Not so experienced with Claude Code, but the web version does the job for me. I mean, I don't create very complex stuff for others (mostly websites and simple apps) but it did some things that I am proud of (I'm not a dev - have some exp with python, but even that is really basic stuff. So, here's what I do (makes it really easy to do stuff (at least simple stuff I do):
- Start a new project and discuss every single detail about it with Claude.
- Tell it to write a txt or pdf summary of everything and place that file in project knowledge.
- After that tell it to give you a complete project structure and create it
- Then simply start populating the files.
- Place each file in your project knowledge so it can see it
After this it's just debugging which mostly goes smooth as well
I've been playing with it for almost two years now, and this is what gets me there. ChatGPT never got even close to it.
Thia ia exactly how I use Claude and it makes my life easier. I'm not a dev, started learning Python somewhere around a year ago. Then tried to play around with Claude and to be honest, I got pretty good at it :D Built several websites, apps (the bottom ones mostly for myself - but one is being used by a record label my friends run and I'm pretty proud of it). There are a lot of pros and cons for doing these things (not sure I'd dare to go production and distribute anything publicly before a full code audit), but I'm sure that these tools are gonna get so good at it (if they're not already) that I'll be confident to release stuff. The best thing that happened with me playing with Claude is - even though I can't code, I leared a lot about stuff around it - git, terminal, deps, etc. So I'm definitely enjoying this
Well, you're like then opposite version of me :D I was into physical products and services most of my life, and from recently I'm just trying to create stuff that can be sold digitally :D Still not there, but slowly getting to it.
