The full story

Care Symbols is a free iPhone app that reads clothing care labels with the camera and explains each laundry symbol in plain language. It runs on the phone, with no account and no ads.

Its maker says they built it end to end with Claude: the idea and plan, collecting and generating the training data, and training and evaluating the vision model.

According to its App Store page, the app has since added more than 25 languages.

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.
