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...

A VSCode extension that farts as you type launched on March 31, 2022 with 7 votes, #1,239 of 3,153 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 4 years on.

What it does

Extension for Visual Studio Code - High-brow humour: a fart on every key-press. For your — or your coworker's — enjoyment.

Did you ever get that feeling like you're an imposter, programming and earning a living like a real adult would do, but fully expecting at any moment to be found out? Well, stop hiding! Let it be known that, while you may look like a fully-grown adult, behind that mask hides an inner five-year-old that barely knows how to make sense of the world. I bring you: Whoopee cushion keyboard! Farts on every keypress! In case you want to pretend to be a normal adult again, you can disable Whoopee cushion keyboard in the settings, or through the Command Palette: search for Hold them in . Once you're ready to expose your True You again, search the Command Palette for Let itfrom marketplace.visualstudio.com

    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! I made many small web games in the past with Unity or Phaser. But this time I wanted to make something completely on my own. So I coded a basic game framework in plain JavaScript, and used it to make Almost Pong. This was a really fun project that taught me a lot about JavaScript, and I plan to make more minimalist games with this framework. Interesting fact: Almost Pong doesn't load any assets, all sprites and sounds are generated with code. Happy to answer questions, and please let me know if you have any feedback on the game. Thanks!
