I've created the most annoying VS Code extension ever: Crazy Monkey 🐒

Are you tired of productivity tools that remove all distractions? Do you need something to throw you off your comfort zone? Say hello to Crazy Monkey, the most annoying VS Code extension ever.

Why Crazy Monkey?

When you call the "Start Crazy Monkey" command, a periodic process starts: every X minutes (configurable through the interval property) a random line will be added with a small random string (by the "crazy monkey" haha) just to test your attention. Your commit diff will show how focused you really are hahaha.

You can call "Stop Crazy Monkey" whenever you want the periodic process to stop.

Feedback

I'd love to hear your thoughts, suggestions, and of course, your rants. Comment below or create an issue on GitHub.

PS.: I created this extension as a learning step on my VSCode Extension Developer journey. If you liked it, give the Coffee Spill extension a try as well.

Cheers!
