The full story

Three sourdough starters had died because the poster forgot to feed them, so they built a Home Assistant integration to track it. It can be installed through HACS and follows a recipe they found on Instagram.

They used Claude Code to build it, leaning on 25 years of software experience to guide it, with pull requests and manual review before any code was merged. They say Claude helped them build in hours what would otherwise have taken much longer.

What this is. Real projects where people used Claude to build, fix, port, revive or take apart something, from jailbroken Kindles to rebuilt DOS games, plus the times it went badly wrong. Every build links to where it was shared, and every source is listed here.

How far to trust it. We summarise what people reported and say what each build rests on: a full write-up with code, a short post, or a passing comment. We haven't tested them ourselves. Photos are shown from the original sources with credit. Only modify hardware you own, and back up first.

Privacy. No accounts. Analytics cookies (Google Analytics) only if you accept them; no ads or cross-site tracking. Searches are counted anonymously (just the words) to show what's popular, and so are clicks on Ask Claude (just the count). The Claude connector only receives the search words your Claude sends it.
