Ask HN: What have you built/shipped with Claude Code?
10 points by blhack 148 days ago
I'm trying not to get too caught up in the hype here. I'm curious what you've actually built or shipped so far with claude-code.

I made a little phonics flashcard game for my kids https://apps.apple.com/us/app/3letterstories/id6753956099

Also related to that: a tool to fine tune the images on the flash cards (which are all AI generated on gemini).

Some internal tooling - a self contained page that does JSON/python dict visualization - this obviously exists already.

Nothing big yet, but it's only been a couple of days. This tool does seem really good at building frontends/dashboards.

Tens of small/one-time apps or scripts that I needed done, and Claude provided them in seconds.

A few medium to big projects:

- a scraper of product pricing in shops near me, to track inflation over time

- a clone of typeform, but more customized on my needs

- end-to-end automation of managing facebook ads campaign (create/track/scale)

- dashboard to automate managing comments on multiple facebook pages

- a classic polymarket bot

- a pdf editor inbrowser so all my data stays local

- a landing page generator for ecommerce, just give the product description

- a slideshow generator using nanobananapro

- an infinite canvas to work in to generate images, with nodes

- agent automations to test AI voice agents in calls

Anything that comes to mind I can setup and deploy in a few minutes.

Nothing groundbreaking but it's all stuff that I didn't know how to do before, and now I know how to build/maintain/backup/upgrade with ClaudeCode. I know most senior devs would say "well this was all doable before" but they forget that not everyone had all the necessary skills to do all this stuff. Now it's a one man job.

I am using Opus -> Native app flow to build the apps I need quickly. This is crazy how much I don't know, but still getting stuff done.

All three just this month. Each of them took me several hours, because they're not vibe coded but carefully reviewed and refined until I was reasonably happy with the resulting code. Could I have written them myself? Sure. Would I ever have started without claude? Hell no.

What if I built and shipped with something besides Claude Code?
