is this the Figma/Canva/Powerpoint/Keynote killer?

This largely appears to be a HTML generator at its core, not necessarily what Figma does with layers/canvases etc. There's no collaborative nature to it either.

It feels like a lightly designed product that moves claude CLI to their backend, generates the HTMLs and renders them in browser on claude.ai website for you. Sure, it accepts your design system as an input from you or imports from your repo, but you could feed the same into claude CLI as well?

I'm curious what exactly it gives besides having claude CLI + prompting it well with your design system + skills.

The IBM/Microsoft analogy is a classic. It’s always fascinating to watch these 'frenemy' dynamics play out. In these cases, the one who owns the direct interface with the end-user usually wins the long game, while the 'infrastructure' partner risks becoming just another utility. Will be interesting to see if Canva can maintain its identity or just become a shell for Claude's output.

Yep agree it looks like it’s taking the existing generated artefact, parameterising it within an inch of its life, exposing a pseudo WYSIWYG for the parameters and calling it a day with a few export options. Not a huge leap from what they’ve got already but it’s a clever adjacent step for sure. Same product new chrome.

Considering Canva collaborated with them, no?

Maybe a collaboration with a metaphorical gun to your head.

Canva has more expansive editing tools but I agree, it seems like a frenemies situation.

Or one from a place of unfounded hubris.

IBM also collaborated with Microsoft for the OS and we know how that ended.

First NanoBanana came for the artists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not an artist.

Then Claude came for the designers with Claude Design, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a designer.

...

Claude code also came for us. Is anything sacred? Middle management?

Does the model card fit in the model's context :)

well it will saturate your 5h limit window at least

Is there a way to do it at network level.

There are too many devices with different accounts and apps and guest access ... like YouTube app on Smart TVs.

So a side effect of this is -- even at 1 hour caching -- ...

If you run out of session quota too quickly and need to wait more than an hour to resume your work ... you are paying even more penalty just to resume your work -- a penalty you wouldnt have needed if session quota was not so restrictive in first place, and which in turn causes you to burn through next session quota even faster.

Seems like a vicious cycle that made the UX very poor. I remember Claude Code with Pro became virtually unuseable in middle of March with session quota expiring within first hour or less for me -- which was wildly different experience from early March.

This is how it manifests on Claude Code terminal and desktop for me --

API Error: 529 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"overloaded_error","message":"Overloaded"},"request_id": "xxxxxxx"}

Experienced this -- was repeatedly directing CC to use Claude in Chrome extension to interact with a webpage and it was repeatedly invoking Playwright MCP instead.

Concluding passage:

> Authors should have their work proof read

Agreed.

Opening passage:

> A quick plot of the latitude and longitude shows some clear outliners

"outliners"

Ouch!

OP here. Ouch indeed. I did actually get it proofread. But that was missed. I can't fire my proofreader, as we are married. ;0)

Now fixed.

Ha ha. That was quick. Well done :)

Not fixed at this hour

You might need to do a refresh.

Uh yeah I've heard of that! It's the first thing I did after reading you had fixed it. So either you said it right before actually fixing it, or my browser is caching a bit too aggressively, or perhaps your CDN took some time to propagate the change over to this side of the world. I got downvoted over this. "Hilarious"

It wasn't me that downvoted you!

I figured. Thanks

Is this a reaction in part to the threat posed by the launch of very affordable Macbook Neo; and partly the rise of AI Agents like Cowork that will drive massive demand and scale of sanboxes and virtual machines and Windows OS is not a great fit for that today.

Has anyone does this for VIZIO app that controls among other things their soundbars (circa 2019)

I moved to a different country and the app is not on google play store in the new geography.

Even when it is installed somehow it is absolutely unreliable in pairing or controlling the device.

Wish I had time to go on a quest and reverse engineer and build my own better controller.

Might be worth taking a weekend day and letting claude code reverse engineer the apk (just download the apk off google) and then build an open source app with the functions you need

Can we have a hardware level implementation of git (the idea of files/data having history preserved. Not necessarily all bells and whistles.) ...in a future where storage is cheap.
