Show HN: Wallpaper that grows as you ship

https://github.com/JulienAvezou/growth-wallpaper-macos

2•Dungoo•2w ago

With this project, I am exploring how visuals can reflect consistent progress and shipping over time.

The idea is simple: the wallpaper updates as you close GitHub issues.

I want this to be community-based so we can create and share themes to celebrate our growth!

The app runs entirely on your machine.

The project is open source, check out the repo and join the discussions.

If you have feedback or ideas for themes that represent growth, please share!

Hey, cool concept! The demo video is a bit unclear; most of it is you clicking around and the actually "growth" is a bit underwhelming. Seems like there were only 3-4 transitions per scene. But again, hard to tell from the demo

Hey, thanks! Noted, I agree it could be clearer and concise. Will keep in mind for the next iteration.
