Here’s another potential use-case for Joyride: automatically reload and scroll a log file, similar to tail -F. Currently, one must use an extension (like https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=foxx1337.autoscrolldown or https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=pejmannikram.vscode-auto-scroll) to accomplish that.

Extension authors might be a good first target audience outside the Clojure community. I noticed how scripting Paste Replaced to do new things turned into prototyping and have implemented those features in the extension now. It was quite significant how much more boiler plate was involved compared to doing it with Joyride. Granted, I am a Clojure coder, so might not be representative. But anyway, if we can demo this aspect of it somehow, maybe... Related discussion idea: https://github.com/BetterThanTomorrow/joyride/discussions/14

I happen to be a bit embedded in the VS Code extension authors community as well, so I will try design a message. I actually got some interest when I posted the video I've created, which was entirely targeted at Clojurians.

A name suggestion for the managed generated extension: joyride-sidecar
