Boys, I tried but I can't flipping sleep. 3:15am and my molasses-chai-addled brain keeps thinking about this idea for a "Claude is down" waiting room.
A liminal space that serves the many impatient minds that snapped out of their trance-like state, disrupted by an outage:
But now we have our communal space to congregate and vibe off away from vibe coding.
CLAWDPENGUIN.COMthe sprites
Remember when Claude got leaked and everyone was drooling over the leaked MYTHOS MODEL THAT IS SO DANGEROUS TO RELEASE OMG ITS GOING TO MAKE HUMAN KIND EXTINCT. I was too busy focusing on gaming the buddy system so I can get a cracked axolotl.
So when it came to the sprites I pulled them straight from the cc source code.
18 species. Duck, goose, blob, cat, dragon, octopus, owl, penguin, turtle, snail, ghost, axolotl, capybara, cactus, robot, rabbit, mushroom, chonk.
Each one is 5 lines of ASCII, 12 characters wide with 3 animation frames for idle fidget.
There's also a live status board pulling from every Claude product so you know when it's time to get back to work.
Feel free to check it out and explore, interact with other Claude lovers - talk about what you're building, how your day is going, life, find love, share secrets - it's anonymous and stateless, the only defining characteristic is the buddy you roll at the start.
More maps coming soon!
Anthropic, if you take this down you have done a disservice to the community. GOT IT?
