Just like how Strava made running more social & fun, Straude connects you to other motivated Claude Code builders so you can share your wins, encourage each other, and climb the token usage leaderboard!
This was my submission to the Built with Opus 4.6: a Claude Code hackathon: https://cerebralvalley.ai/e/claude-code-hackathon

Gamifying Claude Code? Why? A leaderboard of who can blow the most tokens/money? Sure, but it's trivial to make number go up. Very likely that the tool itself is vulnerable to just submitting data yourself. I find this really, really weird.

First impression(s):
1/ it took me a while to understand this is a social network. I thought it was about giving me more visibility into my sessions/token usage
2/ Unless I am missing something it should be pretty easy to game the system.
3/ I think that landing the user on a global feed of all users will help

thx for the great feedback!
great libraries already exist for usage tracking (like ccusage), think of this as just a social layer on top so you can follow other ppl's claude code sessions.
agree landing on global feed vs. "following" makes it more clear, will make that change now.
re: gaming the system, the cli tool pulls from local data usage data files to "verify". while this might be possible to spoof, it'd be a lot of work for not very much gain :)

You may need to be careful using "Strava" on your website as it's a trademarked name.
Cool idea though.

thx! good point. i once heard the cto of supabase say that they didn't hit pmf until they added the copy "open-source firebase alternative" to their website copy & overall product positioning. that was when it finally clicked for devs.
that said, if we're so fortunate to get enough users for this become a problem, i won't hesitate to take it off :)
