Stop Slouching! Build an AI-Powered Posture Monitor with MediaPipe & Electron 🚀

Are you reading this while hunched over your keyboard like a gargoyle? 🧙‍♂️ Don't worry, we've all been there. "Tech Neck" is the silent productivity killer of the 21st century. But as developers, we don't just complain about back pain—we code solutions for it. In this tutorial, we are going to build a Real-time Posture Correction System . By leveraging Real-time Pose Estimation , MediaPipe , and WebRTC , we'll create a desktop application that watches your back (literally) and sends a system-level notification when your posture starts to slip. We'll be using JavaScript Computer Vision to turn your webcam into a high-tech ergonomic consultant. If you are looking for more advanced production-ready AI patterns and deep dives into vision models, make sure to check out the official WellAlly Tech Blog for more inspiration! 🏗 The Architecture Before we dive into the code, let’s look at how the data flows from your webcam to your nervous system (via a notification). graph TD A[Webcam / WebRTC
