Consider adding the VS Extension to open-vsx.org

[gwelr]

Curious about your project, I was trying to install the VS extension to VSCodium (https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium), a freely-licensed binaries of VS Code with a community-driven default configuration. Being a vscode based editor, VSCodium gets additional features by installing VS Code extensions. Unfortunately, as Microsoft prohibits usages of the Microsoft marketplace by any other products (microsoft/vscode#31168) or redistribution of .vsix files from it, in order to use VS Code extensions in non-Microsoft products those need to be installed differently.

For the rest of us using VS Code Compatible Editors, would you consider submitting the LO VS Code extension to OpenVSX (https://open-vsx.org)? Open VSX is an open-source registry for VS Code extensions. It can be used by any development environment that supports such extensions.

Thanks!

The process to submit the extension is describe here : https://github.com/eclipse/openvsx/wiki/Publishing-Extensions

Hi @gwelr.

I also use GitPod for work which only has OpenVSX registry so I feel your pain.

Just tried publishing the latest .vsix file to OpenVSX and got this error:

Currently this extension depends on WASM WASI core for running the compiler which isn't (and probably won't be) published to OpenVSX.

I could vendor everything from wasi core and webshell extensions into LO extension but I feel like that would be too much.

I was also experimenting with a build that uses Node's WASI implementation but that one will only work in non-web vscode.

I will try to make a build using Node WASI when I'll get the time but I don't know if I'll be able to support both builds.

Looks like I won't need to support two versions.

Will publish this extension to open-vsx as soon as wasm-wasi-core will be available on open-vsx.

@gwelr the extension is finally available on Open VSX: https://github.com/glebbash/LO/blob/main/README.md#-vscode-extension
