Show HN: MasteryTrack, Open-source 10000-hour practice tracker(Tauri/Rust/React)

https://github.com/Alpha-Mintamir/MasteryTrack
1•alphalenchoo•2mo ago
I wanted to track my journey toward mastery using the 10,000-hour rule, so I built MasteryTrack — a cross-platform desktop app.

What makes this interesting: I built the entire app with Cursor as my AI pair programmer. The codebase is ~5K lines of Rust + TypeScript, and I shipped it in about a week. It was a fascinating experience seeing how far AI-assisted development has come.

Features: • Focus timer with idle detection & productivity guards • 7 procedurally-generated ambient sounds (rain, white noise, ocean, etc.) — runs 100% offline using Web Audio API • Automatic screenshot capture during practice sessions • Session reflections (what you practiced, learned, next focus) • Progress ring showing journey to 10,000 hours • Data export/import for backup & PC migration • System tray integration

Tech stack: Tauri 2, React 19, Rust, SQLite, TypeScript

The ambient sound generator was particularly fun — instead of bundling audio files, it generates brown noise, rain, and fire crackle sounds procedurally. No network requests, no external dependencies.

Built by Alpha Lencho. Happy to answer questions about the Cursor workflow or the Tauri/Rust experience!
