I SHIPPED A MACOS APP BUILT ENTIRELY BY CLAUDE CODE

Context is a native app for debugging MCP servers powered by Apple's SwiftUI framework. It was built almost completely by Claude Code. Of the 20,000 lines in the project, less than 1,000 lines were written by hand. This post explains how Context's developer chose their tools, what those tools are good at and bad at, and how other developers can leverage them to maximize the quality of their generated code output. IDEs of the future will focus on enabling developers to prime context for agents and set up the feedback loops that are essential to helping agents succeed with tasks.

PAY UP OR STOP SCRAPING: CLOUDFLARE PROGRAM CHARGES BOTS FOR EACH CRAWL

Cloudflare is experimenting with a new feature that allows content creators to charge a fee to stop AI crawlers from scraping their websites.

Publishers have the option to charge some bots while letting other bots scrape for free.

Leading Chinese AI companies have open-sourced their models, which could pressure rivals in the US to justify keeping their models private and the premiums they charge for their services.
