Ask HN: What have you built/shipped with Claude Code?

Tens of small/one-time apps or scripts that I needed done, and Claude provided them in seconds.

A few medium to big projects:

- a scraper of product pricing in shops near me, to track inflation over time

- a clone of typeform, but more customized on my needs

- end-to-end automation of managing facebook ads campaign (create/track/scale)

- dashboard to automate managing comments on multiple facebook pages

- a classic polymarket bot

- a pdf editor inbrowser so all my data stays local

- a landing page generator for ecommerce, just give the product description

- a slideshow generator using nanobananapro

- an infinite canvas to work in to generate images, with nodes

- agent automations to test AI voice agents in calls

Anything that comes to mind I can setup and deploy in a few minutes.

Nothing groundbreaking but it's all stuff that I didn't know how to do before, and now I know how to build/maintain/backup/upgrade with ClaudeCode. I know most senior devs would say "well this was all doable before" but they forget that not everyone had all the necessary skills to do all this stuff. Now it's a one man job.

I am using Opus -> Native app flow to build the apps I need quickly. This is crazy how much I don't know, but still getting stuff done.

All three just this month. Each of them took me several hours, because they're not vibe coded but carefully reviewed and refined until I was reasonably happy with the resulting code. Could I have written them myself? Sure. Would I ever have started without claude? Hell no.

What if I built and shipped with something besides Claude Code?
