Now Coding for Visual Studio Code

Show what you're coding on your GitHub profile with Readme Widgets.

When you switch files or save, the extension sends your Now Coding widget three things: the file's name, its language and the repository link. After 10 minutes without typing, it shows you as idle.

Setup

  1. Sign in at readmewidgets.dev and open Now Coding.
  2. Click Connect VS Code and confirm in VS Code.

To set it up by hand instead, run Now Coding: Enter Secret from the Command Palette (Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + P) and paste the secret from the dashboard.

Commands

  • Now Coding: Enter Secret: paste a new secret.
  • Now Coding: Toggle Tracking: pause or resume sharing. Clicking Now Coding in the status bar also has this.
  • Now Coding: Open Dashboard: open the widget editor.

Settings

  • nowCoding.apiSecret: your secret from the dashboard.
  • nowCoding.apiUrl: where your status is sent. Leave this as is unless you use Readme Widgets on a different domain, like https://widgets.coreyartz.com/api/vscode-status.
