Reviving Docker Runner VSCode Extension
Seven years ago I have created Docker Runner extension, and I have to admit at some point I have entirely forgotten about it. I realised a few months ago that it’s still hanging in the Visual Studio Code Marketplace with around 70k downloads.
Unfortunately I had also realised that I can’t access my old account that was used to create the extension. DevOps organisation associated with the extension was attached to my old Microsoft account. I have reached to VSCode Marketplace support and they were very helpful and enabled me to access it again.
I also occured to me that old extension didn’t work at all. Menu items were available, but, they didn’t work. And it still gets around 1000 downloads per month…
So, considering the demand I decided to resurrect the extension in completely new form, and start something much better than the legacy version…
It’s not perfect yet, but I will be adding new features very soon!
