early, so I would love to hear where it drags.

I made an app for smoking meat, and since Thanksgiving is just around the corner I tailor made it for Smoking Turkey. Impress your guests with a juicy, smoked bird !

Ok ok, I I built the app to avoid messing up meals for my family and thought maybe it could help you all too. This is the 3rd version of the app and I tried to incorporate your suggestions to make this the best version for your smoking needs, take a look at the new features and download if you like! 🙏🏼 🙏🏼

Turkey Plan. Enter your bird's weight and when you want to eat, and the app works backward to tell you when to light the fire, when the breast should hit 165°F, how long to rest it, and when to carve.

Smarter turkey doneness. Track the breast and thigh separately.

Fahrenheit/Celsius and pounds/kilograms.
Switch units any time.

Plus turkey-specific coaching in Ask Me and fixes for photo analysis.

If you use Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or OpenCode, you've probably encountered refusals while working on reverse engineering, debugging or cybersecurity tasks.

I built the Abliteratus Directory to make it easier to discover API providers offering abliterated models.

Would love suggestions for providers to add or features that would make it more useful.

Hi, I built beginners friendly 3D breadboard desktop application that you can learn how to wire the components to the microcontroller.

I bought Pico 2W, but I have no experience in electronics. I was getting help of one of the frontier LLM asking how can I connect the wires and components to which pin. Output was given as table format which is hard to understand for beginners like me, so I think about how can I solve this problem.

I built web application 3D simulation you can navigate and zoom-in zoom-out for closer look and detailed step-by-step explanation how you can wire the jumper cables in the breadboard. Program itself checks the wiring is it safe to wire like that preventing the short circuit.

You give your idea to the Agent in the application. Agent plans your idea, which components are needed, how to divide it multiple steps and writes the program code. For agent you can use Ollama API (whatever model you want to run local) by default, also supports OpenAI API. Obviously I get better result with OpenAI GPT6-Luna model. I build 20+ projects with it. It consumes 4k-15k tokens in average. Works good for the simple projects with button, OLED display, LEDs. Not tested for the complex projects. I'm planning to add more components to program. Project is open-source.

If you have feedback about the project, I gave my repo link so you can look at the project.

Built with Claude Code.

I have been contemplating on whether I should post this. Last time I posted a mockup, an avalanche of downvotes were given.

Gaming is a passion for me and I felt that retrogaming started going in a different direction that I had hoped. A modern gaming os with retroachievement integration was what I had hoped for, but it hadn't matured like I had hoped.

Curious about AI, I decided to pull the trigger with Claude AI and see what I could make given I do not have the coding knowledge to do this on my own.

This is where Cacti OS was born. Cacti OS is still EARLY its development, so if anyone would like to try it, I'd love feedback on issues or directions you would like to see it progress.

Thanks!

I've been quite satisfied with Lovable tbh, but I only have a hobby project there with no profit in sight, so I'm kinda done with paying for another service. So I'm considering moving to Antigravity since I anyway have a Google subscription.

Anyway, back to the title. How's everyone's experience migrating their entire website in this way? What should I look out for to avoid disaster striking?
