Is there any way to browse devRant in the office like an extension or something else rather than jsrant or xmlrant?

    Your post motivated me to look into VS Code Extension development for the first time, which is simple af tbh. I used the rantscript nodejs library for Access to devrant. Made a few VS Code commands for Login, showing the most recent rant as info Pop-up in the bottom right and created a webview with a very rudimentary UI that lists the recent rants.

    Now I'm at that Point where I achieved my Goal of implementing a VS Code extension with a proper Idea in mind and anything more would be mostly busy work and figuring out how to best access devrant from VS Code context. Since I'm Not interested in finishing a whole devrant Extension for VS Code all by myself I will post my code to github by tomorrow. If anyone wants to iterate on it, feel free to make some PRs

    @don-rager I found a reddit extension for VS Code called "Reddit-Viewer" that displays reddit posts and subreddits formatted as code. That could be a fun idea for folks who want to hide that they're browsing devrant.
