The full story

The poster wanted to use Claude Code on their iPod, which is stuck on iOS 15, connecting to their own server. They did not want to use SSH because it needs another app, so they switched to a browser-based ttyd terminal.

ttyd worked well on an iPad but broke on the iPod, so they told Claude Code to build its own terminal from scratch. They say this took under ten minutes and that they wrote no code themselves.

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.

Privacy. No accounts. Analytics cookies (Google Analytics) only if you accept them; no ads or cross-site tracking. Searches are counted anonymously (just the words) to show what's popular, and so are clicks on Ask Claude (just the count).
