Dá praia amanhã? One line the night before, picked by code and explained by Gemma 4 on my laptop
This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge Week 1: Touch Grass What I Built Last week I built a tool that reads what my coding agents ran in the terminal. Between midnight and mid-afternoon of one working day, it counted 548 commands. This week's theme is Touch Grass, and that number made it personal. I live in Niterói, across the bay from Rio.

Dá praia amanhã? It's a simple question asked every night before in Rio and Niterói, wondering if tomorrow will be beach day. This week, the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge focused on "Touch Grass," and the tool Dá Praia was built to answer this question. It reads through coding agents' terminal commands, counting 548 between midnight and mid-afternoon on one working day.
The creator, Gemma 4, lives in Niterói and built the tool to help plan beach activities, like footvolley, beach volleyball, running on hard sand, or swimming, based on wind, rain, and tide conditions. Dá Praia picks the best hour to go out using an open forecast, your preferences, and a model running on your own machine, explaining the pick through plain code.
The tool ensures that only your written preferences are used, and any numbers in the quote have to match the values in your preferences. The goal is to provide a simple line of information about the beach day, read once in the evening or as a push notification, and then go out and enjoy the beach.
