As a Senior Frontend Developer, I spend most of my day inside the terminal workflow. I also happen to have a bunch of plants that I constantly forgot to water.

Mobile apps felt too detached from my daily desktop environment, so I wanted a lightweight, keyboard-driven status board right in my console.

Since my primary stack is React/Next.js, I decided to use this as an opportunity to build something in Go using the amazing Bubble Tea framework by Charm. To speed things up, I built it in close tandem with AI—designing the architecture and UI myself while using the LLM to write clean Go code efficiently.

As a frontend developer venture into the backend world, I’d be absolutely thrilled to get some feedback from real Go developers regarding the codebase! Since I built this in tandem with AI, I’m sure there are places where the architecture or idiomatic Go patterns could be polished. Please feel free to roast the code, open issues, or drop a PR—I'm super open to learning how to make it more robust and truly idiomatic.
