Let your editor cheer you on while you code!

Code editors can often be a source of negativity — undefined this, unsupported that, expected x to be of type y — all those red lines get tiring after a while. And you can't always rely on your coworkers (if you have any) for moral support in the moment, since they also have jobs to do. How is a programmer supposed to stay positive?

The solution: Cheer!

Cheer displays a random positive message in the status bar whenever you save a file. That's it. That's all it does — give it a try, and feel better about your day and your work!

Inspired by an Atom extension I used many years ago, but never managed to track down again.

I'd love any contributions to Cheer, especially new messages to display! If you find any bugs or have any suggestions, either open an issue, or open a PR with the messages added to messages.js.

All messages are parsed and validated by Alex so we can keep Cheer as inclusive as possible.

Nothing so far! I'd love if you found some.
