       Show HN: I built a Claude AI chat interface to bypass platform
       limits
        
       I got frustrated with Claude's official platform limitations -
       conversations disappearing, no customization options, and clunky
       file handling.  So I built my own interface over a weekend!
       GitHub: https://github.com/chihebnabil/claude-ui  What it does:  -
       Saves all conversations locally (SQLite + Drizzle ORM) - Lets you
       customize Claude's personality per chat - Handles file attachments
       properly + caching input tokens - Dark/light mode - No conversation
       limits - Markdown & code syntax highlighting  Tech stack is pretty
       simple:  - Nuxt 3 for the frontend - Anthropic's SDK for Claude
       integration - @nuxt/ui for components - Local SQLite DB  Happy to
       answer any questions!
