Literally unusable as it is. Some minimal extra features this would need:

- rainbow dripping arrows

- angrily pointing arrows

- flame-surrounded text boxes with particle effects

- the ability for the agent to play airhorn.wav at max volume, overriding existing volume or mute settings

This is where the agent says did not understand sarcasm coded and shipped features

Last time I accidentally said something sarcasticly over-ambitious to an LLM, it shipped this popup callout tooltip feature on a PDP-7 Type 340 vector graphics display emulator that shows you the meaning of the drawing you're pointing at, as well as the address of the instruction that drew it.

At the risk of stating the obvious - let's not do that, the goal of this repo is to be useful and not to give agents the power of the `<blink>` tag.

just submitted the airhorn PR; ~second rainbow arrow slop grenade incoming~ BOOM slop cannon fired

thx, not merged but great PR https://github.com/franzenzenhofer/big-arrow-on-the-screen/p...

Lol, that's awesome.

Oh dear, they were making a joke.

if only there was a way to make a subtle thing obvious

such as... angry flaming rainbow textboxes and arrows?

I thought that the dripping rainbow ones were enough. Maybe you have to ask for rainbow unicorns flying on the screen.

For the humor impared, it would also be useful to have a colorful animated "WHOOSH" overlay with sound effects for every time a deadpan joke goes over your head. ;)

Maybe isoprophlex will add that to his PR!

It's already got the power to be obnoxious at you

the repo is one big joke, of course they should add this
