Claude Labels Menu‑bar Launcher “Dumb” But Solves UI Split
Ha! This is new — I love it? Claude Opus 4.6 just called one of my ideas dumb. (I asked it to argue both sides of an idea.) "The menu bar app is dumb — it's a process launcher and status light. All the rich UI (project cards, Claude jobs, logs) stays in Mothership where you already have it. The shim solves the chicken-and-egg; Mothership provides the dashboard."
