Check out the Rubberduck Extension [1] for VS Code. It's not super well publicized but I've actually found it basically hits a perfect middle ground between copilot and copy/pasting into ChatGPT. You can give it a prompt to edit code and it will stream the answer from GPT-4 into VS Code and show you a live diff with your current code. It's actually pretty well done, I use it dozens of times a day for even super minor things (I'm lazy).
Actually, it looks like this project is fairly similar in some ways. A little more full featured.

- whoisjuan 3y agoThanks! I’ll give this a try for sure.
- lgrammel 3y agoAuthor here - thanks for the mention! Re publicizing: I can never get any attention for my projects, no matter where I post them. Sites like this one (where I tried posting the project multiple times) feel very gamed to me at this point.
- bsenftner 3y agoI'm trying your extension. I have held the same suspicions for over a decade. Practically given up on trying to get notice for my projects, the situation feels so random and/or pay to play.
- extr 3y agoSorry! I didn't mean to imply you had done a bad job publicizing it, I know marketing this kind of stuff is a whole separate job. I'm honestly just surprised the project hasn't gotten more attention organically since it's awesome. Your extension is at least as good as the OP here, if not better now that I've had time to try them both out. I tried probably a dozen half baked VS Code GPT integrations and yours is by far the most polished and usable. Way, way too good to only have 17k downloads on the marketplace. I've been recommending it to my coworkers and friends non-stop. My one suggestion: I hate to say it but the name RubberDuck and the icon you've used kind of undersell the seriousness of the project. I think the whole "hacker" branding thing is kind of lame but it could be worth some tweaks to make it seem more "cool" :/. Also your website seems to be down!
- lgrammel 3y agoOh yeah, never thought that - was just frustrated at the lack of success in my marketing efforts. Thanks for the feedback, good points!
