alt Hacker NewsThis article talks about the outputs being Claude artifacts. I am curious if anyone has feedback on using Claude artifacts? What do you like/not like?
As a hobby I run https://smalldocs.org / https://github.com/espressoplease/smalldocs an agent agnositc artifact layer, so I'm looking for feedback on artifact use in general.
Here are some sample scientific SmallDoc artifacts:
Palmer penguins: body mass, flipper length and species - https://smalldocs.org/s/YrJDCfCD8-6j_uRE0pNCbI#k=odJRxWOIySV...
AlphaFold 3: capabilities, evidence and operational limits - https://smalldocs.org/s/rRRuByQhmhZNBH_4RNCx1t#k=S0Jhyf72Q6M...
Artifacts are amazing, I think they are not getting enough attention. They recently cloned most of the Google Docs / Notion features that I was using those connectors for. Comments are very useful for steering.
The missing feature for docs is now GDrive, ie organizing and cataloging your artifacts to build a coherent long-lived KB. But for that you can still export.
Anthropic added a while back the ability to let clients provide their own API key, again I think that’s under-explored and will become more relevant as AI gets more penetration.
Building out quick SPAs, HTML pages, etc is a great use, I think the innovation will be making these things supportable and usable for more than one-shot single-user artifacts. Eg user login, analytics, etc.
