I recently discovered the Open VSX Registry (the open-source extension marketplace used by editors like Cursor), and I wanted to share something that might help fellow developers living with Type 1 diabetes.

I’ve now registered all three of my glucose monitoring extensions there:

• Dexcom CGM Status Bar – for Dexcom users
• LibreLinkUp Status Bar – for FreeStyle Libre / LibreLinkUp users
• Nightscout Status Bar – for Nightscout users

If you’re using Cursor IDE, you can now install them directly from Open VSX and monitor your glucose levels right in your status bar while coding.

As a T1D developer myself, I built these because context switching (phone → CGM app → back to IDE) was breaking my flow. If you are or know any software engineers living with diabetes, this tool might be helpful with diabetes management.

This is completely free and open source.

Spent the past weekend in remote snowy wilderness. No electricity. No cellphone. No wi-fi. Small tree-house cabin with a wood stove for heat. First time cross-country skiing. Handwarmers were essential. Great weekend before the start of the new year work week.

I’m thrilled to be starting a new full-time role at Cohere! Excited to learn, build, and collaborate with a great team. I’m looking forward to what’s ahead!

I’ve been slowly learning French for a while. Here’s my progress in Duolingo during 2025.
