🔧 Troubleshooting
Extension Not Showing in Forked Editors
If you're using a forked VSCode editor like Cursor or Google Antigravity, VS Lounge may not appear in the extension search results.
To fix this, you need to configure the Marketplace Service URL in your editor settings:
Open Settings (Ctrl+, or Cmd+,)
Search for "Marketplace Service URL" in the settings search bar
After configuring the Marketplace Service URL and restarting your IDE, extensions published on the VSCode Marketplace will appear in your search results, including VS Lounge.
