hello! im having a question about the VS Code Extension and Thimble Help categories. from my little research, Thimble was discontinued in 2019… well its now 2022. but i get it, some people might have taken a really really long break. but for the vs code extension, it has been deprecated and is no longer usable. so basically, i am asking for the glitch staff to remove the VS Code Extension category. as its not really needed anymore…
thanks.
PS: this is probably going to be my last activity on the forum, as im getting a new laptop strictly for school purposes, it was nice meeting the glitch community and i wish you all the best!
There once was a vscode extension for glitch, now it is no more…Glitch for VS Code Extension - Sunset + Feedback
and thimble was a platform like glitch which migrated it’s data to glitch before shutting down so the help category is for anyone who used thimble before
yes, i stated that, but shouldn’t they be removed now that its been 3 years? if not the Thimble category, then at least the VS Code Extension category.
First off, thanks for flagging this, it’s a great question. Also I don’t agree they should be deleted, it’s history and that’s important to preserve!
For folks that don’t have context about Thimble and the extension:
Mozilla’s Thimble was discontinued and those projects were imported into Glitch as part of the process, so that thread is for former-Thimble users to specifically find each other as they come from a shared user experience background.
The VS Code extension was deprecated but beloved. We don’t have present plans to bring it back but that doesn’t necessarily mean we’ll never see it again.
@nobody I hope you are able to come back again soon, I really appreciated the way that you explored the inner workings of this Discourse and I’ll miss you! All the best to you on your education journey
