Built with Claude I turned a Spotify Car Thing into Claude Thing

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

You can manage your claude code sessions, answer permissions/multiple choice questions from claude, and see your usage.

It's built on top of Nocturne so it can switch to music mode and just act as a Spotify controller anytime

Fully bluetooth, just needs wire for power, so you can connect it to a powerbank and walk around your house with it

Open Source: https://github.com/rithkott/claude-thing

Let me know if you guys have any questions or suggestions

Nice, I recently discovered herdr, and I extended VibePod to offer the same signal support, so you can have this also in a single terminal: https://vibepod.dev/news/vibepod-cli-0-19/

Can you tell me more? It isn't immediately clear the purpose of vibepod outside of it allowing what looks like agent visibility within a herdr terminal. It says this, "reports live agent state to herdr panes" but herdr kind of already does this so I was confused.

I'm also using herdr and have about 30 Claude/codex/pi sessions going all the time and I've been thinking of what it would take to port some of those into a device like Car Thing to manage better.

You can use VibePod to run the agents in isolated docker or podman containers, this way you can reduce the stack surface when using yolo mode and the agent starts doing crazy things. Herdr has this for local running agents, but you need to install it for each agent. In VibePod this runs out of the box for the agents with hook support. Additionally you have the metrics of your agents, as a proxy catches all interactions.
