I made a VS Code Extension to track coding time with beautiful charts and heatmaps

Hey fellow developers! 👋

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!

What it does:

1. Tracks your active coding time automatically
2. Shows beautiful, interactive charts of your coding patterns
3. Generates GitHub-style heatmaps of your activity
4. Works seamlessly with both light and dark VS Code themes
5. Zero configuration needed - just install and code!

Key Features:

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

🗺️ Activity Heatmap
Visual representation of your coding patterns
Quickly identify your most productive days
Similar to GitHub's contribution graph

📈 Real-time Stats

Weekly summary
Monthly overview
All-time statistics

🎨 Theme Compatibility

Non-intrusive design

*Why I made this: *
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!

Installation:

1. Open VS Code
2. Go to Extensions (Ctrl+Shift+X)
