What a VS Code verified publisher badge means, compared with Open VSX →
Finds superseded standard editions and repealed laws cited in your .rst/.md docs — ISO 27001:2013, PCI DSS 3.2.1, FIPS 140-2, Privacy Shield, the old SCCs — with the date each one died.
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.
