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.
