Are you looking for a way to inspire productivity within your code development? Traditional KPIs not providing sufficient motivation to get what you need done? Maybe PROHE is the motivational muse you need.
PROHE is a Visual Studio Code extension that enables developers to enhance their coding experience with haptics from supported devices.
The extension leverages the Intiface platform to connect to your device and provide real-time productivity reinforcement as you type into your VSCode editor.
Features
Connects to your supported haptics-enabled devices via the Intiface platform.
Haptics intensity builds up with consistent typing, reaching a maximum threshold.
Haptics intensity decreases over time in response to a lack of typing.
Requirements
Visual Studio Code (VSCode)
Intiface Central software installed and server running
Installation
Open VS Code
Go to the Extensions view (⇧⌘X on macOS or Ctrl+Shift+X on Windows/Linux)
Search for PROHE and click the Install button
Once the installation is complete, click the Reload button
Usage
Connect your supported device to your computer via the Intiface Central software
Open Visual Studio Code
Run the PROHE: Connect command from the Command Palette (⇧⌘P on macOS or Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows/Linux)
Start typing in your VSCode editor to experience the vibration feedback
Configuration
The following options are available for configuration:
prohe.serverAddress: The Intiface Central server address to connect to (typically of the form ws://SERVER:PORT)
prohe.typingWindow: Length of the gap in typing (in milliseconds) before vibration decreases by a stage
prohe.vibrationMax: The maximum vibration intensity that can be achieved
prohe.vibrationStages: The number of stages the vibration increases through
More stages means a more granular vibration change per stage
A higher number will mean more stages to get through to get to maximum vibration
prohe.vibrationStageLength: Duration (in milliseconds) of each stage of vibration
Longer stage length will mean a longer ramp up time to get to maximum vibration
