https://reddit.com/link/1rbeskg/video/6zaqmtu0szkg1/player I’ve been building a desktop app called Normies that gives Claude Code (I also added support for Codex because Anthropic has been weird about using your subscription token…) a structured workflow. It’s free, uses your own Codex/ChatGPT or Claude subscription — I don’t collect emails or any of that. You can download it here ; available on both Mac and Windows. Codex and Claude Code are dev tools — they’re great at what they do. Unfortunately I’m not a developer, and one problem I kept running into: I don’t know when to stop talking to it and start a new session. Since most of the time I don’t understand half of the shit Claude tells me anyway, so I just kept pasting errors in and telling it to “fix it”; 2 hours we both lost track of what we were doing. So I built a layer that handles all of that: Before you build anything, it interviews you about what you’re trying to solve. Sometimes it tells you not to build anything — it’ll look up existing tools, check current pricing, and point out if there’s a $10/month solution that already does what you want. If you do need to build, it writes a full spec — architecture, dependencies, the whole plan — and breaks it into independent tasks with time estimates. Each task is its own session. Instead of one long conversation that degrades as context fills up, each task launches a fresh Codex/Claude Code session pre-loaded with exactly the context it needs. You see a plain English description. The agent gets a detailed technical spec with implementation instructions. You just click start on each step. It also generates a plain English maintenance guide at the end so you actually understand what was built. Curious what people think — especially anyone who’s tried to get a non-technical friend or coworker to use Claude Code and watched them bounce off it. Built on top of Craft Agents — I forked it and redesigned the workflow around non-technical users. They somehow made an electron app feels like a native one, and I haven’t been able to fuck it up, so huge shot out to them submitted by /u/NeatNefariousness674
