Working on Claude, people often ask about my workflow. You might be surprised that I'm not using classic Claude Code anymore, opening a terminal, or even running code on my Mac. No GitHub or PRs. I've never felt more creative: felixrieseberg.com/made-by-mech...

Made by mechanical means
How I'm using Claude in fall 2026: Blender, CGI, and music composition, without running code on my computer or opening a single Claude Code thread myself.

I remade my homepage with Opus 5.5 and pushed it hard, using billions of tokens to see how far we can go. We made music & movies, drew textures, modeled things in Blender: felixrieseberg.com I'm really happy with the result!

Today, we're combining Cowork and Chat into one Claude. You can fire off questions and then turn to serious work in the same conversation. When your computer is open, Claude can use your local files and apps - and if you close it, Claude will keep working with its own computer in the cloud.

I made a thing and brought back Clippy - combining my nostalgia for 1990s UI with the ability to run local LLMs. Download it at felixrieseberg.github.io/clippy/

There's a new release of windows95! Some highlights: You can now browse the Internet on IE 5.5, browse your host computer's files (and install more games and apps!), try out more preinstalled apps (like Office 95 or Space Pinball) and escape to '95. Download it at github.com/felixriesebe...

4) Bundle size does not matter to users. One hour of 4k Netflix ~7 GB, a typical Call of Duty update regularly clocks in more than 300 GB. I have not seen end users care about binary size in the 100s of MB more than they do about virtually anything else your engineering team could spend time on.

3) Electron doesn't bundle Chromium because it somehow missed that operating systems come with built-in WebViews. It bundles Chromium because it's today's best stack for rendering web apps in a reliable, performant, secure, and stable way.

2) Web tech is *amazing* at displaying data and UI. The Bloomberg Terminal, a system found at every financial institution, is written with JS/HTML and Chromium. It costs $25,000 per user, per year. The SpaceX’s Dragon 2 space capsule uses Chromium to display its interface.

1) Electron doesn't pit JavaScript against native code. Its superpower is that you can mix and match between native and web technologies. To show code, I've built examples using SwiftUI, GTK, Win32 Common Controls in Swift, ObjC, ObjC++, and C++: github.com/felixriesebe...

As an open source project, Electron never had to pitch. It's not like we'd make money off "another sale". I never took the time to write up the arguments for Electron. Why use web tech? Why bundle Chromium? Why Electron? The answer is now available at www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/....

You might be wrong about @electronjs.org Wherever I see a discussion about Electron, I also see people getting tons of things wrong. People on the Internet being wrong isn't new, but I've written a bunch of text and code to clear up misconceptions.
