- huh, my current ranking is:
1. claude code CLI, generally works, great tool use
2. codex on the web, feels REALLY smart, but can’t use tools
3. codex CLI, still smarter than claude but less situational awareness
4. codex via iphone app, buggier than the web app
5. claude code on the web, worst of all worlds
by jes5199 - I built a version of this which wraps multiple CLI sessions locally. I do think the Web aspect and being able to access your CC session from anywhere is cool.by asdev
- We've got a product in beta right now that lets's you spin up a review app by just commenting "deploy" on a PR in GitHub. When you combine that with Claude Code on the web, it is pretty fun. You can be anywhere (on a boat, train, lying on the couch, in a stadium watching 18 innings of baseball) and using Claude Code on the web on any mobile phone (in a browser.) As it builds stuff, it's instantly deploying a review app for each update and so you can see the changes and then give it another request. Also makes it easy to just drop that review app into a groupchat to get feedback from other people who are also not at their computers. I don't have a link to a video yet but I posted a few screenshots here. If you want to try the review app functionality, just send me a message. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/jonessteven_anthropic-claude-...
- For those who are going to compare to Codex, make sure you understand what model you are working with:

The "Codex" model requires different promoting for the best results. You may also find, depending on your task, that the standard non-codex model works better.
by rsyring - The whole flow of:
creating container -> cloning repo -> making change -> test -> send PR
is too slow of a loop for me to do anything much useful. It's only good for trivial "one-shot" stuff.
by asadm - I don't get this version of Claude Code. What changed my mind about AI coding was the fact that Claude Code was so good at using tools. If it changed some code, it ran tests, debug failures, etc. Having Claude Code on the web, without having access to a custom environment with the right tools available, just doesn't make sense to me. Claude Code on GitHub Actions is a much more usable variant for me. It allows for custom setup, but then it's not interactive like this one is. I really wish there was some middle ground.
- I like the workflow with Codex more. Though I like working with Claude more. So I wish Anthropic would copy the Codex workflow.
I like that Codex commits using your identity as if it was your changes. And I like that you can interact with it directly from the PR as if it was a team member.
by _ink_ - I used Claude Code a lot until this weekend, when I gave Codex CLI a try, and I have to say, wow. The gpt-5-codex model is amazing. Sonnet 4.5 routinely gets stuff wrong, even Opus 4.1 isn't too amazing, but GPT 5 Codex just one-shots everything.
I've been using Sonnet whenever I run into the Codex limit, and the difference is stark. Twice yesterday I had to get Codex to fix something Sonnet just got entirely wrong.
I registered a domain a year ago (pine.town) and it came up for renewal, so I figured that, instead of deleting it, I'd build something on it, and came up with the idea of an infinite collaborative pixel canvas with a "cozy town" vibe. I have ZERO experience with frontend, yet Codex just built me the entire damn thing over two days of coding:
It's the first model I can work with and be reasonably assured that the code won't go off the rails. I keep adding and adding code, and it hasn't become a mess of spaghetti yet. That having been said, I did catch Codex writing some backend code that could have been a few lines simpler, so I'm sure it's not as good as me at the stuff I know.
Then again, I wouldn't even have started this without Codex, so here we are.
