The full story
The author got tired of refreshing Claude's usage page, so they wired old-school analogue voltmeters to their computer and put them on the desk. Pointify drives these DIY retro gauges from a Rust program to show system stats such as CPU and memory, and Claude usage, at a glance. It was shared as a Show HN.
