Inspiration
Common problems like eye-strain, back-pain and dehydration impacts our life on a daily basis. In a longer run, it negatively affects your health. There’s little to no awareness among budding developers regarding the importance of health and the negative effects of our coding lifestyles.
It’s a problem we’ve personally faced and realized. So we decided to tackle this problem.
What it does
The solution integrates directly into code editors (only VS Code for now). we’ve built a dead simple vs code extension that intelligently reminds you to take regular breaks, correct your posture and drink water to stay hydrated.
How we built it
We used Javascript and vs code extension API to build this.
Challenges we ran into
This is the first time we've build a vs code extension. It was pretty fun.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We've built a working demo of the solution in a matter of hours, and the best thing is we can start using it in our development workflow right away.
What we learned
We learned how to build a vs code extension. And how little things like eye strain impacts our everyday life.
What's next for Healthy Dev
The solution has a lot of future scope.
- Tracking user patterns to learn the user's coding stamina and productivity
- suggesting breaks according to user's coding patterns
- Better reminders
