Strong agree. Needs another pass or two at editing though, some painful LLM-os sticking out there :'(

And the people that still get excited about life!

It's a usability / quality of life feature to me. Nothing to do with increasing perceived confidence. I guess it depends on how much you already (dis)trust LLMs.

I'm finding more and more often the limiting factor isn't the LLM, it's my intuition. This goes a way towards helping with that.

Looks like it's an order of magnitude off. Missprint?

This is something Opus 4.6 likes to generate a LOT for some reason.

Show HN: Multiplayer realtime text-to-website demo (live edits via Sonnet 4.6)

elliotbnvl — Thu, 26 Feb 2026 14:50:03 +0000

Hi all, author here.

This is a live, multiplayer "text-to-website" sandbox: people type requests in chat, and the site updates in real time. It’s powered by Sonnet 4.6.

I built it as a public demo of what current AI agents can actually do on real web code. It’s running on my own infra / API budget for now, so usage is rate-limited.

Under the hood it uses the same stack as the core product, including Bareclaw, a thin Claude Code CLI wrapper for custom clients. [1]

Inspiration came from Pieter Levels’ recent “chat with your website" tweet. [2]

Hi all, author here. Please don't go to this website. It's expensive for me. It's a realtime multiplayer text-to-website chat, powered by Sonnet 4.6, that I built to showcase the incredible agency and speed frontier models have attained. I am paying API costs out-of pocket. Call it a business expense?

It's inspired by Pieter Levels' tweet about chatting with his websites. [1]

It uses the same tool under the hood as the core web offering, bareclaw [2], a thin Claude Code CLI wrapper I created to enable custom CC client creation while leveraging your Claude Max subscription.

New comment by elliotbnvl in "Following 35% growth, solar has passed hydro on US grid"

elliotbnvl — Wed, 25 Feb 2026 18:55:37 +0000

I have a goal of setting up solar on my property in the woods that goes directly to a wall of batteries, maybe Tesla, maybe something else. But definitely not going back into the grid. Does anybody have suggestions or advice on how to do this?

Who are the best companies doing this right now in New England? What products are folks using to store electricity? Are there any good resources for this kind of thing?

Happy you liked it! Always really nice to get positive feedback.

I’ll have to check out the journaling article. I’ve been journaling a lot more lately!

I’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].

Amidst all the ‘claw hype, folks have lost sight of the fact that we already have a high quality, trusted coding agent that with a few lines of code can become proactive, recursively self improving, and is supported by a large dedicated engineering organization who are commercially incentivized to improve it.

Claude Code is all you need.

Well, that and a persistent transport layer that exposes a messaging endpoint you can text from your phone. And that’s bareclaw: just ~1200 LOC of TypeScript and you’re off to the races on the Claude Max plan with no OAuth token theft hijinks.
