dilinx — get paid while you code

A subtle, clearly-labeled sponsored item in your VS Code status bar. You earn from each viewed impression — credited to your dilinx account. Fully opt-in, reversible, and it never patches your editor or any other software — it only uses VS Code's own status-bar API.

How it works

1. Install the extension.
2. Run dilinx: Sign in (Command Palette) — it opens your browser to sign in / sign up, then connects the editor automatically (no password typed in VS Code).
3. A rotating ad · … item appears in your status bar. Click it to open the sponsor. Each rotation that you view credits your account.

Commands

• dilinx: Sign in / Sign out
• dilinx: Toggle sponsored item on/off
• dilinx: Open current sponsor
• dilinx: Open earnings dashboard

Settings

• dilinxAd.enabled — show/hide the sponsored item (default true).
• dilinxAd.rotateSeconds — rotation/credit interval (default 25).
• dilinxAd.apiBase — backend URL (default the hosted dilinx).

Notes

• The item is always labeled ad ·. Disable anytime with dilinxAd.enabled or dilinx: Toggle.
• Impressions are only credited while the VS Code window is focused.
• Earnings are simulated during the beta.
• Privacy: the only data sent is ad impression events to the dilinx backend.
