I built HN Status Bar, a small VS Code extension that shows Hacker News stories in the status bar while coding.

What it does:

- Shows one HN story at a time - Rotates automatically (default 20s) - Refreshes from the HN API - Click current story to open it - Configurable settings (timing, item count, score visibility)

Feedback welcome.
