Take Attention

[!WARNING] The extension can't be used for hosting your BDScript-based Discord bot outside of the BDFD App!
The extension can only be used for improved bot development process which is possible by using VS Code and its fancy features, as well as by extension's own features.

[!NOTE] The Sync feature's features are based on the BDFD Web App (it will be changed as soon as BDFD releases its special API for interacting with BDFD outside of the mobile and web app).
Please note that it's not possible to implement such features as editing Slash Commands because it's not implemented in the BDFD Web App.
