From the about page: Towards the end of 2017, I found myself wanting to play a quick game of something while I was working. That something turned out to be blackjack. I tried a few web-based games and downloaded a bunch to my phone. All of them either felt kinda scammy, were hard to look at, or just played way too slow. I like making things, so I made Blackjack Break. I hope it's a fun diversion for you like it is for me.

Hey HN, I made this after working from a coffee shop when I happened to notice my battery was already at 50% – after just an hour. Turns out one of the browser tabs I had open was using 100% CPU. It'd been going on for awhile so the fan was spinning like crazy but I couldn't hear it over the noise in the shop.

So what the app does is it lets you know when a program starts draining your battery so you can close it and save battery power. Specifically, it triggers a notification when any process uses x% CPU or consumes y gigabytes of memory for z seconds (you choose the x, y, and z values).

This is the first piece of software I've written that isn't a web app and the first release I've felt comfortable sharing widely. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
