My Kindle, which had been gathering dust for years, was unexpectedly revived by Claude Code.
Now it serves as my desk-side Claude workstation — displaying real-time token consumption, context usage, and today’s spending.
Not an e-book reader anymore. It’s an AI status panel.
The e-ink display is gentler on the eyes than any monitor. https://t.co/9eO82bIyhE

@NFTCPS: Attention bookworms! Those tech books gathering dust on your shelf finally have a purpose. A new open-source tool called book-to-skill just blew up on GitHub, racking up over 2700 Stars. Its approach is wild: just drop in a PDF or EPUB, it automatically extracts the table of contents, core concepts, and patterns, and generates a skill with one click. Later, just type "/书名技能" plus your topic, and it will flip through the book for you.
The open-source tool book-to-skill on GitHub converts PDF/EPUB tech books into Claude Code skills, generating a table of contents, core concepts, and patterns with one click, turning dusty books into a personal on-demand consultant.
@VincentLogic: Found an incredible open-source desktop AI tool from ByteDance! UI-TARS Desktop, with 31k stars, truly lives up to the hype. It can actually understand your screen and automate computer operations for you. Just tell it "Enable auto-save in VS Code and set the delay to 500ms", and it will automatically: -…

@jakevin7: Here's a hot take: TUI will gradually decline or even become obsolete. I haven't used Claude Code in a long time. I almost exclusively use Slock. For ad-hoc tasks, I now use Codex Desktop more, occasionally Claude Desktop. It makes me rethink TUI…
This article discusses the trend of TUI (Terminal User Interface) gradually declining in AI programming tools. The author argues that as model capabilities improve, TUI will be replaced by CLI+server architectures or Web UI, and shares personal experience switching from Claude Code to Slock, Codex Desktop, and other tools.
@axichuhai: Found an open-source tool that makes Claude even better — just a 65-line Markdown file, already reached 130k+ stars on GitHub. Inspired by Karpathy's observation that models like to guess when uncertain, write overly complex code, and quietly change things they shouldn't touch...
An open-source 65-line Markdown file that summarizes 4 programming rules for Claude to improve code quality and save tokens. It has garnered 130k+ stars on GitHub, inspired by Karpathy.
@jianshuo: Only when you can see it can you talk about understanding. I wrote ccglass; install it via npm and you can see what Claude Code is secretly sending to the large model—system prompts, 48 tools, token accounts—all laid out.
ccglass is a zero-dependency local logging reverse proxy and web dashboard that lets you see in real-time the system prompts, tools, and token usage sent by coding agents like Claude Code to the large model.
