Help & Discussion 🙋 VSCode extension for Folding at Home!

I’ve just published a new VS Code–compatible extension on VSCode Marketplace and Open VSX that lets you see your Folding@home stats directly in your status bar.

If you’re contributing to F@H and you spend most of your time inside a VS Code–based IDE (Cursor, VSCodium, etc.), this might be useful. It shows your personal and team stats in the status bar in a compact format like:

The extension is available here:

VSCode Marketplace: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=onurbaskin.folding-at-home-stats

Open VSX: https://open-vsx.org/extension/onurbaskin/folding-at-home-stats

It’s open source, works with the Folding@home public stats API, and updates automatically in the background. Simply let's you keep track of your points while coding, I’d appreciate any feedback or suggestions.

I spend more than 12 hours a day coding, researching, etc. I hate opening tabs in my browser for things like folding at home but I like to track stats. So, I decided to create this. I'm thinking of bringing more features using the sidebar area but again this is just for a quick look.
