Can @roderik remove this? They should be using Open VSX

ENV SERVICE_URL https://extensions.coder.com/api
ENV ITEM_URL ''

bpmct commented 2 years ago

Once installed, the extension is not a browser extension, thus unusable.

A current workaround is to install via extensions via the UI instead of CLI

Bumping this, it is still a valid issue

For me, it works, but it is obviously slower than if it was a web extension. It is an usptream issue but maybe worth patching...could be pretty complicated though.
