This is an extremely clunky and buggy prerelease, so don't try to hot fix prod from the toilet without a different mobile frontend.
Right now:
- You can't interrupt Claude (you press stop and he keeps going!)
- At best it stops but just keeps spinning
- The UI disconnects intermittently
- It disconnects if you switch to other parts of Claude
- It can get stuck in plan mode
- Introspection is poor
- You see XML in the output instead of things like buttons
- One session at a time
- Sessions at times don't load
- Everytime you navigate away from Code you need to wait for your session to reappear
I'm sure I'm missing a few things.
- amelius 8mo agoSounds like something that was vibe coded :)

- kirab 8mo agoI only understood it after reading some of co_king_5’s other comments. This is Poe’s law in action. I know several people who converted into AI coding cultists and they say the same things but seriously. Curiously none of them were coders before AI.
- tomashubelbauer 8mo agoIn theory, comments on Hacker News should advance discussion and meet a certain quality bar lest they be downvoted to make room for the ones that meet the criteria. I am not sure if this ever was true in practice, it certainly seems to have waned in the years I have been a reader of this forum (see one of the many pelican on a bike comments on any AI model release thread), but I'd expect some people still try to vote with this in mind. Being sarcastic doesn't lower the bar for a comment to meet to not get downvoted, so I wouldn't go thinking people miss the sarcasm without first considering whether the comment adds to the discussion when wondering why a comment is downvoted.
- efficax 8mo agoat the moment it's impossible to distinguish between AI boosters who really believe that Claude is nearly AGI and jokes about them
- ithkuil 8mo agoPoe's law?
- EQmWgw87pw 8mo agoTbh, after using it myself, I genuinely don’t see it writing code this buggy, so I don’t get what’s going on here
- MontyCarloHall 8mo agoI'm willing to bet you don't full-on YOLO vibecode like the lead Claude Code developer, running 10 Claude Code sessions in parallel to push 259 pull requests that modify >40k lines of code in a month [0]? There is zero chance any of that code was rigorously reviewed. I use Claude Code almost every day [1], and when used properly (i.e. with manual oversight), it's an amazing productivity booster. The issue is when it's used to produce far more code than can be rigorously reviewed.

- yoyohello13 8mo agoI'm willing to bet most of their libraries are definitely vibe coded. I'm using the claude-agent-sdk and there are quite a few bugs and some weird design decisions. And looking through the actual python code it's definitely not what I would classify 'best practice'. Bunch of imports in functions, switching on strings instead of enums, etc. I had to downgrade to an earlier release because an update introduced a regression where they weren't handling all of their own event types.
- short_sells_poo 8mo agoA few weeks ago the github integration was completely broken on the claude website for multiple days. It's very clear they vibe code everything and while it's laudable that they eat their own dogfood, it really projects a very amateurish image about their infrastructure and implementation quality.
- bonoboTP 8mo agoI think they are betting that any of this code is transient and not worth too much effort because once Opus 5 is traimed, they can just ask it to refactor and fix everything and improve code quality enough so that things don't fall apart while adding more features, and when opus 5.5 comes out it will be able to clean up after opus 5. And so on. They don't expect these codebase to be long lived and worth the time investment.
- adamtaylor_13 8mo agoThat's a bummer. I was looking forward to testing this, but that seems pretty limiting. My current solution uses Tailscale with Termius on iOS. It's a pretty robust solution so far, except for the actual difficulty of reading/working on a mobile screen. But for the most part, input controls work. My one gripe with Termius is that I can't put text directly into stdin using the default iOS voice-to-text feature baked into the keyboard.
- manojlds 8mo agoI use opencode web (server running on my desktop) and accessing it from my phone and it works well.
- bg24 8mo agoSame here. So I have to resort to speaking elsewhere (notes app) and copying/pasting.
- kzahel 8mo agoHow can the like most popular terminal emulator not accept voice input? That's crazy why hasn't someone made something better?
- elliotbnvl 8mo agoWispr Flow on mobile fills this gap.
- dionian 8mo agoit works in Blink. is there a better terminal in ios i should use
- elliotbnvl 8mo agoI’ve been doing this for a while [1], but ultimately settled on a building a thin transport layer for Telegram to accept and return media, and persistent channels, vastly improved messaging UX, etc. and ended up turning this into a ‘claw with a heartbeat and SOUL [2].

- paxys 8mo agoRemember 100% of Claude Code is written by Claude
- ponector 8mo agoWhy couldn't they prompt Claude code to fix all the issues?
- doix 8mo agoThere are probably multiple Claude agents running as we speak trying to fix the issues.
- gas9S9zw3P9c 8mo agoDoes that mean more issues will show up soon?

- graybeardhacker 8mo agoYou just tripled my productivity!
- co_king_5 8mo ago[dead]
- gedy 8mo agoYou jest but I was flabbergasted when doing some AI backed feature that the fix was adding a "The result you send back MUST be accurate." to the already pretty clear prompt.

- giancarlostoro 8mo ago> - You can't interrupt Claude (you press stop and he keeps going!) This is normal behavior on desktop sometimes its in the middle of something? I also assume there's some latency > - At best it stops but just keeps spinning Latency issues then? > - It can get stuck in plan mode I've had this happen from the desktop, and using Claude Code from mobile before remote control, I assume this has nothing to do with remote control but a partial outage of sorts with Claude Code sometimes? I don't work for Anthropic, just basing off my anecdotal experience.
- monkeydust 8mo agoStruggled with it also, given up (for now). I thought coding was a solved problem Boris?
- richard___ 8mo agoHe is trolling to increase the stock price before IPO
- consumer451 8mo agoOK, but seriously... if Anthropic is on the "best" path, aside from somehow nuking all AI research labs, an IPO would be the most socially responsible thing that they could do. Right?
- yosefk 8mo agoCoding is a solved problem. Problems with the code - these are far from solved, in fact they're multiplying, but coding is definitely solved
- ValentineC 8mo agoWhat does "solving" coding mean?
- lunarboy 8mo agoIt types code, wallah!
- david_shaw 8mo ago> What does "solving" coding mean? Maybe this was sarcasm, but it's a good point: "Coding" is solved in the same way that "writing English language" is solved by LLMs. Given ideas, AI can generate acceptable output. It's not writing the next "Ulysses," though, and it's definitely not coming up with authentically creative ideas. But the days of needing to learn esoteric syntax in order to write code are probably numbered.
- 8mo ago
- BloondAndDoom 8mo agoExactly my experience, I know they vibe code features and that’s fine but it looks like they don’t do proper testing which is surprising to me because all you need bunch of cheap interns to some decent enough testing
- debarshri 8mo agoThats not true. Even for testing things, you need to do thoroughly now because standards are high.
- djtriptych 8mo agoNo there is a wide gap between good and bad testers. Great testers are worth their weight in gold and delight in ruining programmer's days all day long. IMO not a good place to skimp and a GREAT place to spend for talent.
- throwup238 8mo ago> Great testers are worth their weight in gold and delight in ruining programmer's days all day long. Site note: all the great testers I've know when my employers had separate QA departments all ended up becoming programmers, either by studying on the side or through in-house mentorship. By all second hand accounts they've become great programmers too.
- mkreis 8mo agoSo true. My first job was in QA. Involuntarily, because I applied for a dev role, but they only had an opening for QA. I took the job because of the shiny company name on my resume. Totally changed my perspective of quality and finding issues. Even though I liked the job, it has some negative vibes because you are always the guy bringing bad news / critizing others peoples work (more or less). Also some developers couldn't react professionally to me finding bugs in their code. One dev team lead called me "person non grata" when coming over to their desk. I took it with pride. Eventually I transitioned to develoment because I did not see any career path or me in QA (team lead positions were filled with people doing the job for 20+ years).
- 8note 8mo agooh. i was excited for a native alternative to happy coder, or sshing to a tmux session, but i guess not:/
- buremba 8mo agoI think they should be aware that CC is big enough codebase that they can't vibe code anymore.
- ashot 8mo agocheck out codecast.sh its so far ahead :)
- melecas 8mo ago[dead]
- botverse 8mo agoOn top of that is something they should have had from earlier times. My biggest pain point is to not to be able to continue from my phone. I just use a service to pipe telegram to any cc session in the dev machine. This is the number 1 reason why I got excited by openclaw in the first place but its overkill to have it just to control cc
- bonoboTP 8mo agoAlso broken for me. First of all /remote-control in the terminal just printed a long url. Even though they advertise we can control it from the mobile app (apparently it should show a QR code but doesn't). I fire up the mobile app but the session is nowhere to be seen. I try typing the long random URL in the mobile browser, but it simply throws me to the app, but not the session. I read random reddit threads and they say the session will be under "Code", not "Chats", but for that you have to connect github to the Claude app (??, I just want to connect to the terminal Claude on my PC, not github). Ok I do it. Now even though the session is idle on the pc, the app shows it as working... I try tapping the stop button, nothing happens. I also can't type anything into it. Ok I try starting a prompt on the pc. It starts the work on the PC, but on the mobile app I get a permission dialog... Where I can deny or allow the thing that actually already started on the pc because I already gave permission for that on the PC. And many more. Super buggy. I wonder if they let Claude write the tests for their new features... That's a huge pitfall. You can think it works and Claude assures you all is fine but when you start it everything falls apart because there are lots of tests but none actually test the actual things.
- isehgal 8mo agoOmnara founder here. We’ve been building in this space for a while, and the issues listed here are exactly the hard parts: session connectivity, reconnection logic, multi-session UX, and keeping state in-sync across devices. Especially when it comes to long running tasks and the edge cases that show up in real use.
- swordsith 8mo agobot
- panarky 8mo agoNot just the mobile app, but also Claude Code Web is super unreliable. Frequently chews through lots of expensive Opus tokens, then it just stops with no communication about why or what's next. No way to tell what it's done, what's remaining to complete. Only choice is to re-run everything and eat the cost of the wasted time and tokens.
- swordsith 8mo agoThis is my general experience with the claude app, I don't know what they're smoking over at anthropic but their ability to touch mobile arch inappropriately with AI is reaching critical levels.
- xhcuvuvyc 8mo agoIdc, thanks for shipping early.
- Cameri 7mo agoYup, it's very broken at this time, that's if you manage to get a reliably connection or the session to even show up.
