See what your friends are coding, right in your editor!
Code Pals brings a social dimension to your development workflow, inspired by Spotify's friend activity sidebar. Track your coding habits and see what your developer friends are working on in real-time.
This extension works in conjunction with the Code Pals platform.
Features
Automatic Activity Tracking: Monitors time spent coding, languages used, and files/projects you're working on.
Real-Time Friend Activity Sidebar: See what your mutual friends are currently coding:
Active file or project
Programming language in use
Time spent coding today/this week
Privacy First: Your coding activity is only shared with users you've mutually accepted as friends. You control who sees your activity.
(Coming Soon!) Social & Gamified Elements: Look forward to features like leaderboards, coding streaks, and badges to make coding even more engaging.
