Inspiration:

Recently noticed that my productivity tended to wane after extended periods of time spent coding. To address this issue, I came up with this idea to keep myself inspired and focused while working. Then decided to create a Visual Studio Code extension that would send a notification every 5 minutes with a random animal emoji and a motivational quote.

What it does:

The Motivation extension for Visual Studio Code sends a notification every 5 minutes with a random animal emoji and a random motivational quote to keep you inspired and focused while coding. The extension uses an external API to fetch motivational quotes and generates a random animal emoji to add some fun to your coding experience.

How we built it:

Used Typescript, and Yomancode (Yo code command) Built the Functions Using Javascript

Challenges we ran into :

Importing Axios Calling the API Ensuring the quotes and emojis were appropriate for a professional coding environment.

Accomplishments that we're proud of:

Finally was able to put emojis in the quote to make it fun

What we learned:

A lot about APIs and how to render them plus was a great experience Building an Extension that extended my creativity as well

What's next for Pet Maheshwari:

Make it More Interactive and Using Animations
