Publish extension to open-vsx.org

[qwertychouskie]

Hi!

I'm a VS Codium user, a FLOSS version of VS Code, it's the same code but without the Microsoft's telemetry and branding.

I want to request if possible to add the PlatformIO IDE extension on the open-vsx.org market so that we don't need to use with the Microsoft marketplace, as it is unclear if it's legal to use it on VS Code forks, see microsoft/vscode#31168.

This is how to publish a new extension.

Thanks!

(A temporary workaround is to manually download the extension from https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=MarlinFirmware.auto-build)

Thanks. I will look at this for the next update. Pretty busy with the next Marlin release lately.

Awesome! Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.

I should also note that the PlatformIO extension has not yet been published to open-vsx. I still think it's beneficial to add AutoBuildMarlin to open-vsx though, as it's one fewer extension people like me have to manually download. You might want to put a note in the description on open-vsx though.

I would also be happy if it was available in VSCodium!

I should also note that the PlatformIO extension platformio/platformio-vscode-ide#1802

This is due to using Microsoft extensions / products outside of VSCode which goes against Microsoft’s terms of service/license.

Let me preface that I was also on the VSCodium train until I ended up having to deal with tons of missing extensions & potential license/terms of service violations.

Since Marlin relies heavily on PlatformIO, publishing ABM to vsx.org would be premature until the full plugin/extensions/tool chains can be published over there.
