The full story

A self-described bad singer had improved by using a singing app that scores pitch and timing, until that app changed. So they built OnKey, a free, open-source singing trainer for Apple Silicon Macs. It listens to the music you play and shows where your voice drifts off-key. It's written in Rust with Tauri and uses an ONNX pitch-detection model. The Hacker News post got 237 points.

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).
