My plugin for Visual Studio Code is nearing 1000 followers and 200k downloads: https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim (Last year it was nearly nonexistent.)
I learned a lot about managing an open source project, but probably the biggest thing was that I learned that even something as uncontentious as a Vim plugin can get a ton of hate online, including from Hacker News. I would hate to be working on a more contentious and visible project.
- AsyncAwait 10y agoHa! Awesome plugin, thanks for working on it. And don't let the haters get to you! (I know it's hard sometimes), the people enjoying your plugin likely vastly outnumber the haters, but they are usually making stuff, so the haters is all you see, since they're the people that have the time to troll you online.
- johnfn 10y agoThanks! Yeah, every now and then I go around the internet looking for positive quotes about it in order to even the balance. :)
- rolodato 10y agoI use your plugin every single day for getting stuff done. Without it I wouldn't even consider using VS Code. Thank you!
- 0xcoffee 10y agoMy personal achievement is similar, but smaller. Almost reaching 1000 downloads for my extension, but never made something like this before, so I am happy when I receive positive reviews.
