At some point, coding stopped being engaging.
Not difficult. Not frustrating. Just… boring.
So I built a VS Code extension to make it feel better.

The Idea

Most dev tools optimize for speed but I wanted to optimize for feeling.
The goal was to make coding more responsive and satisfying without adding distractions.

What It Does

It adds subtle feedback while you work:

• small cues as you type
• a sense of momentum
• a smoother flow state

Nothing loud. Just enough to make coding feel less “dead”.

Why It Matters

When coding feels better, you:

• stay focused longer
• switch context less
• enjoy the process more

Small improvements in how something feels add up over time.
