Author here - thanks for the mention! Re publicizing: I can never get any attention for my projects, no matter where I post them. Sites like this one (where I tried posting the project multiple times) feel very gamed to me at this point.

Sorry! I didn't mean to imply you had done a bad job publicizing it, I know marketing this kind of stuff is a whole separate job. I'm honestly just surprised the project hasn't gotten more attention organically since it's awesome. Your extension is at least as good as the OP here, if not better now that I've had time to try them both out. I tried probably a dozen half baked VS Code GPT integrations and yours is by far the most polished and usable. Way, way too good to only have 17k downloads on the marketplace. I've been recommending it to my coworkers and friends non-stop.

My one suggestion: I hate to say it but the name RubberDuck and the icon you've used kind of undersell the seriousness of the project. I think the whole "hacker" branding thing is kind of lame but it could be worth some tweaks to make it seem more "cool" :/. Also your website seems to be down!

Oh yeah, never thought that - was just frustrated at the lack of success in my marketing efforts.

Thanks for the feedback, good points!

I'm trying your extension. I have held the same suspicions for over a decade. Practically given up on trying to get notice for my projects, the situation feels so random and/or pay to play.
