ChatGPT for VS Code deprecated & open-sourced

[gencay]

Hi everyone - with a heavy heart we are announcing decommissioning of this extension. We outlined the reasons in the Readme. We unfortunately lost the fun part of working on such agile project with open-source in mind, free-to-use tool due to potential Terms of Use violations of OpenAI service via one of the features we have built during the first days of the development of this extension. Our intention was to slowly decommission that feature as API gets parity with web version, however we came to learn that in vs-code it's not possible to remove old versions of the app without removing the whole extension.

As an apology to the community who believed in this project from the start, who made it fun working, we are giving the source code as we initially promised when we started this project stripping out the feature -Browser autologin-.

Please feel free to use it however you'd like.

There are many many great extensions on vscode marketplace who offers similar or even better functionality than this extension. We'd recommend you to try them out.

However, we can no longer support developing this feature while being under the pressure of the legal sides of things, since this was always meant to be free-to-use tool for the community.

Thank you all and our apologies to everybody who believed in the future of this extension and to those who downloaded and used our extension thinking it was official - It was never ever our intention to gain popularity with that but instead with features we are working on with the community, which worked really well for the last couple months.

I'm sure someone will create wonders with this or their own ChatGPT implementation in VS Code and it'll be groundbreaking. But the weight of potential legal issues isn't helping us focus on further development of this feature as such a small team who could spare only a couple hours of a month.

I hope you understand our position and thank you again for being part of this amazing journey.

Very sad, I discovered it this morning and I submitted a PR on NixOS project to include your extension... I just closed the PR :( Thank you for your work on this.
