Hell, I use the (closed-source) app Smart Audiobook Player and I wanted Audiobookshelf integration. I asked Claude, it decompiled the app, added the extra code, recompiled the APK and it works perfectly, syncing my book's progress with the server.
Truly magical, it would have taken me months.
- DANmode 6mo agoThat’s super cool. If no post planned, please consider - that’s very “an app is a home cooked meal”, and I love it.
- stavros 6mo agoI could write something, but it would be "I told Claude to do this and it did, I'm happy", there isn't really much more detail to write about. What would you like to see?
- DANmode 6mo agoI’ve seen a few posts just like that ^_^ It’s mostly your original story of motivation, in brief prose, that does the heavy lifting of a satisfying post, followed by exactly what spec and names of tools you used, mundane as they may feel, your exact prompt(s) (because this is of technical interest in and of itself), and screenshots of excerpts/link to output. Things that stood out to you along the way would also stand out to others. The comment alone will probably be the most intriguing one I read all day.
- stavros 6mo agoHuh, sure, I'll write something up today! You can subscribe to https://stavros.io https://stavros.io to get an email (there's a form under each article).
- stavros 6mo agoMy god this took forever, legit 8 hours to write: https://www.stavros.io/posts/adding-a-feature-to-a-closed-source-app/ https://www.stavros.io/posts/adding-a-feature-to-a-closed-so... I did write a small app to do visual writing critique loops, though, because text feedback by Claude was confusing: https://github.com/skorokithakis/graphe https://github.com/skorokithakis/graphe
