      <description>&lt;p&gt;Hey fellow developers! 👋&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I wanted to share a VS Code extension I've been working on that helps track your coding time with some nice visualizations. It's completely free and open source!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What it does:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Tracks your active coding time automatically&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Shows beautiful, interactive charts of your coding patterns&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Generates GitHub-style heatmaps of your activity&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Works seamlessly with both light and dark VS Code themes&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Zero configuration needed - just install and code!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Key Features:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;📊 Project-wise Time Tracking&lt;br&gt;
See exactly how much time you spend on each project&lt;br&gt;
Break down time by day/week/month&lt;br&gt;
Perfect for freelancers tracking billable hours&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;🗺️ Activity Heatmap&lt;br&gt;
Visual representation of your coding patterns&lt;br&gt;
Quickly identify your most productive days&lt;br&gt;
Similar to GitHub's contribution graph&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;📈 Real-time Stats&lt;br&gt;
Today's coding time&lt;br&gt;
Weekly summary&lt;br&gt;
Monthly overview&lt;br&gt;
All-time statistics&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;🎨 Theme Compatibility&lt;br&gt;
Automatically matches your VS Code theme&lt;br&gt;
Clean, modern UI&lt;br&gt;
Non-intrusive design&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;*&lt;em&gt;Why I made this: *&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;
I needed a simple way to track my coding time across different projects without switching between apps or manually logging hours. I thought others might find it useful, too!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Installation:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Open VS Code&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Go to Extensions (Ctrl+Shift+X)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Search for "Simple Coding Time Tracker"&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Click Install&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Links:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=noorashuvo.simple-coding-time-tracker#:~:text=Simple%20Coding%20Time%20Tracker%20is,and%20analyze%20your%20coding%20time" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Visual Studio Extension&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://github.com/twentyTwo/vsc-ext-coding-time-tracker" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Github&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
