Anyone else having a terrible experience with Claude Code's remote control?

leddo — Sun, 05 Apr 2026 03:39:24 +0000

It's constantly going down. I'll kick off a task, walk away, come back and the connection dropped with no way to recover the session. Yesterday it was completely unavailable for hours.

And even when it works, you can't see anything visual. If I ask Claude to build a UI component, I have no way to see what it actually looks like on my machine.

I'm flying blind, approving changes to a button I've never seen.

Am I the only one who feels like remote AI coding should be way further along than this?

Show HN: Yoink functionality from dependencies and avoid supply chain attacks

kstonekuan — Sun, 05 Apr 2026 03:13:31 +0000

yoink is a Claude Code plugin that removes complex dependencies from your codebase by reimplementing only the functions you actually use.

yoink runs as a three-step, agent skills-based workflow:

1. /setup clones the target repo and scaffolds a replacement package.

2. /curate-tests generates tests verified against the original's expectations.

3. /decompose determines dependencies to keep or decompose based on principles such as "keeping foundational primitives regardless of how narrow they are used".

We built yoink in response to the five major supply chain attacks that happened in two weeks, including LiteLLM and axios. We install most of these packages without thinking twice.

Andrej Karpathy recently called for re-evaluating the belief that "dependencies are good". OpenAI echoed this in their harness engineering article: agents reason better from reimplemented functionality they have full visibility into, over opaque third-party libraries.

yoink makes this capability accessible to anyone.

Refer to the GitHub repo to install the plugin to Claude Code: https://github.com/theogbrand/yoink

Love to hear what you think!

Show HN: mailtrim – find what's actually filling your Gmail inbox

chevuru — Sun, 05 Apr 2026 02:53:21 +0000

I always assumed Gmail bloat came from large attachments. Turns out 3 senders were responsible for 30% of my inbox — thousands of tiny emails I'd never thought to clean up.

  I built mailtrim to surface this pattern:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
                                           
  - ranks senders by actual storage impact (not just count)                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
  - confidence scoring on what's safe to bulk-delete

  Free, open source (MIT).

  One friction point upfront: Gmail API setup is one-time, ~15 min.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
  After that it's just `mailtrim stats` and `mailtrim purge`.      
                                                             
  Keen to hear feedback on the confidence/safety model especially —                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
  that's the part I'm least sure I've got right.
