creakwork12

creakwork12 is a Rust utility that reads a Framework 12 laptop's hinge position and movement, turning the hinge into a creaky wooden-door sound. The sound pitch depends on the hinge position, while volume depends on how quickly the hinge is adjusted; its filtering is optimized for the Framework 12's hinge stiffness. It is distributed as an executable in the GitHub releases or can be built with Cargo, requiring the system's IIO and ALSA development libraries. The project was built on Fedora and may have dynamic-linking issues on other Linux distributions.
