The full story

This Hacker News comment quotes a viral claim: a 515-page website with 4.8 million users and $3M in annual revenue moved off Webflow in one weekend, with Claude Opus 5.5 doing the heavy lifting, and "nobody noticed". The commenter is scathing. They call the original post itself AI-written, and point out that the same AI could rebuild the business for a competitor too. Treat the claim as unverified.

What this is. Real projects where people used Claude to build, fix, port, revive or take apart something, from jailbroken Kindles to rebuilt DOS games, plus the times it went badly wrong. Every build links to where it was shared, and every source is listed here.

How far to trust it. We summarise what people reported and say what each build rests on: a full write-up with code, a short post, or a passing comment. We haven't tested them ourselves. Photos are shown from the original sources with credit. Only modify hardware you own, and back up first.
