I know, which seems absurd to me. Like, TUIs are 1) a solved problem, b) performant, and c) right there, on every single computer in the world. (Someone please correct me, to point out that there's some weird OS somewhere that doesn't have a shell, so I can say "Yeah, but does it run Claude?")
Is there an engineering-based reason, or is it that the AI knows React, so it's easier to vibe, and damn the user experience?
Claw-code (reached 100k stars on github and I have made an article about them[0]) are currently re-writing claude-code in rust (they have already ported it to python)
This is built by studying the leaked source.
"Clean-room rewrite" doesn't mean much when
you've read the original first — that's not
clean-room, that's copying with extra steps.
This is theft, plain and simple.
The stars on the original claw-code repo were
earned through the leak, not the work. Riding
that wave with another clone doesn't make it
original engineering.
Also worth noting: this wasn't submitted as
Show HN — it's being promoted through comment
threads instead. Make of that what you will.
Real open-source respects both the letter

As I was trying to find something on Netflix, I had a thought that would make searching with a remote much easier- disabling the keys that are impossible. Built a quick demo and was pleasantly surprised with the results.
I really like the HN/Twitter/Indie Hacker posts about solo founders building a boring, simple product. It inspires me to look for an unsexy problem and come up with a simple solution. I've seen some other similar sites but wanted to make my own because I don't like annoying popups and I just want to see a list. There are no ads, no "feed algorithms", no tracking, and no AI. Just a simple list (not even paginated!). Take a look around and I'd be appreciative of your feedback!
(most are solo-founder, minimal marketing, boring solution spaces, profitable. although some have grown significantly since their humble beginnings)
