Can’t Stop Won’t Stop

Yup, it’s another post about Claude (and I don’t think it’ll be my last).

Yesterday I had a need to share an extensive discussion I had in the Claude desktop app with a person who isn’t (yet) an AI user. I didn’t want to share the conversation with a public link (even if an obscure one). So I built a tool that takes a Claude export archive and turns it into a navigable website. From there I simply printed the relevant conversation to PDF and sent that via email. Easy peasy.

And by “I built” I obviously mean I asked Claude Code to do it. Took less than an hour of wall clock time, only about 10 minutes of it requiring my active attention. The result is now on GitHub for your enjoyment. Amount of code I hand-wrote: zero. That includes the documentation.

There were other solutions out there, but I thought it’d take no more time just to build a tool to my exact specifications. And I was right. That was a revelation. The times they are a changin’, fellow software nerds. What I first mentioned as a far off possibility back in 2017 seems now a reality.
