This is great, Kurt! It is interesting to see the different challenges of doing AI-assisted web development vs desktop development. I recently added mcp servers for playwright and Chrome Dev Tools to my arsenal to allow Claude to navigate web apps and see things himself. If you aren't already uploading screenshots manually in your prompt, you could also do that. I did a quick google search to see if there were any "mcp servers that can take screenshots of a desktop app". and it appears there are a few. You might try something like https://github.com/codingthefuturewithai/screenshot_mcp_server to further speed things up. I have a another pet Visual FoxPro app that I've been working on converting to a web app in my (non-existent) spare time, and I'm finding that Claude is a great help in this process. I initially ran bin2prg on the entire project so Claude could read the code better, but there are lots of challenges with a conversion like that! It is always good to hear your progress and insights!
