I've got Opus crunching on it now, will update when I have it finished and published

Edit:

Running on my Fedora KDE machine right now. Also includes a CLI so you could wrap your own widget

I still need to figure out publishing, doing this in between work meetings.

This is so cool that we can port useful stuff like this in minutes, thanks for sharing!

I packaged it for Arch Linux AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/whatcable-linux

Sorry, I'm late to the party but there's no rust port yet, so ..

Thanks to the previous implementers/clauders.. I don't take any credits.

I have Claude working on a port to Intercal. Says it may take awhile, I'll post updates when they're available.

Interesting. GPT-5.5 implementation was simpler with Python and a QML code.

Python was a choice offered during the ideation phase but I chose to go with the C++ implementation
