24 alternatives to A VSCode extension that farts as you type
With April Fools' Day coming up, I thought I'd share my VSCode extension again: Whoopee cushion keyboard. When installed, it makes fart noises as you type. And with the new version I just released, you can now enable this per language (command palette: "This is a smelly business"). So if a coworker who doesn't like CSS happens to leave their desk without locking their screen, who knows what might happen...

Recently, I saw Github Next Code Brushes (https://githubnext.com/projects/code-brushes) which is a VSCode extension that can use AI to do things like make your code more readable, add types, etc. This inspired me: what if there was an extension that could use AI to make your code worse as well? Meet Spaghettify. An extension I developed that can do things like: - Obscure your code - Introduce a bug - Make the variable names way too descriptive - Use nonsymmetrical whitespace - Add irrelevant/rambling comments - Document the code with emoji - Document the code in any…

Hi HN, Simple online tools on the web have become unnecessary greedy. For example, * https://jsonformatter.org/ displays 7 ads on page load * https://convertcase.net/ had 4 ads plus a Google Vignette. And many more sites do the same thing. It's just noisy, which is why I created this VS Code Extension where you don't need to even leave your editor for your small web operations. I also built a Desktop app and an online version, which can be reached or downloaded at smallonlinetools.net. Both of which will be ad-free forever. So far smallonlinetools.net has over…

Hey HN, I built a small experimental writing tool called nowrite.fun. The concept is brutally simple: You set a timer (e.g. 5 minutes), start writing — and if you stop typing, your text vanishes. No drafts, no recovery, no forgiveness. Inspired by apps like Write or Die, but rebuilt from scratch with a lightweight stack: Deno + TypeScript, XState, anime.js, and canvas-confetti. Hosted on Deno Deploy. It’s a tool for short, focused writing sprints — a tweet, a blog paragraph, a newsletter blurb. Keep typing → you win. Hesitate → it’s gone. It’s minimal, a bit stressful, and surprisingly…
