Thanks for the suggestion. I was thinking about making this into a chrome web extension that people can use on a marketplace page or even using MCP to make this tool really accessible for Cursor and Windsurf users.

As for the raw name, most extensions should work if you just put the display name. The search algorithm directly pulls from the vscode marketplace.

I have 70 extensions installed though. Turns out there is a cli flag to print them, though: "code --list-extensions"

If you update your UI to accept a "bulk analyze" mode where a list of newline extensions could be submitted and rendered out on a page, that would be pretty cool.

Oh yeah that's a really good idea. That would make it much easier for someone to use, though that many extensions would take a while. I would need to build up some more robust architecture before I could implement that.
