I Tested The Viral Reverse Engineering Repo

From the creator

Get started with OpenRouter here: https://openrouter.plug.dev/NY7fmtI What if you could reverse engineer almost any app and rebuild it from scratch using AI? In this video, I test the viral Reverse Engineer Anything (REA) repo to see what it can actually do. We’ll break down how it works, explore its available tools, and look at how OpenRouter fits into the workflow. Then, I put it to the test by attempting to rebuild MongoDB Compass. Does REA actually deliver impressive results, or is the hype bigger than the reality? I’ll walk through the results and share my honest take.

Your idea can be anything. At our last workshops, people built plant-based nutrition businesses, a way to measure planetary resilience, crochet headwear and a way to connect lonely people living in the same building. This fourth workshop is a full day at KOKO with Nick Sarafa, learning to build with Claude Code. Bring the thing you keep meaning to start. We’ll bring the pizza.
