This post took forever to write (maybe 6 hours) because I used Claude to critique my writing and it is a very thorough judge. I hope you guys enjoy it!

If you're gonna use Claude for writing in some capacity, this is definitely the way to do it. Thanks for not letting it write for you.

Yes but the process was so painful (it was very hard to tell what sections it referred to and to talk about each piece of feedback) that I created a tool just to help with presenting the feedback better:

I made that because of this post. Here's the precursor:

Compiling standard Java is great, that's pretty interesting but I wonder how you could use the app's class in your own classes since those are not in the classpath at compile time.. I would love to mod Android apps but I'm not sure where to properly start. For now Xposed modules does the job but I'd love to be able to patch my apps to run on non modded devices

I think Revanced has/is a framework around modding as well, but yeah, that's the extent of my knowledge. I'd obviously ask Claude :P

Yeah, there's Morphe nowadays which is a fork or Revanced. Never got the time to play around with it but I guess that will be one of my next weekend project

Neat. I feel like my Orange Juice extension did that with HN.
