I’m working on the next update for Proximity Lock, and I want to sanity-check the direction with the PH community. Right now, the product is mainly used by technical users who are comfortable installing and configuring things themselves. But after talking to a few early users, one pattern stood out: 👉 Non-technical users like the idea, but hesitate because setup feels “too technical.” So the...

It’s a good reminder that distribution isn’t just about reach; it’s often the fastest way to uncover...

Proximity Lock System ranked #4 Product of the Day on Nov 15, really grateful for the support and feedback. Building this CLI reinforced how much people still value simple, reliable tools that quietly do one thing well.

Understand why your CPU slows down in real time. Thermal Throttling Analyzer is a Windows-only CLI diagnostic tool that detects, explains, and visualizes CPU thermal throttling instead of just showing raw temperatures. Most tools tell you what the temperature is. TTA tells you when throttling happens, why it happens, and how it impacts performance. ⚙️ What it does Detects active CPU thermal...
