Hi all! Michael here.
AI agents do most of the typing now, which means longer waiting minutes that could be more fun. So I built Standboy, a little Game Boy that lives in your editor sidebar, wakes up when your agent starts working, and tucks himself away when it stops.
Bring your own ROMs (GB, GBC, GBA all work), saves live in a folder you control.
Free, MIT, no telemetry, just a fun thing.
What would you play while your agent works?

Standboy was hunted by Michael. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it.
