IDEs are competitive social networks 
Introducing the "Lock In" feature for vCode

You spend like X to XX hours per day in your IDE and you feel like you're fully locked in - but are you?

With Lock In you'll feel the presence of the others in your coding session:

(planned features):
- see how many users are locked in right now
- track the total time of your lock in per session / day / week / month

This will take some time to be an actually usable feature as i'm currently building the APIs for it (ik, very boring stuff) but most of the client side is already on the main branch on github. I will start spinning up the first server sometime this week so you can sign up and  post on the timeline on your home screen
