History

History of vscode-icons

As you all know, VSCode currently supports File and Folder icons but this was not like this from the beginning. Read this great article by @chrisdias: "Rebellion. Mutiny. Revolt. Uprising." if you want to learn the history about this plugin and how finally icons landed in VSCode.

During the summer of 2016, I had great support from the community and the VSCode team. It's also worth mentioning the tremendous help that I received from @aeschli (VSCode Team) and especially from @jens1o (community member), which turned out to be a 14-year-old amazing coder!

Later on, until the present moment, @JimiC entered the scene and I have to say that he's been a real revolution to this project. With his incredible insight, precision and determination, he's improving this extension way beyond it was initially intended.

@KingDarBoja has been the latest addition to the team (2019). He's been doing an amazing work with the icons and he's an splendid icon creator and one of the current maintainers.

I'm very happy to be part of this team, along with @jens1o, @JimiC and @KingDarBoja. It's really a gift to work with you guys. Most of the credits of this extension are theirs. It's also community's. And remember that if you want to be a contributor or even become a regular of our team, you are more than welcome to join! 😄
