🐈 You step away for ten seconds, come back, and "dffffgggghhhjkl;;;" is now live in #general. So I built something to stop it. Idea to live on GitHub in a day with Claude (Opus 4.8). It’s a tiny app to catch cat-typing and suppress it, while letting humans type normally. It reads the patterns a cat makes (paws hit several keys at once, roll across neighbors, no spaces, no structure) and clamps the input before it goes anywhere. The moment you start typing like a person again, it lets go. There's also a live demo where you can try to type like a cat and watch it fight back. Bring your own cat. Or just mash the keys 😁 https://miladsafarzadeh1.github....

@miladsafarzadeh1 Happy launch Milad! Perfect. I’ll test it tonight in a house with 6 cats who think my keyboard is their personal dance floor. Ultimate real-world test :D
