you're using Claude Code for web wrong.
If you use it the right way, your entire
Claude Code workflow will 10X. In this
video, I'm going to show you a Claude
Code for web workflow that will have you
building AI apps so much faster. Whether
you're a Claude Code noob or stone cold
expert, you are going to learn so much
from this video. Everyone using Claude
Code just got free credits, so you might
as well take advantage and watch this
entire video. Let's get into it. So,
there's going to be two parts to this
video. Part one will be me setting up
Claude Code for web. So building a very
quick app in Claude Code, connecting it
to Claude Code for web and show you how
that's done. Part two will be me getting
way more advanced, showing you the
master workflow of Claude Code for web,
pulling down the code to your local
environment so you can test it and ship
it. So if you already have Claude Code
for web set up, feel free to skip to the
next chapter at the chapters below.
Otherwise, feel free to stick around
with me here as I build a new app and
connect it to Claude Code for web. So,
we're going to build a quick demo app
here in Claude Code just in Visual
Studio Code. Then, we're going to take
that app and I'll show you how to
connect it to Claude Code for web. So,
my preferred way of using Claude Code is
the extension inside Visual Studio Code.
Super easy to use, great UI, and Visual
Studio Code is really, really
dependable. So, get that all set up if
you haven't yet. Open up a new project
and we'll get this started. So, the demo
app we're going to set up for this is
going to be a journaling app. I'm going
to show you how to build this really
basic journaling app. But then we're
going to add a ton of features and
functionality by using Claude Code for
Web, which is going to be awesome. And
real quick, if this is your first time
hearing of Claude Code for web, this is
their cloud-based version of Claude
Code, where from any browser or device
in the world, you can spin up tasks for
Claude Code. Even if you're not your
computer, whether it's the web, whether
it's a browser, whether it's the iOS
app, you can now spin up tasks from
anywhere in the entire world, which is
incredible. but it has some really
advanced functionality. So, we're going
to build out a basic journaling app.
Then, I'm going to show you how to use
Claude Code for web, the workflow for
it, where I build out really advanced
things for it. But, we're going to keep
it simple at first here. Here's the
prompt, and I'll put it down below. Feel
free to take it and steal it. I want to
build a journaling app. It should be a
beautiful, clean, simple app where the
centerpiece is a markdown editor. On the
left hand side, it shows all your save
journal entries. Use Nex.js, TypeScript,
Tailwind, V3, and local storage for this
app. If you're not as technical, these
are very popular technologies that we're
going to be using to build this app out.
And I'm going to hit enter on that. And
now Claude Code is going to start
building out that basic demo app, which
for the record, you can take this, build
it out, use it for your own life after
this. So you have a real working app for
yourself. And I'm going to say yes and
don't ask again. And this is going to
build out the app that we're going to
connect to Claude for web so I can show
you all these advanced workflows and
functionality in it. So, at this point,
I always just say yes and continue
without asking me because Claude Code's
amazing. You don't need to approve every
single step here. So, that's cooking now
and that will be done in a second. We'll
check out the app, then we'll get into
Claude for web. Man, if you haven't
started using Claude Code for web yet,
you are missing out. My productivity has
been insane since I started taking
advantage of this. We're also going to
go over the iOS app, which is really
awesome, too. All right, looks like it's
all done. Beautiful clean UI with
sidebar and editor layout. I'm praying
there is no blue and purple gradients.
Markdown editor with live preview. All
right, let's check it out. Let's just go
straight into it. So, I'm going to hit
control tillday to bring up my terminal.
I am going to cd into the journal app
folder which they just created. So, cdj
and I'm going to tab which will
autocomplete and then I'm going to do
npm rundev which will run the
development server. I hit enter. Boom.
We're good to go. Localhost 3001. Let's
click on that. All right, it looks like
it is done. Let's pull it open. And
boom. Look at that. It is all set. We
have our basic journaling app here.
Let's do a new entry. We get this nice
editor. Hey, wait, shout out a second.
No blue and purple gradients. I think
this is the first time in history an AI
tool has designed a UI with zero purple
and blue gradients. Shout out AI. You
did it. We've now this potentially could
be an indicator of AGI. I wouldn't count
that out. Let's just test this out.
Let's see how this looks. Let's do a
bold new journal entry. This is my new
journal. Let's hit save. All right.
Well, it didn't do the bold, but that's
fine. It still has the editor here. And
let's go to preview. Let's see that. Oh,
boom. It has the bold. Okay. So, this is
a nice markdown journal tool. But now,
let's connect this to Claude Code for
web. So, we can do a lot more of the
advanced stuff. So in order to use
claude code for web you need to have
your code hosted on GitHub which is a
code repository. So if you haven't yet
sign up for GitHub go to github.com
create a free account. Then we can do
new repository. We're going to call this
a journaling app. You can make it public
or private. I'm going to make this one
public. And then I'm going to create the
repository. Once you click create, you
just take the address right here. I'm
going to hit copy on that. I'm going to
go back into claw code. And then what
I'm going to do is I'm going to say, can
you upload this code to and then put in
the address for our repo and hit enter.
And now Claude Code, like the good
employee it is, is going to take our
code and put it on that new repository.
I'm just going to yes. And don't ask me
again. Just get to work Claude Code. And
we are going to be one step away from
using Claude for web. I know you're
getting excited. I know you want to use
up those free credits, baby. Let's get
into this. Cook it up. Here we go. Done.
Uploaded. Let's verify claude codes
work. That was super simple and easy.
Come over here. Refresh. Boom. There's
our code. It is inside GitHub. I love
that. Now we are ready. Now we are ready
for claw code. You ready for the fun
part? Let's start having some fun. Let's
do Let's do some more advanced things
here. I guarantee what I'm about to show
you your competition isn't doing. So if
you do these things, if you stick with
me and do all these steps, you're going
to be ahead of 99% of people. I
guarantee it. Here we go. So to access
Claude for web, super simple. Go to
claude.ai. You'll see code right here.
You click that puppy and here you go.
You're in claw for web. The other way to
access this is on iOS. So if you have
the clawed iOS app, watch this. If you
go into the app, you hit the three lines
up there and then you click on code, you
get into this really nice clawed code
for web mobile app experience, which is
excellent. So, anything you do on the
web browser version, it's the same thing
you're going to be doing on the mobile
app. Completely crossplatform. It's all
the same. I'll do some things in this
workflow on both just so you can see how
fun it is. Uh, but let's do this. The
first thing we need to do is connect to
our journaling environment we just
created. To do that, we click right
here. If this is your first time doing
this, you'll probably just have to sign
in with GitHub real quick in Cloud Code
for web, which will be super simple.
Once you do that, you just search for
the new app you created in GitHub. You
click it and you are connected and good
to go. And we can start melting these
free credits I just gave to everybody
here. So starting from a high level, the
way I like to think about Claude Code
for web is this is my helper. This is
like my junior developer. This is like
the partner to the main claude code
that's inside Visual Studio. I use the
cloud code in Visual Studio to build out
the big features, the big functionality,
and at the same time, I'm multitasking
by sending off my junior developers and
some other roles I'll show you in a
second inside Claude Code for Web. So,
let's do some multitasking. Here are the
tasks I like to have running in Claude
Code for Web at all times. I like to
have four features being built out, two
research tasks, one code optimization
task, and one security check at all
times inside a cloud code for web. If I
don't have these eight tasks going at
all times, I feel like I'm not getting
maximum productivity. So, write this
down and I'm going to show you how to
set this up. If you keep it in the back
of your mind, oh, I need to have Claude
for web working at all times on these
tasks, your app's going to advance so
much faster than you can imagine. Let's
set up four small feature tasks for
claude for web to work on here. The way
I like to think about it is this. This
is the key to building out small
features in cloud code for web. One, you
do so here are a few tips for building
out features with cloud code for web.
One is your features should not be
overlapping, right? So these agents are
going to be working separately from each
other. So you don't want the features to
be overlapping or you'll have
conflicting code. Right? So the features
I'm about to show you are going to be
very disperate features. Desperate up
your vocabulary. Keep the features
small. So I like to keep these small
because if they get too big again you
can have conflicts. The scope can get
out of control. So we keep the big
features with clawed code in the Visual
Studio and we keep the features on cloud
code for web smaller. And then here are
the tasks I always like having again. So
you can write that down or screenshot
this if you want. So, let's start
building out those four features, shall
we? Uh, so we're in the journaling app
selected. Let's build out a folder
system. I want to be able to put my
journal entries into folders. Build a
folder system. Here's another thing. You
can choose your model, Sonnet 45 or
Haiku. For these smaller features, a lot
of the times you can just go with Haiku
4.5. So, for this just building a folder
system, let's go with Haiku45 and save a
couple of tokens and get the most out of
these juicy thousand dollars worth of
credits. Thank you very much, Anthropic,
for that. So, that task is spinning up.
That is going. Let's keep going here. I
want to be able to color code my journal
entries. Haiku 45 sounds appropriate for
that. Let's keep going. I want to give
titles to my journal entries. Haiku 45.
That's a simple task. Let's keep it on
45. Save that moola, that money so we
can use it for later. Let's add share on
social media buttons. In today's day and
age, everyone's sharing everything. So,
why might as well share our journal
entries on social media, too, right? So,
let's send that one to Claude Haiku 4.5
as well, shall we? And boom. There we
go. We have our four sessions going,
four features cooking. That takes care
of the first group of tasks I like to do
with Claude for web. Let's move on to
the second one. Two research tasks. But
what does that mean, research tasks?
Well, here's the thing. It's called
Claude code. But the reality is these
are just AI agents that Anthropic built.
So, you don't have to use these just for
coding. You can use these for any tasks
you want AI to do. So, I like to do
research tasks. What are research tasks?
Well, these are basically employees in
other areas of our personal oneperson
company, right? Other than coding. So
maybe we want to build out a road map.
So we may have a product manager build a
road map for us. And then maybe we want
to do another thing. Maybe we want to
have a marketing manager. So we have a
marketing manager build out a blog post
for us. I think that's a pretty good
idea, too. So, let's have our two
researchers, our product manager and our
marketing manager get to work and start
building us out some cool functionality.
So, I'm going to go in here as our
agents are working. It looks like the
agent already finished the titles for
journal entries. That's awesome. But
let's go do this. Let's start our
product manager. You are a product
manager. Please build out a road map for
our app with a list of new features.
Bada bing. Bada boom. For these research
tasks, for these more in-depth build a
road map, write some marketing for us. I
actually like to use sonnet 45. I think
haiku is really good for executing
simple coding tasks for more in-depth
writing research reports. I like to use
sonnet 45. So I'm going to hit boom.
Bang. Send on that. Now we have a
product manager working for us building
us out of robot. Look at all our
employees. People have such a bad
impression of AI. They think it's
replacing humans. No, no, no, no, no.
It's not replacing humans. It is
superpowering humans. Look at me right
now. I am a oneperson business with five
employees working for me. Before AI, I
would never be able to do this. Now I
have the power of a sixperson company,
including myself, which is amazing. But
let's make this a sevenperson company,
shall we? Let's add our seventh
employee. you are a marketing manager
who is in charge of building our
marketing out for this app. Please write
me a set of tweets for this app. Going
to use sonnet 45 so we get a little bit
better creativity, more in-depth tweets.
I'm going to hit send. Boom. There's our
seventh employee. I don't think I'm done
yet. I think I want to hire two junior
developers to work for us now too. Let's
make this a 9erson company. Again, AI
not replacing people. Instead, it's
supercharging people. These are the
types of things, by the way, that put
you ahead of your competition. Right?
Your competition right now is sitting
there. They're putting a prompt in
Claude Code. They're going they're
scrolling Tik Tok. They're going and
they're scrolling Instagram. They're
looking at thirst traps for 10 hours a
day. Not you. You are building in Claw
Code. then you are spinning up seven to
eight new employees in claude code for
web. This is how you do it. This is how
you win. Cuz don't get me wrong, this is
a competition. And if you're watching
these videos, if you're in the fin fam,
if you hit like, subscribe, and turn on
notifications right now, you are ahead
of everyone else and you're winning this
competition. So, let's spin up another
junior developer. As we talked about
before on our checklist here, we had the
four features going with the two
research tasks going. Now, let's
optimize the code. So, I'm going to go
in and I'm going to say, "Please take a
look." And as you can see here over on
the right, already got tweets cooking.
I'm not even done spin up task. We got
tweets cooking. Please take a look at
our codebase and make recommendations
for code optimizations. This is how you
keep your code tight, speedy, and
efficient is we want to constantly be
optimizing. I spin up agents just to
take, hey, take a look. Let me know
where we can optimize the code. I'm
going to use Sonnet 45 for this one.
Let's hit send. We got another employee
cooking. We already got multiple of our
employees done here. So, our
optimization employee got hired. You
passed the interview. Congratulations.
Now you're working for me. You're in the
Alex Finn enterprise or if you're
watching this video, your personal
enterprise. And then last one here,
let's take a look at the checklist
security task. So, we are going to spin
up another agent. You are a security
professional. Please review the code and
find any security vulnerabilities.
Security is super important right now
when it comes to vibe coding. A lot of
people building apps, they don't know
how to do anything with security. They
put vulnerabilities, they get hacked.
You want to make sure you constantly
have an AI going reviewing your code. I
am not a security expert, but I have an
app out there, Creator Buddy, that's
being used by thousands of people, and I
have had zero security incidents. And
the reason that is is because I have AI
agents going reviewing security at all
times in cloud code for web. So let's do
that. I'm going to use sonnet 45 for
that because security is really
important. And I'm going to hit send.
And boom, our security employees going.
So looks like a lot of our feature tasks
were done. Let me show you how to now
pull down the code and integrate it into
your codebase. So let's do this. Let's
integrate the title functionality into
our app so we can start adding titles to
our journal entries. Here's what you
want to do. The absolute easiest way to
do this if you are not a GitHub master
is you just click open in CLI. What that
does when you click it is it copies a
command to your clipboard. And what this
command is going to do is pull down this
code. Basically what's happening is each
one of these agents spins up their own
sandbox where they are writing this code
inside of GitHub. So, what you're going
to want to do is open up your terminal
here, paste in that command, and then
hit enter. And what's going to happen is
it is going to pull in that code from
that claw for web session. I'm going to
hit yes, I trust that folder. And boom,
there it is. It pulled down the new
code. Just make sure you are inside in
the terminal, the app folder that was
created, and then it will pull it in.
So, this works just if you do it the way
I showed you, this works just for the
CLI. So, it's going to open up a CLI
section right here, but you're good to
go to interact with Cloud Code this way
as well. Let's test this out. Let's see
if this worked here. So, I'm going to
pull open the browser where we had the
app running before. And boom, untitled.
Let's see if we can title this my first
journal entry. Boom. That works. This is
an entry.
And I hit save. And there it is. The
title saved. So, the code worked. Boom.
Brilliant. Now what we can do is now
that we tested the code we can say code
worked great can we commit to main and
then I'm going to hit enter. So now that
we tested the code and we made sure it
worked that was pulled down from claude
for web. We're going to say I pulled
down new code from claude for web.
Please commit it to main. And I'm going
to hit enter. It's going to look for the
new code which it found. it is going to
go to main and it is going to commit
that new code for us to the main branch.
If you're newer to GitHub, basically the
way it works is it's like a tree. You
have different branches. Your main
branch is obviously your main branch and
you're taking this code from all the
other sandboxes and environments that
claude code for web and it is smooshing
it into the main which is basically your
main working branch. So that's how you
pull down the code, review it and push
it to your main branch. Now, all you'd
want to do is go in here and do the
exact same thing for the other feature.
So, you'd go into whatever feature it
is. Maybe we want to add the social
media share buttons. You would click
open in CLI. You would take that
command, go into your terminal in Visual
Studio Code, enter it. It pulls down the
code. You review. You push. Wait, that
is not all though. Let's show you how to
take advantage of the product manager
and the marketing manager feature. So,
we have our product manager. We go into
our build app feature road map. They
built us out a road map here. Let's
check it out. Let's see what it built
for us. Search and discovery features. I
like that. Tags and organization editor
and enhancements. Dark mode. I like
that. So, let's This is how you should
think about it. This is the workflow. As
your road map is built out, we read our
road map. And as we do it, let's take
some of this and give it to Claude for
web to do. I'm going to even take this a
step further and I'm going to do it on
mobile just to show you what that looks
like. So, we're on the mobile app. I'm
just copying the iOS screen to my Mac.
And we're going to say, let's take a
look at our product manager
recommendations here. Dark mode. We need
a dark mode. People like writing in dark
mode. Please add a dark mode to the app.
And I'm going to hit send on the mobile
app. And now it is going to start work
for us building out that dark mode. As
you can see here, it already added here.
It is completely crossplatform. So, the
way I like to think about the mobile app
is this allows you to ideulate and write
code anywhere you are on the go. For me,
I don't know the way you guys work, but
for me, the most ideas I come up with
are at the gym. I guess just lifting
weights, getting huge muscles, really
gets the ideas and the juices flowing.
So, I always have my phone ready where
when the idea comes, I quickly go on the
app, I spin up tasks, and by the time
I'm done getting huge biceps and triceps
and glutes, I'm back home and I have a
bunch of code to review and my app
improved while I was lifting weights.
Your competition, they're looking at
Instagram reels the entire time they're
at the gym. Their biceps are this small.
The amount of dopamine they're getting
from Instagram reels is this big. You
your muscles are getting huge. You're
you're coming with way more features for
your app. you're getting better in every
single way. And lastly, the way I really
like to use this mobile app is before I
walk into my bedroom at night before I'm
going to bed. I always pull open the
mobile app on my phone. I make sure I
have my six to seven tasks I showed you
earlier running so that when I wake up
in the morning, I have code to review, I
have road maps to review, I have tweets
to review, and my app literally got
better while I was sleeping. That is how
you take your productivity to the next
level. That's why claude code for web is
so unbelievably powerful. You now have
the ability to spin up an army of AI
agents. You now have the ability to be a
oneperson business that conquers the day
that gets so much work done. You need to
be taking advantage of this free credit
to drive. There's only $3 of credits and
we improved our app right here. If you
