Build a Discord Bot with Claude — From Prompt to Running Bot

This is the last Quick Build in the series. We have built a CLI app, a REST API, a landing page, and a Chrome extension. Now we build something that runs 24/7 and interacts with real users: a Discord bot. Discord bots are a great test for Claude Code because they involve: An external API (Discord API) Event-driven architecture Slash command registration Permission handling Error recovery Deployment for uptime Total time: 71 minutes.

Build a Chrome Extension with Claude — Tab Manager

Chrome extensions are different from anything we have built so far. There is a specific architecture (background scripts, content scripts, popups), a manifest file that Chrome parses, and browser APIs that work differently from regular web APIs. This is a good stress test for Claude Code. Can it handle Manifest V3 correctly? Does it know the Chrome extension APIs? The project: a tab manager extension called “TabFlow” that shows all open tabs, lets you search them, close duplicates, and save sessions for later. ...

Build a Landing Page with Claude — HTML, CSS, and Deploy

We built a CLI app and a REST API with Claude Code. Both were backend projects. Now let’s see how Claude handles the visual side: a modern landing page with responsive design, animations, and dark mode. The project: build a landing page for a fictional SaaS product called “FlowBoard” — a project management tool. No React, no frameworks. Just HTML, CSS (Tailwind), and a tiny bit of vanilla JavaScript. Total time: 38 minutes from empty folder to live on Netlify. ...

Build a REST API with Claude — From Zero to Deployed in 1 Hour

Last time we built a CLI todo app in 35 minutes. That was a local app. This time, we go bigger: a REST API that runs on the web. The goal: build a bookmark manager API with CRUD operations, pagination, search, rate limiting, tests, and a Docker setup. All with Claude Code prompts. Deploy it and get a live URL. Total time: 52 minutes from empty folder to deployed API. What We’re Building A bookmark manager REST API with these features: ...

Build a CLI Todo App in 30 Minutes with Claude Code

Can you build a working CLI application in 30 minutes using only Claude Code? I tried it. Here is exactly what happened — every prompt, every mistake, and the final result. The goal was simple: start with an empty folder, talk to Claude Code in the terminal, and end up with a fully working todo app. No manual coding. Just prompts. Spoiler: it took 35 minutes, not 30. But the result was better than expected. ...
