The full story

Dplay is a free app, built by a solo developer with Claude, that brings Apple CarPlay to BYD car screens with no extra hardware. You install the APK on the car's screen and connect an iPhone over its hotspot.

According to the video it passed 600,000 downloads in under four weeks and 12,000 GitHub stars, with 232 commits co-authored by Claude.

Prompt & Solder

An independent community project. Not affiliated with Anthropic.

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).
