Show HN: A persistent volume slider for the Windows taskbar

A small dumb app that allows changing the volume quickly from the taskbar in a single click. Not super interesting, but maybe practically useful for you guys. I made it pretty fast with Claude Code on WSL.

Seems to work OK, but I couldn't relocate the window, and it covers up the Start button.

Thanks for trying it. If you click near the edge you should be able to drag it somewhere else.
