This past Wednesday, I hosted another Claude Code Show & Tell in San Francisco. (thanks to Root.vc for the space) 45 people RSVPed and bunch of people were waitlisted but in the end 25 ppl showed up. This time around I ordered pizza (7 pies, only 4 were eaten, oops – still learning). It was cool to see a number of people who were at the last one in attendance again.
The Format
We started with going around the room asking folks what they loved about Claude Code and what questions they have about it. I like to think that this helps with kickstarting conversations after the presentations.
The Demos
Toby (@tobyshorin) showed off a playful piano‑practice app that teaches modes and scales, surfaces chords, and reads MIDI keyboard input. Toby is thinking about adding gamification and maybe even digitize the Real Book to auto‑generate practice curricula.
Dharshan (@DharshanBellan) demoed Tabbi , a cloud‑based autonomous coding agent he built in ~4 days with Claude Code + OpenCode. It spins up modal sandboxes, clones repos, fixes issues, and opens PRs, with Cloudflare Durable Objects coordinating sessions.
Mihir (@nap_borntoparty) demoed a thoughtful meta‑workflow app that reviews Claude Code session history and tool calls to suggest skills, MCPs, and workflow improvements—aimed at reducing repeated actions and tightening intent tracking.
Gabe (@gabrielste1n) demoed OpenWhispr, an open‑source wisprflow clone built with Claude Code. It’s a cross‑platform Electron app using local Whisper. Gabe also showed how he duplicates his project folders and spins multiple VS Code instances to keep parallel workstreams moving.
Josh (@ojoshe) closed it out with his second time presenting, this time with his new project called TBD — a smoother, more human issue‑tracker alternative to Beads, with a spec‑driven workflow that auto‑breaks specs into issues and avoids Beads’ sync/DB complexity while keeping CLI‑friendly task management.
You Should Host a Show & Tell
A few people saw my posts on X and wanted to host their own. @BTheriot2014 asked how to organize a meetup like this, and @jaesmail said he might run one in Chicago.
My thinking: keep it simple. Tweet about it, invite a few friends, and get a small room together. Things are moving so quickly that local, lightweight meetups let people share what they’re building without waiting for a big event. It’s really cool to see how and what people are building and I learn something new every time.
Next Event: TBD
I’d love to host multiple times a month, since things are moving so quickly, but I’m still sorting dates. If you want to sign up for the next one, please do: https://tally.so/r/zx7K50
Also, pif you want to demo something, reach out. Designers, PMs, founders, engineers — all welcome.
Hope to see you there.
