Hi dev community,
It is great to see how people around the world come together to this community to share their experience and thoughts on technology. I’ve personally enjoyed reading posts here from time to time :)
Today I would l like to use the opportunity to share my first post here about my most recent project! The project I worked on is a Visual Studio Code Extension, called Hue. As you might have guessed, it is an extension that will control your Hue lights. My initial goal with this project was very simple, I was looking for an excuse to create a VS Code extension, and controlling basic Hue lighting commands. Then, the idea progressed to make it more “intelligent” and relatable to the IDE itself (Integrated Development Environment).
There has been a research about color coding your IDE theme so that you can switch context easily. I personally have worked on multiple projects with different programming languages every day. And I often made mistakes on the language specific syntaxes while context-switching. But I agree that the color of the themes assigned for each language helps me to know what syntaxes are expected to be used. So, this extension will use the same idea by color-coding your physical surrounding by using your Hue lights, making your most favorite IDE blends in well with your surrounding!
There is a lot of rooms for expansion and improvements on this extension, and I would love to hear it from you!
Meanwhile, give it a try. And I hope you would enjoy using it!
Happy coding!
