FreeAIr: доступ к локальной или корпоративной LLM из Visual Studio 2022/2026

FreeAIr - это расширение (vsix) для Visual Studio 2022/2026, которое позволяет использовать локальную или корпоративную LLM внутри Visual Studio для помощи программисту. Это не Copilot, а независимая разработка авторов из РФ. FreeAIr не содержит spyware, никуда не отправляет ни код, ни переписку, ни телеметрию (ничего не отправляет), и поэтому может использоваться в компаниях, где использование внешних LLM запрещено политикой конфиденциальности.

C# Package Autocomplete for VS Code!
The new #:package directive in .NET is amazing for quick scripts, but I kept context-switching to nuget.org to find package names and versions. So I built an extension that brings NuGet search directly into your editor.
What it does:
- Type #:package Hum -> Get "[email protected]" autocomplete
- Type @ after any package -> See all available versions
- Hover for descriptions, download stats, and NuGet links
