SpinAvatar adds a bouncy, spinning avatar to your VS Code Explorer panel — a tiny companion that bounces around the screen and spins faster when you grab it.
✨ Features
🔄 Always Spinning — Your avatar rotates continuously while you work
🏓 Bounces Around — It moves and bounces off the edges of the panel
🖱️ Draggable — Grab it and throw it — it flies off with a random velocity
💡 Zero Distraction — Lives quietly in the Explorer sidebar, out of your way
