Score: 4.8/10 (Innovation: 5, Technical: 5, Documentation: 6, Utility: 3)

A global click counter that draws a unique Maurer rose for each click count, storing the count in a binary file with flock-based concurrency control and rate limiting. It creatively combines a mathematical visualization with a simple web app, but has limited practical utility beyond novelty.

Target audience: backend developers, math enthusiasts, hobbyists
