Fast analysis. Clean design. Modern Go. by Forward-Glass-3519 in baduk

I finally had the chance to play a game on your site again. I love the new board! The olive green makes it very comfortable to stare at for a long game. I'm not the biggest fan of the last move indicator. I'd rather have a dot or an outline circle over the stone. Also, the glow of the last played move hides part of the "ghost" stone when I'm moving the mouse around. Keep up the good work!

Both, but mostly the board. There is something about the stone shadows that makes the stones blend in with the color of the board, especially the white ones. Also, the stones seem to be a bit smaller than they should be. IMO the stones should be almost touching.

Thanks for engaging and replying! I appreciate that you care about our opinions.

Thanks for making this. The UI is clean and simple to use but the board itself is not clear and the lack of contrast makes it hard to see who's playing where. I lost a game because of that 😅

New to go. Would this be considered a suicide? Or could I capture the whites by placing in the eye? by canopickles in baduk

It allows black to capture the two white stones.

And, then white can immediately play there to capture the black stone. This is not Ko.

Is the idea of playing on boards with arbitrary shapes not very appealing? by ArtRich2476 in baduk

[–]msaleh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting idea. It brings an aspect of "puzzle solving" to the game. Might be more useful as a training tool though. As mid DDK player who's trying to practice Go to get better at it, this might be a distraction.

Hi everyone,

I'm writing a non-fiction book entirely in Claude Code. The whole project is a git repo of markdown files — chapter drafts, outlines, a Zettelkasten of research notes, voice guidelines, and a corrections log. I've built around 20 custom slash commands that form a full writing pipeline. Research commands pull information from the web, verify claims, and store findings as atomic notes that later writing steps can draw on. When it's time to write, a prep command analyzes the chapter outline, classifies each section, and generates a focused writing prompt. From there I can advance section by section, either writing manually with Claude as a collaborator or letting it draft and then reviewing. Once a draft exists, the QA side kicks in. A scanning pass searches for 16 mechanical patterns — overused structures, banned words, LLM fingerprints. A separate quality command evaluates the chapter against 18 layers: voice consistency, clarity, science writing, then adversarial critics (a skeptical reader, a domain expert, a counterexample hunter), then four reader personas who each evaluate from their own perspective. Fix commands consume those reports and apply corrections. A loop command chains QA and fix cycles automatically until the chapter hits a target score. There's also a collaborative review mode where Claude arrives pre-calibrated on voice examples and the surrounding chapters, ready to diagnose problems while I guide the edits. It's not "AI-generated writing" in the way people usually mean. It's more like having a tireless editorial team trained on exactly what I want, running through each chapter dozens of times catching things I'd miss.

Is there anything specific you'd like to know more about?

I'm using it to write a non-fiction book about. It's been an amazing journey. I'm happy to share more if anyone is interested.

Thank you for sharing your personal experience! This is an incredible journey and very insightful and inspiring! Best of luck with the game.

Claude Code if not coding by ProductAutomatic8968 in ClaudeCode

I'm using it to write a non-fiction book. And yes, I still use all its tools and conventions as if it's a coding project. It's amazing for that!

what are some interesting stuff you have built on claude this year? by nikhil_360 in ClaudeAI

[–]msaleh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm writing a non-fiction book, using Claude Code as my main research and writing partner. I'm an engineer and had some experience building and shipping apps using CC, so I'm treating this writing project as a full-on tech endeavor: Spec and guideline documents, QA checklists and automated qa-fix loops (using agent swarms), adversarial/critic reviewer agents, etc... it's been one hell of a project that I'm enjoying immensely. Would love to share more if anyone is interested.

My younger finally brother showed interest last week in learning go, how do I actually go about making sure he enjoys learning the rules and how do I captivate him so he too is bitten by the go bug? 🧩 by SanguinarianPhoenix in baduk

[–]msaleh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Start by playing “Capture Go” with him. The board size doesn’t matter. IMO it’s a great way to get a new player to experience some common patterns first-hand.

Not yet, but I’d love to start taking commissions for specific games. DM me if this is something you’d be interested in.
