What I Found
I tested Claude across the web app, desktop app, CLI, and Chrome extension to see where the hype is actually coming.
Claude has been showing up everywhere lately, and I wanted to get past the headlines and actually try it in a normal, real-world way. Not a polished review. Not a scripted demo. Just opening it up, installing the pieces, seeing what works, and figuring out where the hype is coming from.
The big thing with Claude right now is not just the web app or the desktop app. The part people are really talking about is Claude Code in the terminal, especially planning mode. That is where Claude can slow down, ask better questions, map out the work, and then execute with more structure.
