From a Simple Curiosity to a Full System Monitor — The Story Behind Zoh

Sometimes the best projects don’t start with a big plan. They start with a small question. About a month ago, I was sitting with my laptop wondering why it felt slow most of the time. It’s not a high-end machine, so I often try to understand what exactly is happening inside it. My first thought was simple: “How much load is each CPU core actually taking?” That was it. No product idea. No roadmap. I just wanted to see how my processor was behaving. So I decided to build a tiny tool for myself. At the same time, I wanted to learn Tauri and Rust, so instead of watching tutorials, I thought the best way to learn would be to build something real. So the project began. ⸻ The First Step The first version of the tool was extremely small. All it did was show CPU usage and per-core activity. I wanted to see how each core was working and how the system load changed in real time. Once that part worked, something interesting happened. I started thinking: “If I can see CPU usage… why not see memory
