**Pretend to be busy or waiting for your computer when you should actually be doing real work!** Impress people with your insane multitasking skills. Just open a few instances of `genact` and watch the show. `genact` has multiple scenes that pretend to be doing something exciting or useful when in reality nothing is happening at all.
## Installation
You don't have to install anything! For your convenience, prebuilt binaries for Linux, OSX and Windows are provided [here](https://github.com/svenstaro/genact/releases) that should run without any dependencies. **Additionally, there is a web version at https://svenstaro.github.io/genact/**
It's compatible with FreeBSD, Linux, macOS, Windows, and most modern web browsers that support WebAssembly.
**On FreeBSD**: You don't have to do anything special here. Just run

cd genact
cargo run --release
## Releasing
This is mostly a note for me on how to release this thing:
- Make sure `CHANGELOG.md` is up to date.
- `cargo release `
- `cargo release --execute `
- Releases will automatically be deployed by GitHub Actions.
- Update Arch package.
