Hey there!

I started this project off as a fun little excercise with the claude AI coder. I wanted to see what it would come up with for a bink protocol implementation (wanting to automate posts from the command line remotely for things like news sources and weather reports in my region).

It ended up writing a daemon, a poller, scheduler and a web interface. We've been developing it over the past week and it seems to be working alright.

The web interface is also a PWA and "installable" on desktop and mobile making it easy to quickly check for new messages on the go.

There's still a long way to go before it does everything I want but it's been fun to play with using Claude.

I'm running a point at https://mypoint.lovelybits.org, and there is a github repository @ https://github.com/awehttam/binkterm-php

Anyone interested in working on it is welcome to join in :)

Cheers

How long ago did you actually start the project?

How have you found it in creating things, does it need many corrections?
What type of feeding was required to get the result's you've gotten?

What you have sofar looks impressive, and just pondering how much is AI generated vs you?

I gather you've used the paid version?

Hello Stephen!

I am using Claude Code its command line oriented tool with the Claude Pro Plan. My interactions with it tend to be task oriented where I'll ask it
to implement a certain feature, then I test it and instruct (or follow instructions depending on what help it needs) to debug and correct issues.

The majority of the code has been written by Claude with myself acting more
as an "AI Operator" and trouble shooter. The speed at which it can write
a bunch of code makes up for time spent having to baby sit it at times.

There have been times where it's gotten itself confused on very simple problems, but keeping an eye on it and studying the code it writes helps
to detect when it's taking a bad approach.

It explains what it will do (you can also tell it to propose solutions
rather than do the work) and I give it approval or give it more context
to work with.

As an example for speedy implementation: This morning I asked it to add an address book to the netmail section of the site. The prompt was something along the lines of, "We need to add an address book to the netmail page.
Add the address book to the left side of the page, and provide an option
to save the sender of the message" (paraphrased). It went off and added
it, and within half an hour I had a working address book feature.

I could have been much more specific in giving it a more thorough design however I find it interesting to see what it comes up with on its own.

Like adding mobile gesture support to let me swipe through echomail
messages, not only did it do a stellar job of adding the swipe gestures it even added keyboard support so I can use my cursor keys on desktop. I
didn't ask for it, but it knew of that approach and incorporated it.

You can also say things like "Change the sysop news to say something the latest features" and it'll update the news file.

Unfortunately it can be forgetful as well, and it has its bad days just like us humans.

Overall I'd say it's worth the cost especially at < $30 a month for the pro plan. It wouldn't replace a programmer but it sure helps out and justifies
the cost pretty easily vs. time if I had written it from scratch myself.

Cheers
