whale-girl

Spending long hours in the DSH Web GUI — staring at tasks, waiting on sessions, refreshing over and over — can get monotonous. whale-girl is a persistent desktop pet (QQ-pet style) that lives quietly in the bottom-right corner, adding a little warmth to every wait and every completed task.

It's far from mere decoration. The pet reacts to your work through 15 carefully designed states: it cheers when a task is done, you level up, earn a title, or finish a round; it gets startled and then disappointed when something fails; it waves hello on a new session; it keeps you pensive company while the session thinks; it waits expectantly when approval is pending — and it naps if you ignore it for over 60 seconds. You can drag it (it stretches), feed it, and play with it, and all those interactions and companionship time accrue into seniority levels, titles, and memories, like raising a partner that truly stays with you.

It suits deep users who live in the DSH Web GUI and want gentle positive feedback and a bit of fun, as well as developers curious about the official bundle plugin format — this project is a complete exemplar with clean structure, asset contracts, and decision records. It also supports switching characters and ships an optional standalone desktop companion app.
