If you do a lot of writing like me in markdown files, you often need to count how many words you’ve written and estimate how long it will take to read or speak the words written.
This extension takes care of all of that.
WordCounter
It counts word, characters, lines, paragraphs, and estimates the reading or speaking time. You can customize this in the settings and set the average words per minute calculation.
It’s a must have for writers, speakers, and general content creators.

[#Script #Coding] Clean Up File Tree in VS Code

Clean Up File Tree in VS Code

Clean up your VS Code file explorer by nesting files that aren’t used or edited frequently. You can nest test files, config files, compiled files, and any other things you don’t want to always see in the file tree. Go to settings and enable File Nesting. Now my test files are nested under the main file. This declutters the file tree and groups dependent files. You can customize what gets nested right here in the settings too. I have it nesting the project-lock.json file and even the _app and _document files in this next.js app.
