Show HN: Built a free VS Code extension to help share code updates
Hi HN,
I built a free, and completely open source, visual studio code extension, which generates tweets based on commits you select.
While I was working on webtilities.com, an idea came to me: wouldn't it be cool that I could market this thing inside my editor. Ah, i'm truly lazy. Well, I spent a week building this thing that I bet no one will need because:
* "This wont work. My commit messages are terrible"
* "This is stupid, I can just use ChatGPT/Gemini/[Insert Chat Platform] directly"
* "This is stupid, I get BILLED for using openai tokens"
...
And the list goes on. But, I don't care. If you want to use it, use it. If you want more features, reach me on twitter: https://x.com/harveenatwal_ https://x.com/harveenatwal_
- Narhem 2y agoAwesome! Might use this if I get the chance to try another startup!
- harveenatwal 2y agoGive it a go! I'd love to hear if you have any suggestions or feedback!
- 8mobile 2y agoHi, great. I like to share my most important commits in open source projects with tweets. Nice idea, I'll install it right away.
- harveenatwal 2y agoHey man, wanted to follow up with you and ask you how it went? Was it what your were expecting?

- SigmundurM 2y agoWould be great to be able to see an example! I assume you'll have examples on your Twitter, but Twitter requires an account to see anything on your profile.

- harveenatwal 2y agoGreat idea. I'm going to add some examples to the README
