I wanted to try out vibe coding properly for the first time, and this was made in a few hours. Despite all of my reservations about the AI, I admit that this was.. fun. Relaxing, for a change. Why did I write this part here at all, you might ask? Well.. no reason in particular, I just felt like it. The same reason the extention is called "Barry".
If someone finds this extention of help to them, then I consider this time well spent.
