About Standboy

Standboy is a unique developer tool designed to enhance productivity by integrating a playful, Game Boy-themed interface directly into your code editor sidebar. It functions as an interactive visual cue, waking up to signal when your AI agent is actively working and retreating when idle. This innovative approach creates an engaging and intuitive way for developers to monitor AI-driven processes without distraction, making it especially appealing for those working heavily with automation, code generation, or AI-powered workflows. Its open-source nature and seamless integration into development environments make it a distinctive addition to developer toolkits, fostering a fun yet functional workspace.
