Bootstrapped my dev tool to 100 users!

Feelin' kind of proud y'all, just hit a 100-user milestone with the dev tool I’ve built. It’s a plugin for VS code, makes refactoring a breeze. Still lots to do but... it's a start, eh?

That sounds super useful! I work with VS Code daily and refactoring is always a pain point. Can you share some of its features or maybe a GitHub repo? Keep pushing forward! Dev tools can be thankless work but when they hit right, they hit big.

100 users and still not bought out by a big corp? Man, what are you doing wrong? 😂 Just kidding – sorta. But for real, monetizing yet or just a hobby project that's eating up your nights and weekends?

100 users is nothing to sneeze at, but don't get comfy. What's your plan for maintenance? If your tool breaks with the next VS Code update and you ain't ready, those users will drop off faster than you can say 'segmentation fault'. Stay on your toes.

Proud moment indeed! But does it pass the rubber duck test? If you can explain it to a rubber duck and it still sounds awesome, then you're onto something real, my friend. Keep it up and don't forget to enjoy the little successes!

It's a start for sure, but the real challenge begins now. Have you thought about a roadmap or how you're gonna handle user feedback and feature requests? Or what about marketing? Word of mouth will only get you so far. And yeah, is there documentation? A solid readme goes a long way.

omg congrats!! 😄 Just started learning about VS Code plugins in my dev bootcamp! What's your plugin called? Wanna see if it'll help me get better at coding faster!

100 users huh? How'd you verify they're actively using it and not just installs that got abandoned? Also, what languages does it support for refactoring? I've seen so many plugins promise a lot but fall short on real complex codebases. No offense, just tired of half-baked tools.

Hey, that's great progress! Getting to 100 users with a dev tool is no small feat, especially if it's for something as widely used as VS Code. Can you drop a link or share more info about the plugin? Would love to try it out and see how it stacks against other refactoring tools I've used.
