Why is this not getting people on here super excited???

It got me super excited!

Which makes me all the more disappointed that Birmingham (close to me) doesn't have a better startup ecosystem. It is an ideal place to benefit from London (little over an hour away) without the crazy prices. Anyone here based around the midlands, say hello / "alright bab"....

Oh dear, I bought claudeception.com on a whim - hope that doesn't upset anyone.

I had some ideas on what to host on there but haven't got round to it yet. If anyone here has a good use for it feel free to pitch me...

You can still make a list of all the times Claude was confidently incorrect.

The bandwidth requirements of that site would be very expensive

direwolf20 · 2026-01-27T22:19:11 1769552351

Bandwidth for text is cheap. Don't use cloud.

You could register cloudeception as well and have it tell you how much cloud bandwidth costs are daylight robbery.

ha ha - that is actually quite a good idea ;)

JKCalhoun · 2026-01-28T13:09:36 1769605776

"clau deception" might be a problem.

realty_geek · 2026-01-25T10:17:27 1769336247

How come this is suddenly popping up everywhere?

And looking through past submissions for it on HN it seems people have tried posting about it many times but it never seems to get traction...

vunderba · 2026-01-25T15:56:15 1769356575

I was thinking the same thing. It also has an absurd number of stars (not that this necessarily is a good signal for quality but still) on Github.

From a cursory glance, it looks like a metric-F### ton of external app connectors (Telegram, Discord, etc) so you can chat with a locally hosted LLM.

I have found container-use to be super useful for this.

BTW Simon, I was super happy when I heard on Theo's podcast that he will be encouraging you to monetise your work more. I'm super appreciative of your work and I'm pretty convinced that the more you profit from it, the better the universe will be!!!

skrebbel · 2026-01-11T09:36:38 1768124198

For those of us who weren’t on that podcast, can you clarify who Theo is?

realty_geek · 2026-01-12T13:53:23 1768226003

Sorry, yes it is Theo Brown:

It was in one of his videos from last week.

genghisjahn · 2026-01-11T14:45:43 1768142743

Theo Brown? T3.gg?

skrebbel · 2026-01-11T17:47:23 1768153643

No idea?

There goes the neighborhood.

Good luck with this.

AI will get you a lot of the way with this. Claude Code allowed me to bring my almost dead open source real estate website builder back to life - and it was much easier than I had expected.

Happy New Year from Nuneaton, UK!!

I wanted to try this out.

Then I saw this:

Yaaaay, glad it's back up. Though it means I'll have to delay the propertywebbuilder relaunch .... :(

realty_geek · 2025-12-14T13:39:59 1765719599

Nice - I learnt something from that!

I always wondered why rails didn't produce a competitor to WordPress. It just hasn't excelled in content management.

I have an open source real estate website builder called propertywebbuilder which I am working on reviving and even with the help of Claude code the content management part of it is proving to be the most painful.

fny · 2025-12-14T15:34:29 1765726469

There were a bunch. Radiant CMS, Refinery, Locomotive, and others.

Three problems (1) PHP is deployed all over cheap shared hosting providers (2) no one who uses a CMS cares about the backend (3) Wordpress has massive ecosystem

evolve2k · 2025-12-14T20:28:07 1765744087

My personal theory on why rails never beat out Wordpress (beyond that it has different goals), is that any attempts to make a Wordpress competitor never addressed end-user plugins.

Ruby has package management called Gems. And while these are easy and powerful for a programmer to call on; they aren’t loaded using a visual interface and be able to be dynamically loaded by the end user as is the experience with Wordpress.

To make a real Wordpress competitor; a system of user-self-installable plugins needs to also be created. Now that’s harder than just making a CMS but it’s fuctionality that makes many so called Wordpress competitors non-starters.

andrei_says_ · 2025-12-14T21:28:45 1765747725

One of the reasons is that it’s too easy to build your own CMS using Rails.
