Maybe you've created your own AR program for wearables that shows the definition of a word when you highlight it IRL, or you've built a personal calendar app for your family to display on a monitor in the kitchen. Whatever it is, I'd love to hear it.

I have built VS Utils [1] mostly for myself since I work with WordPress and they use serialize(), unserialize() functions a lot, and sometimes I need to convert base64, timestamps value without leaving the editor. I find it's easier to write an extension for daily use functions and publish to VS Code so I can download it easier, sync across devices. Hope it helpful for others too.
