I don't like claude code web due to its lack of planning mode. I found the result is often lackluster compare to claude code cli.

My current setup: Tailscale + Terminus(ipad) + home machine(code base)

Need to look into how to work on multiple features at the same time next.


I've been using git worktrees with Claude and it's pretty awesome:

Pair worktrees with the ralph-wiggum plugin and I can have Claude work for hours without needing any input:

Worktrees took way too much setup and hand-holding for me, but https://conductor.build made it easy!


I delayed adopting conductor because I had my own worktree + pr wrappers around cc but I tried it over the holidays and wow. The combination of claude + codex + conductor + cc on the web and claude in github can be so insanely productive.

I spend most of my time updating the memory files and reviewing code and just letting a ton of tasks run in parallel


software is all about wrappers, isn't it? :)

conductor -> multiple claude codes/codexes -> multiple agents -> multiple tools/skills/sub-agents -> LLMs


Sadly only allows sign up with Github.


I haven't missed planning mode myself. I tend to tell it "write a detailed plan first in a file called spec.md for me to review", then use that as the ongoing plan.

I like that it ends up in the repo as it means it survives compaction or lets me start a fresh session entirely.


I was doing the same, but recently I noticed that Claude now writes its plans to a markdown file somewhere nested in the ~/.claude/plans directory. It will carry a reference to it through compaction. Basically mimicking my own workflow!

This can be customized via a shell env variable that I cannot remember ATM.

The downside (upside?) is that the plan will not end up in your repo. Which sometimes I want. I love the native plan mode though.


This is one of the small things that shows me Anthropic is dogfooding their own system.

Which Codex and Gemini-cli teams aren't doing.


Plans in plan mode also survive compaction


I've been really impressed with https://github.com/BloopAI/vibe-kanban to do this. Really really impressed.


The lack of Plan Mode is puzzling, I'm sure they must get to it at some point. But until then it CAN still plan, you just have to ask it to write a plan and not write code yet.


Can you not use PAL MCP for this? Have one top agent as controller etc? It's not ideal but it feels like the space of multi agent stuff is evolving ... I notice that there are a lot of posts on hn about these things so we are trying to do the same thing really.


Not sure if this works in claude code web, but running non-interactive claude code I can still get it to use plan mode by simply asking it. It's just a tool call.


I wouldn't trust Zoho. More than 10 years ago, they shadowbanned (can not be shared or publicly viewed) my documents because it criticized Chinese communist party.


I'm building a information hub that utilize AI agents to compile all the relevant information from China (gov, econ, commerce, anything and everything). I call it "information domination". Heard many times that language barrier stops people having a better understanding of China. Now the LLM translation is good enough, and AI agents can do way more in information gathering stage. It's time to put things in practice.

For now, it only has a daily newsletter fully compiled by AI agents without any human intervention. I plan to add public listed companies (semiconductor, energy provider, etc) onto the platform. Already found lots of good data points that can be used by analysts, researchers or observers.


Q: Has anyone used claude working with DaisyUI? Don't like claude's default ui choices.

Do you have a benchmark for comparing different chunking methods? Your existing benchmark is to compare different libraries.


We don't yet, but our library comes with a visualization tool that you can use to compare chunkers directly. https://docs.chonkie.ai/python-sdk/utils/visualizer


Recently tested a (non-english) pdf ocr with Gemini 2.5 Pro. First, directly ask it to extract text from pdf. Result: random text blob, not useable.

Second, I converted pdf into pages of jpg. Gemini performed exceptional. Near perfect text extraction with intact format in markdown.

Maybe there's internal difference when processing pdf vs jpg inside the model.


Model isn’t rendering the PDF probably, just looking in the file for text.


What method/model are you using for sparse search?


We're going to use BM25. Currently it is just dense search. Coming very soon


have you thought about SPALDE models? ex: https://arxiv.org/abs/2109.10086


Looks really interesting, I'll have a proper read. What would be your reasoning to incorporate this if we already have vector functionality and semantic search?


my project deals w/ non-english text, bm25 performance is middeling. Language specific sparse model helps.


We will definitely look into it. The SPLADE models look promising!

Japan Top 100 (restaurants) app

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/japan-top-100/id6741251616

Only public on iOS store for now, due to Google requires larger # of testers to authenticate the app.

This app idea came from my last Japan trip. I had a hard time finding good local restaurants (not tourist traps). So I decided to build this app with Japanese-oriented lists, due to lists' lacked of maps, etc. The app actually helped me discover some great spots, since it lists places all over Japan. Please give it a try and let me know if you have any feature requests or ideas.


Unfortunately I don't have an iPhone to try when we go to Japan but I will ask my friend to try it out. We will travel to Japan later this year.


Will let you know once android version is public


Can you please elaborate on the Chinese advantage?


The network is massive and the average and top speeds are very fast.

China has more high speed rail than the rest of the world combined.


China's land area is approximately 25 times of Japan, def has a bigger network. But the top speed is comparable in current generations[1] except the Maglev.

1. https://www.railway-technology.com/features/the-10-fastest-h...


Comparable and essentially identical for sure, but 30 km/hr slower is slower.


Compared to their size, Spain and Japan have a largest high speed network than China.

And tickets, specially in Spain, are very cheap.


I would think that the vast amount of central/Western land in China that is sparsely populated might skew this statistic quite a bit, where Spain and Japan don't have that at the same scale.
