🛠 Optimizing Downtime in Claude Code with Meanwhile

The open-source tool Meanwhile has been released, turning the waiting time for task execution in the Claude Code CLI into a productive process. It creates a sidebar in tmux that displays a summary of AI news and educational concepts (spaced repetition) while the model is working, and hides itself when user input is required.

🌍 Increases developer productivity by turning AI agent waiting periods into opportunities for micro-learning and staying market-aware.

👤 Allows users to stay in the terminal without getting distracted by a browser, providing a structured stream of knowledge directly within the workspace.
