I created a Claude Skill that make beautiful slides on the web. The world hasn't woken up to the fact that code can create much better slides than most PPT tools. - Claude interviews you first about aesthetics, then generate a few directions to "show not tell", and you can pick your favorite - Cool transitions and animations - Interactive hover states and cursor effects - Auto-fits on any screen - Supports converting existing PPTX files to web-based slides; preserves original images and brand assets I asked Claude to make a slide show about this skill to showcase what it can do.

I created a complete walkthrough of my Frontend Slides skill (22k+ stars on GitHub): - Complete demo of how to create beautiful HTML slides with Claude Code (beginner friendly) - How I created the skill - How you can create your own skill - Tips like how to insert images/videos into deck, how to publish - Lessons I learned (11-min video, YouTube link below)

PSA: You can vibe code your own "New tab" page in Chrome. I have turned mine into the ultimate solution to the "too many tabs" problem - See all your tabs with clear titles, grouped by domain - Closing any tab gives you "swoosh" sound and confetti effect 🎊 - "Easy wins" grouped together: homepages, localhost tabs... batch-close them with one click - Duplicate tabs detected; close duplicates with one click - For tabs you're not done with, save it for later in a checklist This is the Marie Kondo method for browser tabs Open-sourced the code below

Just built with Gemini 3: a video recording tool where the AI gives you real-time prompts based on what you're saying, so you never get stuck. Everyone should have their own podcast host. It's amazing that Gemini comes with native integration with the camera, and I can actually export these videos as MP4. Like everything just works.

I built a Chrome extension that turns your "read later" list into dedicated reading time on your calendar. Save 5 articles → it auto-books a 30-min "reading block" on your Google calendar, links included. So you'll actually sit down and go through them. No account, no server, everything local. Open source (link below)

Introducing "codebase to course", a skill that turns any codebase into an interactive coding course So that you can learn coding through your own projects, complete with visualization, plain-English code translations, metaphors, even quizzes... I vibe code a lot but have no idea how the code works under the hood. This is how I think "learning to code" should be in the AI age: Build first, learn later Link below

This 20-min presentation, "Code as a Medium for Storytelling", is an encapsulation of all my recent thinking on vibe coding as a non-technical person I also showcase 5 projects I built (all of which were viral on X), and 7 lessons on effectively working with coding agents

We built TLDW (too long, didn't watch), a tool that helps you learn from long YouTube videos better & faster. AI video summaries are solving the wrong problem. You don't need a generic text summary of a 1-hour video. You need the 5 minutes that actually change how you think. TLDW finds those moments for you. Demo 👇 Try now at: tldw dot us

Built a "YouTube realtime copilot" browser extension using OpenAI's realtime 2 API: The agent watches the video alongside you, and can answer any question you have about what was just said via realtime voice chat. The crazy part to me is: It can differentiate the YouTube's audio stream and your voice, so it doesn't confuse the video as commands, and stays silent unless you ask something!

Built with Gemini 3: a video recording tool that simulates a live stream, with AI-generated audience commenting about what you're saying in real time & hyping you up So you can feel more confident when recording videos & get ideas for what to talk about next. Video can be exported as mp4. Made in Google AI Studio (prompt below)

Claude Code built me an insane workflow: Turn podcast transcripts into EPUB ebooks, so you can have a personalized weekly magazine! Every week, it will - Fetch new videos from your specified list of YouTube channels - Get their transcripts, remix them into polished magazine articles - Deliver them into your inbox as a newsletter + EPUB file which you can read on any ebook reader Published it as a Claude skill; link below

Holy shit, Gemini 3 just helped me build an application that allows me to scroll content on my computer with my fingers IN THE AIR using hand tracking. Introducing "Greasy Hand", perfect for when you're cooking and need to scroll the recipe but don't wanna touch the computer.

Built an AI-powered dictionary, using Google Gemini 3! This is my dictionary dream come true: - Visual definition - Chat with AI about word - Usage note with cultural context - Natural pronunciation - Flashcards & stories to help aid memory - Contextual explanation for proper nouns (like people & places)

This went viral, so I built an enhanced version: A video recorder where the AI talks back at you to give you live inspiration, via either voice or text on screen. And it can magically remove the silent parts of the video with 1 click, so you can download a clean video. I was SHOCKED when this video editing feature just worked in Google AI Studio.

What if Claude Code communicated to you via beautiful TypeForm-like webpages, instead of texts in the terminal? "For this project, I want you to communicate to me not via text in the terminal, but exclusively via interactive webpages. Say everything you wanna say on a webpage and make it interactive (e.g. if you wanna collect info from me, create a pretty form like TypeForm). Use frontend design skill to make the webpage look nice."
