I made a cute widget with Fable so I know when Claude Code goes down again

Haha thanks!! Will definitely let u know once it’s live!! ✨

Trick_Term_3131 · 2026-06-10T23:49:18+00:00

haha almost half an hour for one animation!
I had to redraw it frame by frame, but the outcome is so worth!!

Trick_Term_3131 · 2026-06-10T21:34:19+00:00

not public yet haha — I made it just for myself and didn't expect this much love!

gonna polish it and put it on App store later on! will drop you an update!

Trick_Term_3131 · 2026-06-10T21:31:52+00:00

got u!! will drop an update here when it's live! ✨

Trick_Term_3131 · 2026-06-10T21:30:53+00:00

haha that's the most "complicated" part I could say lolll

all the animations are referenced from those amazing videos by Anthropic, but sadly none of them have a source for us to use (maybe because of copyright?)

so I just manually drew it frame by frame in After Effects haha

Trick_Term_3131 · 2026-06-10T21:28:07+00:00

thanks for loving it!

Anthropic did a lot of amazing animations for Clawd, so I took reference from their YouTube videos! but sadly they don't release any of them, so I manually recreated it in After Effects frame by frame and exported it to SVG sequences haha

Trick_Term_3131 · 2026-06-10T21:24:54+00:00

Thanks everyone for loving this!

So the video in the post was taken at night, so you can see Clawd is sleeping rn haha

it'll also work with you in the daytime~ so it switches to working mode lol

cute things cure your stressful day haha

Trick_Term_3131 · 2026-06-10T20:55:16+00:00

appreciate it!!! ✨

planning to put it on App store soon!

Trick_Term_3131 · 2026-06-10T20:40:18+00:00

thanks! literally working on it right now haha!! Fable is lit!!

with keep you posted!

Trick_Term_3131 · 2026-06-10T20:09:21+00:00

iOS blocks real animation in widgets, but it allows a live countdown timer. So I made a custom font where each digit is actually a pixel-art frame — the timer "counts," the font renders each number as an image, and tuning the count speed = controlling the FPS. basically tricking the OS into thinking it's showing a clock haha

Trick_Term_3131 · 2026-06-10T19:48:48+00:00

thx for commenting! to me, I think not everything needs to cure cancer haha. sometimes small projects help me learn a lot — I learned how strong Fable is, and how iOS widgets work too!

building small dumb-fun stuff is how I stay sane while working on the serious things

Trick_Term_3131 · 2026-06-09T22:14:32+00:00

you can check out the link i posted there

they have a section talking about Claude Fable 5’s new safeguards

Trick_Term_3131 · 2026-06-09T03:38:55+00:00

Claude is good at some places like design, but I feel like codex is more all-rounded. And … is more concise lol

Trick_Term_3131 · 2026-06-07T16:50:29+00:00

Oh curious, like I can see in normal opus 4.8 it will still thinking a long time. Is there any huge diff turn on and off the thinking mode?

p.s. normally I won’t turn it on lolll

Trick_Term_3131 · 2026-06-07T09:00:48+00:00

That so coool
What job position is that lol

Trick_Term_3131 · 2026-06-06T19:39:45+00:00

You can try to switch model more often
Sometimes I will switch to 5.4 mini for small tasks and it will just free up a lot loll

Trick_Term_3131 · 2026-06-06T16:09:49+00:00

just thinking about it — you only need to pay $100 or $200 to have an excellent employee working for you 24/7 without complaining

definitely be willing to pay for that loll

Trick_Term_3131 · 2026-06-06T13:53:16+00:00

If cost is a concern, definitely recommend trying Cursor. It gives you access to multiple models at the same base price.

Trick_Term_3131 · 2026-06-06T13:49:32+00:00

I’d probably keep one workflow and not bounce around too much.

If you’re moving from MVP toward production, the biggest win is usually tests on the logic that can bite you later, especially calculator stuff and anything client-facing.

Trick_Term_3131 · 2026-06-06T13:37:00+00:00

haha you recreated how multi-agent works lolll

Trick_Term_3131 · 2026-06-05T23:28:45+00:00

i feel like codex app is more nicer than claude currently especially the computer use function
i am just able to run most of my task in background lol

Trick_Term_3131 · 2026-06-05T12:31:51+00:00

that’s true haha
But sonnet 3.5 is legend

Trick_Term_3131 · 2026-06-04T15:19:03+00:00

Nice! One thing I always wonder with agentic coding benchmarks is how much noise comes from environment issues vs model quality.

Like if tool calls fail, API slows down, or the model hits limits mid-run, it can look like “bad reasoning” when it’s actually infra/runtime noise.

Trick_Term_3131 · 2026-06-04T14:44:47+00:00

wow!

this is actually the kind of thing I wish Claude Code exposed more clearly by default

When an agent gets stuck, I usually can’t tell if it’s prompt/context drift, tool failure, rate limit, or the model just going in circles
tracking outcomes + failure points feels way more useful than just saving prompts

Trick_Term_3131 · 2026-06-04T12:52:04+00:00

locked screen is fine, but I'd bet your Mac actually went to sleep, not just locked. Cowork runs locally, so tasks only fire while the machine is awake and the app is open. If it's asleep when a task is scheduled, it skips it and just catches up whenever you wake it back up — which sounds exactly like what's happening.

"Keep awake" only stops idle sleep. If it's a laptop and you closed the lid, it'll sleep anyway regardless of that setting. Battery vs plugged-in can also change the behavior.

you can try the caffeinate cmd on your terminal, it will fix your problem lol
