View analytics and trends for your tracked VS Code extensions directly inside VS Code.
This extension provides a dashboard inside VS Code that displays the same analytics data available on the VS Code Extension Analytics web dashboard — install counts, ratings, velocity, projections, and more — right in your editor.
Features
- Dashboard View: See all tracked extensions with sparklines, velocity badges, and momentum scores.
- Extension Detail: Dive into per-extension charts — installs over time, ratings, velocity, acceleration, projections, and release correlations.
- Real-time Data: Pulls data from the latest GitHub Pages deployment of your analytics dataset.
- Familiar Interface: Same underlying data and metrics as the web dashboard, redesigned for the VS Code sidebar.
Usage
- After installation, open the Extension Analytics view in the Explorer sidebar.
- The dashboard will load automatically with data from the analytics repository.
- Use the Refresh Analytics Data command from the Command Palette (
Ctrl+Shift+P) to reload data.
