Some interesting history about the Haiku project, from 2008.
A while back I posted about building EmailViews, my native email client for the Haiku operating system, with no prior coding experience. That post was mostly about what I built. This one is about how I’ve been working, because the more interesting story, at least to me, is how much my workflow has changed since then as I learn more about the code base and how Claude works best.
I am a long time BeOS/Haiku user. Last year, I stumbled across a post from someone using Claude to develop a native Haiku app. I’d been using Claude’s web interface for some light Drupal work, but the idea of building a real C++ desktop application with it? That sounded wild. So I opened a Claude conversation and started exploring.
