https://reddit.com/link/1rr0oha/video/bxivq1gkdgog1/player Inspired by this tweet , I wanted to add some fun to the terminal. I built a free PTY proxy using Claude that wraps Claude Code with a shadow terminal. It renders a bouncing ASCII art as a transparent overlay whenever Claude is thinking. When it stops, the overlay disappears and your terminal is perfectly restored. How it works: It uses Claude Code hooks (like UserPromptSubmit and Stop events), so the animation starts and stops automatically The visuals are completely customizable and you can swap in any ASCII art you want It currently only supports MacOS, and the repo is linked in the comments! submitted by /u/char1l
