Hi Product Hunt Fam!
We built an ad layer for one of the most used tools of the generation!
Developers stare at a blinking cursor for hours every day, waiting for AI to finish thinking. We turned that dead time into something useful.
IdleDev is an ad platform built for the terminal, where developers actually live in 2025. Native ads in the Claude Code status line, opt-in by design, with revenue going directly to the developer running the session.
No browser. No banner. No interruption. Just a quiet line of text while the AI does its thing.
Would love your views on this!
This is a weirdly smart use of idle AI time. As long as it stays opt-in, clearly labeled, and doesn’t touch code or prompts, the terminal placement actually makes sense.
