Is Microsoft ever going to implement proper VS Code plugin sandboxing? There are so many good extensions I would like to use, but I hate the security implications of loading yet more unvetted code for a nice-to-have.
Then again, I see that the top buzz in the industry is about Claws and letting LLMs run loose with only a handshake agreement to be safe, and I already know the answer.

This is really neat - i especially like the heatmap, makes it very easy to immediately figure out what is actively being worked on, even in the regular file explorer view
that said, I'm not sure i plan on using it long term - as someone else pointed out, the lack of extension sandboxing does make me feel a bit uncomfortable for extensions like this that aren't backed by large entities.

Love this idea. Working with AI assistants, I find it easier to push to GitHub to look at the changes, rather than use my IDE. I wish that wasn’t the case, so this makes a ton of sense.

File explorer with a twist - instead of 5000 files of which you need to see 20, shows pending changes + files modified within a time window (pending, 3 days, 7 days, 30 days, etc.) pulled from Git history. This way you don't get lost browsing everything or lose track of your work immediately after a commit.
Beyond the core concept, there's also
- A heatmap that colors files based on recency
- Deleted files appear in the tree where they used to be
- A pinned section for files that are not recent but handy
- File history, diff search (pickaxe) and git log -L line/function history available from editor context menu
- File grouping based on the moon phase during the most recent commit (good luck finding alternative software for this)

Looks very cool, starred on github and downloaded extension :)

looks pretty cool! Ive definitely been wanting some improvement in file discovery and exploration

This is a great idea! I will give it a try!

Is there something like this integrated with Ctrl P vim?
