Feed the Claw mascot

You built something cool.
Now tell people about it.

Feed the Claw turns "I should really post about this" into a daily habit.

A tiny lobster that grows when you distribute. Neglect it and... well.

HOW IT WORKS

📡

1. Broadcast

Post something publicly. Tweet, blog post, launch day update, whatever. Paste the link. The Claw eats links.

🦞

2. Feed

Your Claw grows with every signal. Earn XP, level up, evolve from a tiny larva into an ancient beast.

🔥

3. Streak

Build the habit. Miss a day and the shell cracks. Three days of feeding heals it. Don't break the chain.

Fun fact: real lobsters never stop growing. Your distribution habit shouldn't either.

FEATURES

Daily Ritual

Three signal types: broadcast, engage, ship. Each one feeds the Claw.

Hunger + Guilt

Miss a day and the shell cracks. You'll feel bad. That's the point.

Monthly Molts

30-day streak triggers a molt. New form, shareable card.

Link Enrichment

Paste a URL and see rich previews — titles, favicons, platform badges.

Distribution Calendar

GitHub-style heatmap on your dashboard. 52 weeks of signal history at a glance.

Smart Nudges

Shipped something but didn't tell anyone? Your Claw will remind you. Politely.
