No need to apologize. I like reading HN for comments that don't beat around the bush.

It's true that it's costly. I never tried to optimize it. In a way I feel this hacky project doesn't deserve its place on the front page. It's just me hacking around on Claude Code to get something I like. Take it as a proof of concept if you will. I'd be happy to see lighter alternatives.

Here I see a gap in your reasoning. Lazy and costly, sure. But useless, I'm not so sure. In my world, a vibecoded tool can be useful enough to be shared, despite the risks. Claude Code itself is almost entirely written by Claude, according to its creator. Yet I use it every day.
