Write-up ↗

The full story

The maker built a web application with a Homeview-style interface and put it on an old iPad. They also report it working on a seventh-generation iPad. The post explicitly credits Claude development and shows the result.

At the time of the post, five people were testing it, with access being rolled out through the project website. The maker also offered a 3D-printed display model. Wider compatibility and the public release were still being tested.

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.
