Show HN: Claude Code in the Cloud

I've tried to build a mockup for a retro/"fantasy" OS; some details that you'd think are easy or obvious turn out to be time sinks once you try to perfect them.

Added to the growing bug report list :) Thanks for checking it out!

It's faster than McMaster-Carr.

That's high praise. :D

cute!! i love it. especially the recycle bin functionality.

one little note i have is the native scrollbar in the Music 'window' - i didn't realize there was more underneath the Spotify and Apple Music links at first.

jealousgelatin•4h ago

Thank you! And UX feedback noted and added to the docket!

Very cool but the back button is very buggy.

asynchronousx•5h ago

It pushed to the browser history too much, so the back button is basically navigating in place

echoangle•5h ago

I think the problem isn’t really pushing the browser history, but for me the windows don’t get reopened when navigating back. So from the desktop, I open 3 windows after each other but when going back, I get 3 times the Emory desktop. When directly opening the 3 steps from the history, it works though. On safari on iOS.

jealousgelatin•4h ago

Thanks for finding this! I bet this is because I was getting a bit fancy manually setting the urls and it probably messes with the state of the open windows.

Will have a look after dinner.

Might want to fix the link to your Youtube channel...

jealousgelatin•4h ago

Fixed, ty!

Merch mentions .mp3 which is weird.

Mailing list has no way to sign up but no indication that anything broke.

jealousgelatin•4h ago

Interesting, works on my end but I'll admit its slightly weird.

It should automatically make a POST to mailchimp and and open a new page showing your successful email list subscription.

I'd be curious what is happening in your network tab or if the navigation to the mailchimp success page is disabled somehow.

Let me know your browser and system anyway, would be much appreciated! Thanks for looking nonetheless!

mattl•3h ago

I don't even see the form on my phone. I suspect I'm just blocking Mailchimp outright. On desktop I see the form.

Having a linkedin page as a band is metal

> We have approved a series of musical releases for our employees to listen to while working. Far better than the standard music available on Spotify, we have found that listening to “Whispers from the Water Cooler” and other corporate approved releases can increase productivity of employees by up to 20%.

> For middle-managers, we have not found this same result and have therefore have limited their listening to the only song that had any positive effect, “I’m Not Cute, I’m Handsome”, an earlier release from CORP.

I love it. You made my day, thanks.

Nice

I'm a little bit of a music nerd and I really like 925. Love that vibe and the video too!

This is also featured in other Valve games. It's called vgui or something like that

Nice website and good music, thanks for sharing! I'm very happy that people still contribute to post-punk.

blindstitch•4h ago

I was hoping for some kind of easter egg if you drag the music into the trash.

Demiurge•3h ago

Very nice! Would be very cool to also add some apps, like Winamp and ICQ, or AIM :)

mrcwinn•3h ago

Judging by the incredibly smooth video streaming, something makes me think this isn't Windows 98 at all — but rather BeOS with a Windows theme applied. Bravo!

loving the decapitation queue in the console

Much snappier than most modern websites.

Double-clicking desktop icons is broken: the site is so fast the first click opens a window, and the second click registers inside the open window. This is probably a race condition.

I wasn't deliberately looking for bugs - I just subconsciously defaulted to double-clicking when I saw the UI.
