Show HN: CursorBird – Flap some wings while Cursor's agent is generating code

[iamnoamg]

Hi HN! Creator of CursorBird here. I've recently built and published a fun side project I think you might enjoy: It's a simple Cursor extension that lets you play a flappy bird clone while the agents are running. It uses Cursor's hook system to detect agent activity: the game automatically opens when an agent starts working and closes when all agents finish. Press Tab to flap. 100% open source.

Repo: https://github.com/i-am-noamg/cursorbird

Install: https://open-vsx.org/extension/cursorbird/cursor-bird or from Cursor's extensions search

It started as a funny idea but turns out it does a pretty good job with keeping me from constantly doomscrolling every time I have to wait for the agent to finish its task.

Let me know what you think!

So an open-source version of ChadIDE? :-)

Told them I'm waiting for my acceptance letter as well https://x.com/cursorbird_/status/1991530623253770535?s=20

But yea the extension was almost done when they published that nonsense in YC so I guess you can say we're direct competitors :P
