Context Snack fills the wait while AI agents work

Until recently, our hands stayed on the keyboard all day. Now there is a regular window when the agent is working and we are simply waiting for it. I built a Cursor extension called Context Snack to fill that idle but valuable time.
When the agent is busy, Context Snack opens a feed of micro-news for AI developers. It gives you relevant AI news, a look at what is trending, and other useful updates without making you leave the IDE.
It also includes a few small retro games for when you would rather play, or when you have run out of news to read. Context Snack is open source, runs locally, and is completely safe.
