Claudigotchi: Developer Builds Physical Tamagotchi That Feeds on Claude Code Activity
r/ClaudeAI·low signal
A developer built a physical desktop creature running on an ESP32 with an LCD screen that responds to Claude Code session events in real-time. A Claude Code plugin hooks into tool calls, prompts, and notifications, sending state updates over serial to the device. The Tamagotchi-style creature grows or deteriorates based on coding activity patterns. With 66 upvotes and 14 comments on r/ClaudeAI, it's a creative example of the emerging pattern of physical computing projects built around AI coding tool APIs.
