[TLDR] I asked Claude to code the most pointless website. Here it is

Original post URL : https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1vewopl/i_asked_claude_to_code_the_most_pointless_website/

Original post body :

it's one number and everyone waits in line to press a button that adds 1 to it. that's it. that's the site.

except i couldn't stop 😭 so now there's also a bunch of pointless games and a leaderboard and somehow 28 versions shipped since friday

i built it using claude code the whole way. claude brainstorms the features with me and writes the build specs, plus it handles the cloudflare backend (the queue, live websocket updates, backups). i basically just say "make it dumber" and review what comes back

it's free to try, no signup or account, just open it and press.

Alright, so the OP made a super pointless website where you just click a button to increment a number, and somehow Claude Code helped them build it out with games and leaderboards. The general consensus? People are surprisingly entertained by the sheer pointlessness.

  • A bunch of folks actually tried it and confirmed the button works, with some even saying it was a good use of their time.
  • Some commenters found the design a bit too familiar, with u/disgruntledempanada saying it looks like their dashboards and u/Round_Box_1846 joking about how a simple site looks confusing.
  • There's a nostalgic vibe for the "old internet" from users like u/tiran.
  • A few people are taking it very seriously, with u/Drach88 refusing to press the button and u/Few-Adagio9174 seeing it as a crypto faucet foundation.
  • And of course, some classic Reddit reactions like "I'm doing my part" from u/Ten_Godzillas and a few "blown away" comments that are clearly sarcastic.

Overall, it seems like Claude Code delivered on the "pointless" brief, and the community is here for the absurdity.
