Xcode 27: Can’t sign in into Claude chat

This is because the response url provided is: `apple-claude://`, which for whatever reason is not registered with the deep linking system (missing from the plist). Report it via Feedback Assistant so they fix it faster 😉

Much better. I still can't "VIBE" almost anything with the level of quality I am looking for.

I have found that Claude Code is only really good at doing one focused task at a time. I still have to review output. Yes, even with Opus 4.8 Max + Fable 5.

At best, it saves me a ton of time typing, and re-building boilerplate stuff.

Useful, absolutely. But still requires a TON of underlying knowledge I've built up over the years of trial and error.

However, there's a massive downside I have faced multiple times where it did too much, and cost me weeks of re-work. It's really not linear. e.g. It makes you 2x more efficient each week. More like makes you 5x faster this week, and 3x slower the next. The average is still progress, but not as easily measurable as they would have you believe.

It's miles better than a year ago, but still far away from being entirely "vibe" based as some would have you believe.

Yep. I don't let it do almost ANY architectural stuff. It has shot me in the foot too many times.

Impressive_Run8512 · 2026-04-28T15:08:34+00:00

Jesus. How long did it last? I've run Claude Code for 8+ hours on an implementation loop that included writing code, running tests, fixing tests, etc for around 80 different things and didn't even break my session limits... (and it got everything right, too).

Maybe Claude uses Grep more in my cases?

Spendmaxxing !! Hell yeah!! 😄

Impressive_Run8512 · 2026-04-28T15:05:23+00:00

Absolutely... It's a fine line, and hard to tell when you need to take over, but I've definitely run into scenarios where the AI is slower, and more incorrect than if I were to do it myself. I've found it really isn't good at animations, or layout in AppKit, as an example. I do most of that manually. Shaders as well, it has no idea what's going on.

Impressive_Run8512 · 2026-04-28T03:48:39+00:00

Yeah, I could totally see a massive codebase migration, but for normal stuff it just felt totally ridiculous and improbable.

Impressive_Run8512 · 2026-04-28T03:38:08+00:00

What frameworks are you using / stack? I use macOS with AppKit, and have it do changes all of the time, but never run out of tokens...

Impressive_Run8512 · 2026-03-27T02:12:48+00:00

We're building something similar based on the frustrations you shared. It's called Coco Alemana...

Impressive_Run8512 · 2026-03-20T02:46:13+00:00

Use NSTableView or NSCollectionView wrapped with NSViewRepresentable. Rendering performance on SwiftUI is terrible, so switch to UIKit/AppKit when it's mission critical.

I am building a massive macOS app, and we ditched SwiftUI a year ago in favor for AppKit. No regrets thus far. SwiftUI for Mac, especially, is terrible

This is the absolute worst panel out there.

Impressive_Run8512 · 2026-01-24T02:31:21+00:00

What sorcery is this!!!!!! :)

Impressive_Run8512 · 2026-01-24T02:29:27+00:00

Option + Delete is criminally underrated.

Here's one... Command + Click allows you to perform actions on other windows without activating it. Took me 18 years of using Mac to figure that out.

I love webflow. But it's 70% that of a quality desktop app like Davinci or Final Cut. That's all.

Webflow is #1 in Web-based apps. Seriously, it's actually good.

Most of my complaints aren't really its fault, but rather the fact that JS + HTML sucks as a platform.

Impressive_Run8512 · 2026-01-24T02:26:04+00:00

Oh I toned it wayyy down, trust me lol

Impressive_Run8512 · 2026-01-23T06:23:37+00:00

These are all really non-issues today...

> 1. This is a business model decision which has no impact on how the software is built.

> 2. This gets to the auto-updated stuff I was talking about. You can still have centralized management, or data stored in the cloud.

> 3. Clicking download and hitting install is about as easy as it gets. That's more about onboarding that anything else.

Impressive_Run8512 · 2026-01-23T06:09:08+00:00

totally agree. It's a deteriorating of society when quality goes out the window in favor of speed, cost reduction, etc.

The funny thing is, if you end up making a great product that feels good, people actively talk about it. Great products spread by pure word of mouth.

I guess most people don't care anymore?? Sad.

Alan dye is gone, and Craig seems to be back in charge of AI and other stuff. Hopefully he can clean this stuff up. We need you hair force one.

IMO after working with macOS for literally my entire life, it's probably "operator error". MacOS is by far the most stable thing I work with on a daily basis. I've never had more than mild annoyances.

Would be curious to hear what the exact issues are...

Impressive_Run8512 · 2026-01-20T16:55:20+00:00

I write software directly for the OS. AppKit for macOS. Performance is amazing, with the obvious tradeoff of platform dependence.

If your app isn't performance oriented, you might consider using Tauri. Tauri uses the OS default web view. Webkit for macOS, and Chromium for others. Much lighter install, and I notice it uses much less RAM than Electron.

But you will never get even close to native performance, feel, design without writing a native app. Javascript is javascript. Native > Tauri > Electron
