What it does

AI coding agents leave you with dozens of 30-second-to-3-minute waits a day, and most of them end in a phone detour that costs 20 minutes. Unwait is a macOS menu bar app that senses when Claude Code or Codex is working and shows one flashcard in the corner: language vocab, dev concepts, or news. The moment your agent finishes or blocks on a permission prompt, one click puts you back in the right terminal. The overlay never steals keyboard focus. No account. 14-day trial, then $1.99/month.

Short cards show up while Claude Code and Codex work. For Mac and Windows. Two weeks free, no card and no sign up.

Learn a word, an idea, or today's AI news while Claude Code and Codex work. No window to open. Unwait watches your sessions and puts a card up while your agent works. Run as many agents as you want. Each one gets its own strip when itfrom unwait.ai

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
