      Thank you so much Scott!
      Thank you for adding your list and thank you for sharing on Hacker News!

      I didn't expect that at all, it was only a partial list. An update will come with more extensions 😉

      Wow! 50 upvotes on HM! My blog traffic has spiked! Thank you again!

        You're welcome. What do you typically blog about?

        What are you working on at the moment?

        1. 1

          I'm mostly talking about web development using React, Next.js, TypeScript and Tailwind CSS.

          My main project now is https://nextlessjs.com, a Next.js SaaS Boilerplate to help developers to launch their SaaS product.

          Thank you for asking. How about?

            Oh cool I was just looking for a Nextjs template for our homepage. I ended up going with https://github.com/Blazity/next-saas-starter.

            I'm making a website builder for authors at https://www.wildinkpages.com/. We just put that homepage up last weekend using that template.

              Hi Scott, is it a channel I can use to contact you? Thanks in advance

              Congratulation on your homepage release! It's always something to launch a new product/website.

              You have totally made the right choice to choose using a starter by saving time and focusing more the copy.

              By the way, for your next project, I have also built an open source Next JS template https://github.com/ixartz/Next-JS-Landing-Page-Starter-Template. Perfect to build a homepage in Next.js and Tailwind CSS.

              Then, when you are ready to go further by building the "behind the scene" part:

              • Authentication
              • Subscription payment
              • User dashboard
              • Form & error management
              • Deployment
              • Database
              • etc.

              My Next.js SaaS Boilerplate is a possible solution to earn your first MRR ;)

    I was just thinking of sharing another list I found.

    For those doing node monorepos in 2022, the extensions that I think you must use are:

    1. Github copilot - like autocomplete on steroids.
    2. peacock - change the workspace color - helps reduce mental load when working on different projects.
    3. tag autorename - this should be built into vscode, saves a bunch of keystrokes
    4. snippets - this is a category of extension. find whichever snippet lib is out there for your stack.
