Bacon shows a tiny, labeled ad on a terminal surface while your AI coding agent is thinking and pays you half of what the advertiser pays. 🥓 What makes it different: Server-owned pricing — your cut is a floor, not a bid. Advertisers can't underpay you. Privacy by architecture — only a coarse intent label (auth, database…) ever leaves your machine. Never your prompts, never your code. This is a side hustle, not a paycheck — found money for time you're already spending waiting on your agent.
Hey PH đź‘‹ I'm Oscar, building Bacon solo right now.
The idea: kickbacks.ai built spinner-ads + dev rev-share first, as a VS Code extension — full credit to them. I live in the terminal (Cursor, Orca, plain shells), so I built the terminal-native version as a personal challenge.
Where it actually stands: Literally just launched it and im working the 2 sided network problem.
I'm not pretending this is bigger than it is — the model only works if it stays honest about that.
Would genuinely love feedback on: does the privacy/trust architecture actually read as trustworthy, or does the pitch need more? And is "found money while you wait" a compelling enough hook on its own? 🥓
