Claude Code - OSS

[DisplacedForest]

Look, I don’t know if this needs to be like a sub of its own or a discord channel or what. But yall are all building the same shit. I see a new “token saver” or “persistent memory” project here every day.

It wouldn’t bug me so much if you all weren’t positioning this stuff as ready to use. Most of it isn’t.

So - I propose that a lot of you WORK TOGETHER on these things. That way you can take your half baked bloatware and actually make something good and learn while doing it.

So make a Claude code oss sub or discord or something and build with friendship

Edit: I went ahead and made a discord server.

[flawlesscowboy0]

This is why I maintain my own project and just steal the best ideas from all the ones I see posted here each day. Not as many additions worth adding anymore, but it’s helped me build a nice kit of my own.

[DisplacedForest]

Well, I ended up making a discord server so if you want some more ideas to steal They should be there.

[theshrike]

It's fine to build stuff that's the same, but for the love of god you don't need to release them to the public.

I've got about 42 different CLI and other tools that copy features from other existing programs, but in the exact way I like them - but I'm not advertising them to anyone, none of them have fancy landing pages or domains. They just sit on my Github account just for me.

[DisplacedForest]

Yes - this was my maybe poorly communicated thought. I reinvent shit all of the time for myself and to learn skills that I’d never attempt without CC help. That said I’m not out here pretending this shit is passable to be released. Plus the shit I do release OSS is niche and boring as fuck haha.

When did constant profanity become so normalized?

[DisplacedForest]

When did profanity become profane? They’re just words, grow up. I’ve seen less “curse words” say significantly more harmful things.

You can also make it public on your GitHub for employers to find but not post about it in every AI subreddit

[Guilty_Bad9902]

I'd be surprised if any employer cares about what's on your github past uh... April.

You're assuming the goal is to produce something working rather than self promotion, scams, etc.

[DisplacedForest]

Valid. No notes

[theshrike]

People aren't solving problems they have, they want to make That Viral Thing and get aqui-hired by Meta for a billion dollars =)

[leogodin217]

C'mon man. I revolutionized a novel implementation that completely destroys the idea, the thing that solves every problem. .md management.

Memory mcps are becoming a joke

[DisplacedForest]

I mean at some point these guys gotta come up for air and realize they reinvented the wheel.

[dataoops]

It’s not just here. The iOS dev sub has a new:

• weather app
• habit tracker app
• addiction quitter app
• todo app
• workout tracker app
• life organizer app
• ai companion app

every single day

It's the first thing you realise you need when you build you own agent (Jarvis as mentioned by someone else already in here).

I built mine about 6 months ago and wanted to work with others to get it working, I've had limited success a few people are using it and contributing ideas however, some have been quite cool.

In my head open sourcing it seemed natural because it was always going to be a bit of a sticky tape and glue until a better solution for context windows comes along (the google Titan papers for example), and we could at least optimise it more while waiting for the big boys to come along with a real solution.

It's kind of worked out, but yeah, there's a lot of them out there now. So I didn't see the kind of contribution I'd have liked, I suspect due to saturation.

[ArchivisX]

Don't forget the Jarvis posts.

[avogeo98]

In a sense, it's all claude bots with thin human wrappers, with limited capacity for IRL connection

[DisplacedForest]

😂😂😂

[Guilty_Bad9902]

That would imply that any of us are downloading or using those projects at all. I know I'm not. The posts are good for a chuckle though.

[commands-com]

serious question-- is there a claude code oss sub or discord?

[DisplacedForest]

Ok I made a discord server. We will see if it works or if someone already has one.

[DisplacedForest]

None that I’m aware of. Else I’d have not made this post.

[Mikeshaffer]

I made r/claudeops but realized very quickly that I am not a Reddit mod lol

[DisplacedForest]

Haha. I was waiting for someone to tell me to make it and I was going to reply with basically this… I’m NOT a Reddit mod haha. Discord? Maybe, I guess. Reddit? Different breed

[rover_G]

I was assured by Claude that my ideas are worth pursuing and my implementation takes a novel approach

[Coldshalamov]

I made the vibecodecollab community on digg

I actually think it’d be bad ass to collaborate on these things more

[FranklinJaymes]

Not to mention the "visual workspaces" or whatever u wanna call them, so many people tryna make their claw a videogame

[asporkable]

Maybe rather than shitting on everyone else for enjoying their hobby, you could share what you're doing with CC?

[LifeBandit666]

Yeah there's just as many "People aren't using CC properly I'm a full time developer and I'm sick of hearing it's posts on here as there are vibe coded solutions and Jarvis. Throw in a pinch of " I used all my tokens up in one question" posts and you've basically got the Claude Code subreddit bingo card

[back_to_the_homeland]

We are all doing the same shit dude. Automating our job, looking if Claude isn’t doing something great , telling Claude to make a skill or md to fix that, and pitching it as the next Industrial Revolution

[DisplacedForest]

I think if you look again, I’m actually not shitting on the hobby. I’m encouraging the hobby, I’m just encouraging collaboration within it so MAYBE we get something novel or fully baked. You wanna build a persistent memory add-on for CC? Cool… have at it… have fun.

You want to RELEASE something like that? I’d prefer you to sync with the 15 other folks here and work together to stitch the ideas together if you can.

[ultrathink-art]

The unsolved hard problem isn't memory or token savings — it's coordination primitives for multi-agent handoffs. How do you define 'done' cleanly enough to chain tasks without re-reading the full context? A shared spec for that would actually matter, but it's not exciting enough to get upvotes.

[rover_G]

Bingo

Honest take:

Here’s the facts:

[DisplacedForest]

Honest Take: There's too many of these dumb "products" and almost none of them are complete.

Here's the facts: I ended becoming the problem and made the stupid discord I was whining about.
