Theory: govt websites look the way they do because their devs don't have Claude Code😜.
I ran the experiment. Took UPPCL's SMART prepaid meter portal(https://t.co/8CDVwBY8s7) (used by 37M+ people in UP) and rebuilt it over a weekend.

Here's how it went 👇

Appreciate the shoutout! 🙌 Awesome to see the TUI getting some love.

If you have a UPPCL SMART prepaid meter: try it, tell me what breaks.
If you work at any govt IT org: and wants to discuss more. DMs open (bijli aane se pehle reply aa jayega 😎)

Its open-source.

Deployed alongside my Pi-hole on a @Raspberry_Pi Zero 2 W. Caddy on :1912 — UPPCL's own helpline number, because why not🙃🙃
My meter analytics now run on less electricity than the meter measures 😎

For Millennials Coder, who like light theme 🫡

@stitchbygoogle 's design → @claudeai → @nextjs + @tailwindcss , dark + light: Build
Runway forecast
Anomaly detection
Day × calendar heatmap
1912 complaint history

Reverse-engineering it solo? Nah. My claude code limit is still left 😜. Me + ClaudeCode + 4 HAR captures + 6 hours. Mapped all 23 endpoints and shipped a typed FastAPI proxy

[Harshit Chaudhary @Harshitc007]

Since morning, I was playing with @stitchbygoogle.
Typed one prompt → got a gorgeous Material-3 dashboard back in 30 seconds.

Half-joking thought hit: what if I just… replaced the frontend?
Only problem: I don't have the backend data.🧐

Started with a boring task:
Recharge my meter. UPPCL's app & portal give you exactly two things — a balance number and a recharge button. No runway forecast. No "when does my ₹2000 actually run out?". Functional, yes. Informative, no.

Built a tool to report traffic violations in India 🇮🇳
See someone breaking rules? Take a photo + add location - report it in seconds.

Every report instantly appears on a live map.

me, 10 years ago: plz let me work on distributed systems!

now: oh god please keep it one process one machine for as long as you can

Cool to see vortix listed on @terminaltrove alongside other great terminal tools.🚀
Built this because I needed a simple way to manage VPN.
If you're a terminal person who uses VPNs, give it a try:

macOS only for now (uses ifconfig, netstat, wg, ps).

Linux support coming.
Source Code - https://t.co/pCExeCOl26
Install - cargo install vortix

Built with Rust. Open source.

If you use VPNs from the terminal, check it out. Feedback welcome!

[Harshit Chaudhary @Harshitc007]

Just shipped Vortix — a terminal UI for WireGuard & OpenVPN.

Why I built it:
1. I love TUIs
2. I juggle multiple VPN profiles
3. GUI app take up too much space. Terminal apps are lightweight.

All the features I need, zero bloat.

All in the terminal.
