Been working on this off and on for over two months. It's a project dashboard plugin that allows you to organize workspace for easy launching and switching. It was a lot of fun to figure this out, given that Code is Electron there was a lot I had to learn about things like NPM and TypeScript. I'm sold on TypeScript now though. The most important distinction (to me) is that this one supports remote development, without requiring it be installed on the remote servers.

It's a pain in the ass to say yes my app can use v1, v2, v4, but not v3. Once you leave the small set of packages directly related to Composer itself, very few are sitting there juggling version constraints in the real world. Most version constraints are set expecting "features could ever be removed or broken from this point on" and nothing is ever going to fix that human problem, leaving the [...]
