What a VS Code verified publisher badge means, compared with Open VSX →
An extension for Visual Studio Code that lets you easily update/remove/install packages from NuGet server for .NET Core 1.1+/.Net5+ projects
Daily readings on both stores, taken by us. As of 24 Sept 2026.
Each bar is one day’s change in the store’s own counter. Open VSX counts a download on every update, so a day includes updates by people who already had it. Days before 5 Sept are reconstructed from public archives rather than read by us.
Positions observed daily on both stores. Neither store publishes this, and the two run separate search engines over separate catalogues.
