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
