Hi @xabur ,
Thanks for sharing the additional information! I've been meaning to research this more in depth, but just ran out of time.
I can't quite seem to figure out what Open VSX is exactly. So far as I can tell, it's like an alternative the Visual Studio Gallery. Meaning, you plug in https://open-vsx.org/ in VS Code, and then all the requests go through their service instead of the official gallery?
If that's the case, what's the use case? They appear to have all the same extensions, so this just feels like one of those "GooglePlay store alternatives" on Android... except there's no account/registration/etc required with the Visual Studio Gallery. Right?
Open VSX clearly seems to be popular, I just don't understand why.
In any case, if a well-supported project "reverse engineered" the official gallery and then made an alternative, that kinda paves the path for us. We don't want to be the first or only game in town, when it comes to supporting feed types.
Thanks,
Alex
