alt Hacker NewsThe Claude Code TUI app is pretty solid. I use it heavily and I get great results from it. But with the mobile app, Claude Code remote is basically unusable (weird disconnect bugs) and Claude Code cloud has issues as well (UI hides approval confirmations; must reconnect to see them). So yeah, I imagine what you're saying is true. There are at least some major gaps in their QA process. It's ironically a pretty convincing case to keep humans in the loop. It's honestly shocking to me that those features were actually shipped in their current state. You run into the problems immediately.

I agree with you about the Claude Code TUI. I switched to it weeks after it was released. The browser interface is great for quick chats and talking through ideas/concepts, but not for coding. What I love about the TUI is that it can see all your repos as once so it has the full picture all the time. You can't get that with the web version.
I have a very different experience. Claude code tui is the worst tui I have ever used. How is it possible that an inactive tui regularly eats 8gb of ram, has freezing issues and rendering issues?
If I wasn’t forced to use it I wouldn’t as there are better options available.
