🧩 Dev Logger VSCode Extension

The Dev Logger VSCode Extension logs developer activity from your editor to a self-hosted Dev Logger backend. It helps track file-level events and lines of code in real-time — perfect for personal retrospectives, team productivity, or agile metrics.

Works out-of-the-box with slry/dev-logger as the backend.

🔍 Features

• ✍️ File Activity Tracking
  Log file creation, modification, and deletion events automatically.

• 📊 LOC Metrics
  Track how many lines are added/removed across sessions.

• 🔗 Backend Integration
  Sends data to your own Dev Logger instance

• 🪄 Minimal UI
  Auto-starts in the background — just configure once and let it run.

⚙️ Configuration

After installing the extension, open VSCode settings and look for:

Dev Logger › Api Url: [http://localhost:3000/api/send](http://localhost:3000/api/send)
Dev Logger › Api Token: your-api-token

These correspond to the values you configure in your self-hosted Dev Logger dashboard (/settings page).
