While it isn't perfect, this is the clear next step for claude code.

The 2 most important features of this project are: 1. The UI with parralel session management tor resume any session 2. Checkpointing: the ability to undo claude's changes.

Where I see this going:

I can imagine this turning into the best MCP server client in the world. It has everything needed for it: full permissions to your computer and a prebuilt agent (that's really really good).

All that's remaining is a nice UI to manage and explore mcp servers in.

I'd love to build this myself and make it into a product, but I (can't believe I'm saying this) am going to lock into my 9-5 for the foreseeable future and this project deserves to be OSS.

I can't wait to see where this goes!

The most important features of this app are:

- local checkpointing (to undo changes)

- Parallel runs

- General Computer Use UI

This app uses your claude code account on your local computer so you can use any of the same /commands and mcp servers you would typically use.

Also we have a nice ui for file search and system message changes so that you can broaden your use-cases of claude code more easily.

I'm an indie dev working on this project with a full time job so focusing on what people want is extremely important. I'm looking for feedback and any other feature requests that you wish Claude code had natively!

It's been super fun playing around with this and now I'm building out a UI for it.

It works like this: input the repo you want to edit, the changes you want to make, and your anthropic/github keys.

Then we clone your repo into a VM, use claude code to modify it with your prompt, and push the changes!

You can easily change the branch so you don't mess up anything in prod and even use our 'templates' to script claude code with multiple messages to run sequentially so you can run workflows such as 'plan and execute' or automatically invoke an 'auto documentation' version of claude code.

We're really excited about what this release enables and are looking forward to all the apps this gets integrated into!

Some cool use cases we're looking forward to seeing are slack and text messages bots so you can text with your repos!

Instead of using codex, we use the superior coding agent: Claude Code.

The key feature of it is "templates" which allows you to script Claude Code to preform a sequence of prompts such as: - prompt 1: write a plan - prompt 2: implement the plan

This is extremely powerful and is what most "agent" apps consist of

From using the app everyday myself (mostly to build the site/coding agent), I've gotten better results than codex and at a much cheaper cost. I can more easily predict how much a run will cost because i control the workflow claude goes through.

The roadmap for this product isn't exactly clear so I'm looking for user feedback. The roadmap has 2 options:

1. I can compete head on with codex as a friendly UI general purpose coding agent.

or

2. I could have it be made for workflows, an API, MCP, and integrations such as triggering a template to run whenever a user commits to a repo with the template being a series of steps telling claude code to either create/run tests, lint, write docs, etc.

This 2nd option allows for use cases such as automatic documentation, tests, and code smells

Because of the need for user feedback, I'm giving each new user $5.00 of free credits (with no credit card needed) to easily try it out!

Let me know what you guys think and I'm open to all feedback!

Cloud Coding is a way to use claude code in a VM Sandbox.

The key feature of it is that you can script claude code to preform a sequence of prompts such as: - prompt 1: write a plan - prompt 2: implement the plan

There's a huge range of possibilities so I'm looking for early users' feedback. This is why i've given each new user $5.00 of free credits to easily try it out!

While it's true the app requires access to your repos, many apps do and there's really no way around it unfortunately.

I've just released v1 of Cloud Code which is essentially CodeX with Claude Code.

Luckily I've been building this before I knew openai was working on a similar thing so I've been able to take a Novel approach to it.

CodeX seems very agentic and a lot of control has been abstracted away so the model can work as the General Developer.

Cloud Code on the other hand gives an option for a high level of abstraction through our CodeX clone page https://cloudcoding.ai/chat but the real value comes in the form of our 'templates' which are pre-defined messages which are sent to claude code sequentially. An exmaple of this is sending a message to claude code to plan a task, then in your next message you say to do the plan.

With Claude Code, this can be 1 run rather than 2.

As this scales, we can create templates with 10+ steps and users can make domain specific templates for their specific applications.

I think that templates such as automatic linters, documentation, and test creation could be very beenficial so we'll soon be releasing either an API or Github Actions to allow people to set up triggers to activate their template with.

I'm very excited to build this and more, so welcome to the journey of an Indie Hacker going head to head with OpenAI...

I also wanted it to run in the cloud for long running tasks and so i can query it from my phone.

The site gives everyone free credits with no credit card needed and in my mind is better than Codex-1 because it gives you complete control over claude code, but mostly it's because claude code is just better than codex.

I'd like for you guys to be the judge though!

It lets you select a repo, a template of messages (or you can create your own) and you can then create your queries which runs through claude code synchronously to complete your task.

Our system is set up for long running tasks and is so new that it doesn't even support streaming yet, we just send the final message at the end of the run.

To test its effectiveness, I used it to create the mobile view for the cloudcoding site itself which works really well, meaning you can use it through your phone!

this seems simpler and more straight forward though
