Hello Hacker News. The four of us have been getting the best results with Claude Code when we iterate with it to build full context and then use and update that context as we work.

So, we built Nimbalyst to be the local WYSIWYG editor and session manager where you iterate with Claude Code on your full context: markdown docs, mockups, diagrams, and code. Nimbalyst lets you:

- Use all the power of Claude Code in a UI

- Work with Claude Code to write and edit WYSIWYG markdown, see AI changes as red/green, approve them

- Integrate mermaid diagrams, text, tables, mockups, and images in standard markdown for human/AI context

- Iterate on html mockups with Claude Code, annotating the mockups, and then use them as context for people and Claude Code coding

- Tie sessions to documents to sessions, find and resume sessions, treat sessions as context, run parallel sessions

- Code with Claude Code with all of this context, use / commands, see git status

Nimbalyst is in Beta, local, and free. We would love your feedback.

Every time I see the word Claud I immediately think of an old song. Puffy Cloud by Ween 1990.

My earworm

lyrics

  [Verse 1]
  Drift away on a puffy claud
  Go away on a puffy claud
  My brain is dead from too much pot
  'Cause Gene/Dean and I smoke too much pot (of course)

  [Chorus 1]
  Claudy, Claudy, Claudy, Claud
  Claudy, Claud, Claudy, Claud
  Claudy, Claudy, Claudy, Claud
  Claudy, Claud, Claudy, Claud

  [Verse 2]
  Float away on a cotton ball
  We write songs about the clauds
  My brain is dead from too much pot
  'Cause Gene/Dean and I smoke too much pot (oh)
ad nauseam ad nauseam
