You're In Business

The project solves a clear pain point for PC users but operates in a highly competitive system optimization market. It demonstrates promising build-in-public engagement, especially on LinkedIn and Dev.to, but current traction is minimal with only ~270 downloads and 55 GitHub stars. The technical integration of an LLM (hck_GPT) with system management (WMI) features adds novelty to a traditional GUI app.

Project Details

Description
10 Months of build-in-public, real-time system monitor that explains WHY your PC is slow, not just that it's slow. It learning your natural spikes of voltage/temperatures and many others, it also knows you don't stop playing Leauge Of Legends! Its a central for opimizing your PC (turning off most of useless services, apps like cortana or others, magnaging your Apps who wake up with Windows, Fan Control) My own hck_GPT inside from months, you can ask about any parameter(like HWMonitor).

Target Users
Its for people who care about their PC / Laptop / Battery. For oldier and newest hardwares. When you work, when you in gaming or just rendering something. You can easy optimize your PC, configure features one time and then just turn all them ON by clicking "TURBO MODE" on Main Dashboard. E.x. one feature: Services inside Optimization Center are set on Economy Mode. Turbo Mode remembers that, remembers what you set and just keep your performance. No noise, no spam, only important situations or suspected voltages/temps/others alerts :) It also improved by checking auth of process, by Company, verify and others.
Technologies
Other, Python, SQLite, tkinter, WMI, Sigstore
Traction Evidence
Everything what I made, with what I have trouble or just everything what I want to do in my PC Workman, is fully build-in-public. From two months I got my series format, what helps me wake up community for help and shape PC Workman and hck_GPT (inside). On X, Linkedin (and sometimes I write article) I have: - Monday Grind Blueprint (it's a plan to do for Friday) - Wednesday Code Autopsy (I showing a best (not boring :) ) part of my real code, and explain how it works) - Friday Shipped & Scarred (What I do, with what I have trouble. Or what I don't do what I said on monday (sometimes becouse I trying to sync, programming after shifts) And I write a lot of story about shaping and make my PC Workman.
