+1 for Marp, and +1 for VS code as a ecosystem

  VS Code is great but I'm concerned about there being a single canonical "app store". It would be nice to see an equivalent "F-Droid" that's usable side-by-side with the MS marketplace. I believe code-server (VSCode in Docker over a Browser) does something like that for OSS extensions but it's my assumption that the VSCode codebase only supports one store at a time.

    There's already OpenVSX (https://open-vsx.org/ https://open-vsx.org/) maintained by the Eclipse foundation, and it contains almost all of the mostly used FOSS extensions (not the propietary Microsoft extensions though). It's used by default in VSCodium (FOSS version of VS code), and also Eclipse's own cloud editor Theia (https://theia-ide.org/ https://theia-ide.org/).

      I hadn't heard of this! Thank you! My VSCode experience is primarily "VSCode" (not Codium) w/ the MS Remote extensions and looking at code-server for its more unique capabilities. Definitely going to look into this and adopt it where I can. FYI, it looks like the code-server devs have some concerns about # of extensions and matching the MS market: https://github.com/cdr/code-server/issues/1473 https://github.com/cdr/code-server/issues/1473 . I'm not too worried about that for myself though.
