Show HN: Claude Code in the Cloud is better than CodeX
cloudcoding.aiHi, I'm Sean!
I've just released v1 of Cloud Code which is essentially CodeX with Claude Code.
Luckily I've been building this before I knew openai was working on a similar thing so I've been able to take a Novel approach to it.
CodeX seems very agentic and a lot of control has been abstracted away so the model can work as the General Developer.
Cloud Code on the other hand gives an option for a high level of abstraction through our CodeX clone page https://cloudcoding.ai/chat but the real value comes in the form of our 'templates' which are pre-defined messages which are sent to claude code sequentially. An exmaple of this is sending a message to claude code to plan a task, then in your next message you say to do the plan.
With Claude Code, this can be 1 run rather than 2.
As this scales, we can create templates with 10+ steps and users can make domain specific templates for their specific applications.
I think that templates such as automatic linters, documentation, and test creation could be very beenficial so we'll soon be releasing either an API or Github Actions to allow people to set up triggers to activate their template with.
I'm very excited to build this and more, so welcome to the journey of an Indie Hacker going head to head with OpenAI...
