What a VS Code verified publisher badge means, compared with Open VSX →
Lives in VS Code chat, estimates tokens, enforces a token budget, and highlights token-economics mistakes as you chat with AI.
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. 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.
