Do you ever just wake up in the morning, open up VS Code, and think to yourself "Wow I wonder what other coders are doing around the world, what are they coding on?".
That's how Ben Awad starts his <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApR-kNXxLUs">video</a> where he introduces VS Code stories, an extension for <a href="/blog/top-10-keyboard-shortcuts-for-visual-studio-code/">Visual Studio Code</a> which adds stories to VS Code.
<img src="./images/vs-code-stories-screenshot-1024x576.png" alt="vs code stories">
He literally created an extension for VS Code that you can use to view Instagram like stories and upload your own ones for others to see. I think this was just hilarious and at the same time super awesome!
If you haven't already, be sure to check out the extension and his <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApR-kNXxLUs">video</a> introducing the extension, it is hilarious! All the code for the extension is <a href="https://github.com/benawad/vscode-stories">open source</a>.
That's all for now, I just wanted to share this with you guys because I think this was super funny and worth showcasing extension.
Comment below what do you think about the stories for VS Code?

Have you ever thought to yourself "It would be awesome to have Instagram like stories in VS Code". Wonder no more, it is now a reality!

VS Code Stories - New Extension

Visual Studio Code is one of the most popular code editors for writing Typescript and Javascript. I use VS Code for all my Typescript and Javascript projects.

If you are like me, using VS Code for writing Typescript / Javascript, you know that sometimes quick prototyping or testing is needed. For this kind of situations I use this extension called Quokka.js.

After installing the extension you can launch a new Typescript / Javascript file with live code execution and results, value explorer, live code coverage and much more. Or if you want to check your existing code, you can also start the extension for an existing file.
I made a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnTy4IIa2hE">video</a> introducing the extension more throughly so go watch that if you want to learn more! Or if you just want to give it a try, you can install the extension from here: <a href="https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=WallabyJs.quokka-vscode">https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=WallabyJs.quokka-vscode</a>.

First of all, Happy New Year!
I have been blogging for about three years now. Back in 2018 when I first started, I created a Wordpress blog and gave it a name CodePulse.blog. This blog has also served as my personal website but the main focus has been on the blog though.
<img src="./images/codepulse-frontpage.png" alt="CodePulse blog">
Now, three years later, I decided that I want to update the blog and website. In the process I decided to move the blog under my own name. So from now on you find my blog and website from <a href="https://www.tuomokankaanpaa.com">tuomokankaanpaa.com</a>.
<img src="./images/tuomokankaanpaa-com-frontpage.png" alt="New tuomokankaanpaa.com website">
I have coded the new website on my own using JAMstack and I no longer use Wordpress. I had such a good time working on this new website and I learned a bunch of new stuff along the way. I will be writing more detailed explanation of the process, so <a href="/newsletter">go and subscribe</a> to my email newsletter so you don't miss those posts.
That's all for now. I am excited of this upcoming year and I have lots of stuff planned, so stay tuned!
