radio alarm clock, Claude AI and librem5 development

Hello everyone,

Two years ago, when I was just starting out with Rust, I began working on a proof of concept (POC) for a radio alarm clock.

This week, I decided to pick up the project again and wanted to test Claude AI in parallel.

I had already used this AI to debug some key issues I was encountering with LibreEM5 and Mobian.
Specifically, using the camera with Firefox and the echo with Pipewire.

I was very surprised by what it suggested for the application code, which was functional within 48 hours.

It provided an excellent UI/UX and went beyond what I had asked for (using SQLite and implementing a window to stop an alarm).

All this while retaining the systemd timers I had requested, necessary for launching the application when the phone is in standby mode (which helps with waking up), and using the Radio Browser API.

It’s not perfect yet, but I have a foundation to work from.

First, I’ll address the issue of using my phone with my Hyundai car.

If you’re interested in seeing the application’s output, the code is here:
