Hi, the developer here. Its a very early version so there could be a lot of bugs, but I like to use it myself (already found several bugs and updated version soon on its way). Switching from Cursor to Claude Code this was the biggest loss. Have tried to improve on the Cursor functionality, with features I missed.

I would love any feedback on what you are missing etc

Yes, tried to make it clear that this is Checkpoints for Claude Code. An addition to Claude Code.

I don't think you succeeded. The product name in the article title is 'Claude Code Checkpoints', and the url is 'claude-checkpoints.com'. Nowhere do you note that Claude is a trademark of Anthropic, or disclaim association with Anthropic, or describe that you obtained permission to use their trademarked name in your product. I personally was confused about whether this was an official product at first. I'd be surprised if Anthropic didn't get peeved about this.

Hey, so it's a bit obvious you vibe coded this, which makes me not want to trust it. Some red flags:

- The Apple icon is a literal apple and not the Apple logo.

- You've got 2 Mac download buttons that do the same thing right at the top, surely one of those is a mistake.

- "Watch it in action" is positioned poorly and fails to be a header for the video. Too close to the button above it.

- "Automatic version control" is not what a checkpoint is? "Version control" means git to almost everyone.

- Privacy link is a fake placeholder.

- "See It In Action" looks like you meant to add images and just forgot?

- You named this like 5 things. The website title is "Checkpoints for Claude Code", the domain is "Claude Checkpoints", the UI website title is just "Checkpoints" as if its a standalone brand, the contact email link uses "checkpoints-app.com", and finally you call it "Claude Diff" in the App Store description. Oh and the HN submission is a 6th one, "Claude Code Checkpoints".

Cool project though, sorry to be so critical.
