A Reddit thread explores how vibe coding is bringing new development to Blackberry OS, Apple PowerPC, and Palm. The poster shares two Claude-built projects: Sommet, which restores old features to the Suunto Ambit sports watch line, and BryMaps, which builds OpenStreetMap maps for old black-and-white Bryton Aero 60 and Rider 450 cycling computers — showing AI coding's unique value for abandoned hardware ecosystems.
