Claude possesses remarkable capabilities. Despite having no prior coding knowledge, I successfully developed two Android applications, three Python/HTML projects, and a trading indicator for TradingView. However, there are two notable limitations associated with Claude. Firstly, it quickly reaches its message limit, even after purchasing additional capacity. Secondly, when processing lengthy code, it abruptly halts and indicates that it has reached its maximum output capacity.

[@bartekjach8921]

Not ideal but there are workarounds. For limits, use API. For halted outputs/code, just ask it to continue where it left off. You will have to combine the responses but it’s relatively quick.

[@akinoye]

I’ve been looking for a gimbal to help me record my daughter’s wedding and the Hohem ISteady has some amazing features which look really useful. Being able to set it up and use the remote control to record would be awesome and the black version would be less obvious. Thanks for some very informative gimbal videos which I’ve now got to rethink which would be best.

[@subramanianchenniappan4059]

This is amazing . I am a techlead . Please show a little bit complex app than a to do list app

[@MichaelBrownPlus]

So it’s able to clone the dozens and dozens of open source todo repos and show you that code in a UI. Where’s the database? Does it setup CI/CD? What if there’s an obscure bug how would someone with zero coding experience even know how to approach it? What about DB integrity? Logging? Security? Hosting and domains? Storing secrets? And way down the rabbit hole of policy, governance, compliance? Sure it’s fun but it’s not replacing a top notch dev team not even close.

[@SkillLeapAI]

That level is probably years away. This just make some react based apps that are very basic

[@MichaelBrownPlus]

@@SkillLeapAI it's getting better the older models GPT4 would give me decent code help when I needed it, Omni is getting much better. Tools like Codium and GitHog Copilot are useful. The only issue is the complexity of orchestration, backend dataases/services, mobile platforms, etc. require a ton of knowledge in those areas to simply understand what to even ask. Not bad to help those learn wish I had these resources 25 years ago...

[@zoeherriot]

Absolutely - years away. But before it replaces teams, I think it will create an explosion of products and work. It’s decades before software engineering disappears as a job. Fact is - we still don’t know if we can make an LLM sufficiently “intelligent” to do all those things correctly in the real world.

[@Thebibleauthority]

[@dbreardon]

I saw another video on using Claude to develop apps. In the case of both the "Todo List" show here as well as a "NoteTaking" app in another video, you would also have to use Claude and Replit to code in a backend database. Without the database to hold the information, any online app would only hold information while it is running on a webpage. As soon as you close it, the data is lost. Thus the need to a database (I think another users video used Firebird database or something like that). Claude is supposed to be able to tell you how you do this and then you do it manually in Replit. But just think of all the little apps and utilities you could build. Heck, with an Ai api code you could probably build your own Ai interface arranged the way you like it

[@M3Disruptive]

agreed, this makes you neither a software developer nor a software engineer. I guarantee you will get to a point where you must write code and figuring out where and how to integrate it into this could (will most likely) be an absolute nightmare.

[@charliehxpe]

How do you go back and forth with the AI? Meaning, how do you "show" to Claude, which element of the web app you are referring to and that you need improved. Do you take a screenshot of that element and then explain what you need? Do you look at the code and try to find the reference in the code and then explain? What's your approach? Thanks 🙂

[@harbime]

[@iynlac1347]

Yeah but how do you publish the app that you coded?? Or how do you do anything with it .

[@ferrarix1]

excellent stuff, as usual. one question, should the app be hosted within the claude environment for teamwork, should all the users need 3.5 sonnet access to use it ?

[@SkillLeapAI]

No I don’t believe so. It’s make a public URL to the end product. It doesn’t share the source code.

[@flybeta]

This is really cool, my father check one of his apps and he wasn't in ios store any more. I had already started to create a project in react this just speeds it along gives me a interface to base it on. bit tricky getting the debugger working and the emulator. But you can just ask ai Lol.

[@Stanley68]

[@ThrowBackZone]

I’m impressed, but is anyone else skeptical about the limits of Claude’s AI for app development? 🤔

[@zoeherriot]

It’s not great. I used it for a month (I’m a AAA game engine dev) - and for anything complex it’s garbage. It can’t do anything it hasn’t seen training data for - since it’s still just a statistical model. So you won’t be creating anything new or original with it, you’ll still be getting buggy and insecure code, and it doesn’t always use best practices. I’m sure people can make apps with it, but like when the App Store opened, there will be a race to the bottom in terms of quality as a result.
