Hey HN I'm Terrence and I built Javalamp, a terminal "lava lamp" screensaver that keeps your mac awake while your agents/tools are running.
I built it because I kept having longer running coding/AI jobs pause when my Mac went to sleep, and I wanted something lightweight and fun that lived in the terminal.
I’m curious whether others have this problem too and what features would make this actually useful (metrics, different visualizations, non-Mac support, etc.).
Feedback on both the idea and the implementation is very welcome.
Thanks!
- gus_massa 4mo agoDo you ha ve some screenshots or better a short video? Does the lava lamp stops when the AI job stops? So... 1) ... I can see it and look at the result 2) ... the computer get's bored and go to sleep and save electricity
- tbreschi 4mo ago1.. I’d have to think through about how to wire it up to listen to the other terminal where the job is running, but yeah I suppose this could work. 2. Yeah this is a smart feature would be cool. Thanks for the feedback!
