In addition to the collection runner limits that has everyone fleeing from, there was also this announcement posted here: [Announcing Postman 2023 product and versioning updates…and VS Code extension! | Postman Blog](https://blog.postman.com/postman-2023-product-and-versioning-updatesand-vs-code-extension/)

"Upcoming VS Code extension

We have seen the rise of VS Code as the most popular online editor for web developers. To help these developers be closer to their workflows, we will be releasing a VS Code extension later this year! You can see a preview in action below. To join the waitlist for Postman’s VS Code extension, please click here."

I’ve joined the waitlist, and I haven’t heard anything about this extension. I have given my email address expecting to hear something, but I haven’t. Can someone at Postman please reveal what this extension will do? Will it replace the current editor in the Postman UI? Will it allow users to run requests in a collection? Will it impose the same collection runner limits as the Postman UI? What is this extension, and should I get my hopes up or start packing?

If this link to the postman road map is current it doesn’t look like there is much going on for the VS Code extension at all.

Here is a link to the github discussion

> \*\*Problem\*\*
> The postman application for windows is great with lots of features but while developing an API on VS code we have to switch to the postman app to create requests and test the API. 
> 
> \*\*Solution\*\*
> A simple vs code extension that we can use to create and make requests to any API we are working on. This will help simplify the workflow and speed up API testing for simple requests.

> \*\*Current alternatives\*\*
> I have tried to use different vs code extensions(for example thunder client) in the past but none have the simplicity and reliability of postman in terms of UI and performance.

Again, it would be best to hear from someone at Postman for an update

This is a feature announced in the [Announcing Postman 2023 product and versioning updates…and VS Code extension! | Postman Blog](https://blog.postman.com/postman-2023-product-and-versioning-updatesand-vs-code-extension/). I have not received any correspondence regarding this even though I signed up, and I see no related plans on postman’s public roadmap. My confidence that Postman will follow through on this is waning. Looking to hear anything from Postman on this one.
