Chatwait v0.1.1

Chatwait shows a single sponsored text card in ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini while the AI is generating a response, using the dead wait time instead of the conversation itself. Users earn 50% of ad revenue as cash back on qualified impressions.

What's in this release

• Sponsored card support for ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, anchored after your message so it never touches conversation content
• Sign in to link your account and start earning cash back on qualified impressions
• Popup UI: earnings ticker, on/off toggle
• Privacy-first design: no prompt/response reading, no broad history/cookies/tabs/clipboard permissions

See PRIVACY.md for the full data policy.
