What a VS Code verified publisher badge means, compared with Open VSX →
Flags the ADA Title II and HHS Section 504 deadlines that both agencies reset in 2026, and the WCAG 2.1 Level AA failures your source code can actually show.
Daily readings on both stores, taken by us. As of 25 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.
Positions observed daily on both stores. Neither store publishes this, and the two run separate search engines over separate catalogues.
