Slouching at your desk? Tachigurasu is here to judge you. 👾

Built by Jieruei Chang and Alexander Liang, this 3D-printed companion uses ML models to monitor posture. Slouch too long and it dies.

Guilt-driven ergonomics at its finest!

@FlorinPop17 @Raress96_ @warpdotdev I'm happy with warp most of the time and will switch over to claude code if I hit my warp limit. Sometimes I play with both in separate tabs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
