Faah Faah — Error Sounds & Roasts for VS Code
Your code has errors. You will be judged. Audibly.
Faah Faah plays the iconic faaah sound every time you write bad code — and it gets personal.
Features
🔊 Error Sounds
- 1–2 errors → 1x faaah
- 3–5 errors → 2x faaah
- 6+ errors → 3x faaah + editor flashes red
🔔 Warning Sounds
A gentle chime plays when new warnings appear. A polite intervention.
🏆 Victory Sound
Fix all your errors → victory sound + "You absolute legend!"
😤 Git Blame Roast
Faah Faah reads your git username and makes it personal:
"Srishti broke the build. Classic."
🌙 Late Night Mode
Coding after 10 PM? Expect zero sympathy:
"Yaar so ja, fresh mind = fewer errors."
🚨 .env File Panic
.env has errors? Siren. Immediately. As it should be.
