## What it is
A VSCode extension that lets developers share code snippets as ephemeral 'stories', similar to Instagram stories, viewable through a panel in the editor. Users can peek at snippets other developers are working on and publish their own via a companion API.

## Use cases
- share code snippets with other developers from vscode
- peek at what code other developers are working on
- publish a story of my current code from the editor
- browse community code snippets inside vscode
- social code sharing extension for visual studio code

## When to choose
- you want a fun, social way to share code snippets directly within VSCode
- you want to discover what snippets other developers are publishing

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained tooling - the last release was April 2021
- you need private or team-scoped snippet sharing rather than public stories
- you use an editor other than VSCode

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: abandoned
- function: developer-tools, gui
- domain: developer-tools, social-media
- platform: editor-plugin, cross-platform
- tags: vscode-extension, code-sharing, stories, social-coding
