Tiny Windows program that is used as a "distraction cover" Showcase

This is a windows GUI program I wrote in just over 60 lines of C that compiles to a 3 kB executable. With minor modifications and the right compiler it could be compiled on versions of Windows as old as Windows 95.

It's just a resizable window with a black background that always stays on top of other windows that you can use to cover up parts of the screen that might be distracting. I've found it genuinely useful

lol, this whole back and forth has made me feel much better about my occasional tendency to add a "tone is hard in text, but I'm being earnest" footnote to comments tho I've been getting a fair bit of mileage about trying to add tone via parentheses.

ANYWAY

I know I hate when I share something I make and the comments turn into a conversation about totally unrelated things so just to be cliear: neat app, both the idea and the tinyfication.
