The full story

OKstays began with the maker reading low-rated hotel reviews before booking. Claude now reads recent and poor reviews and combines them with a second search across other review sites to score 67 comfort signals. Repeated serious complaints can exclude a property from rankings.

The maker reports re-scoring 30,500 properties for about US$1,070 in batched API calls. Rankings are the service's analysis of reviews, rather than independent inspections. The site is free to browse and earns booking commissions.

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.
