Adding commerical products to the list
lannonbr opened this issue · comments
There may be paid VS Code extensions or content that could be beneficial to list here. Currently there is no direct notice in the contributing guide that submissions should only be publicly available / free resources, so I think at least it would be good to update the guide with our stance on it.
I do think pushing free resources first should be a priority, but if there is a paid resource that could bring benefits to the greater VS Code community by putting it in the list, it could at least be discussed if it should be added between the repo maintainers and if accepted be extremely blatant in the list that it is a commercial resource.
What does everyone else think about this?
Hi @lannonbr,
I agree with you - we don't have any direct rule about commercial products.
However, awesome lists are for awesome stuff, and for something commercial it's tough to understand the quality.
We've rushed addition a bit + we didn't include the commercial badge, and that's why I pulled it.
My suggestion:
- We should always include a "commercial/paid" badge
- We should go the extra mile to get a social proof and/or review the product yourself (as we do for free extensions)
