The full story

Reviewing their subscriptions, a software engineer decided $15 a month for a workout app was too much and challenged themselves to build a roughly equivalent one in an afternoon. Claude Code wrote a detailed spec of features common to workout apps, Lovable built the first version from it, and then they refined it. The result is StrengthQuest.

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.
