I recently had a mind blowing experience recently building an app with Claude for someone that suffers with autism. Their basic complaint was "I can't work with most software. I think in colors". So I built them an PWA browser-based app designed specifically for the way they think, launched and updated via Github pages, with all data stored locally on their laptop.

Then I did something similar for my son, giving him a targeted job search app specific to his Gen-Z brain responds to, again launched off Github pages as a PWA, but this time with WebRTC to allow iPhone to laptop data syncing.

And along the way I realised there's probably whole host of people for whom software has never really worked. And I can built them things on a highly personalized basis that have only minimal reliance on cloud-based services.

And then I went a bit crazy and created a manifesto which I've done nothing else with https://harryf.github.io/reclaim/ ;)

I work as an interpreter (independent contractor) and recently built an automation with google sheets and apps script with claude code, funny enough Claude end up being better than anything google offers for their platform.

Basically the agency I work pays every two weeks and the time between I receive an assignment and the the time i get paid for that assignment is about 45minutes.

I built an automation, that when I get a new assignment it automatically adds the assignment to my calendar, to the spreadsheet and it calculates the mileage using google maps API.

Then the spreadsheet calculates how much I’m gonna get in the following 2 paychecks and the one that’s currently running.
