Fixed a critical bug in the Water Buddy VS Code extension that prevented the hydration timer from resetting after snoozing.
I contributed to an open-source Visual Studio Code extension called Water Buddy, which reminds developers to stay hydrated while working.
The issue I resolved involved the hydration reminder timer not resetting properly after a user snoozed a reminder.
I debugged the timer logic, identified the missing state reset condition, and implemented a fix that ensured proper timer functionality after snoozing.
My pull request was successfully merged into the main repository in February 2025, improving the reliability and user experience of the extension.
Impact
Improved the stability of a popular developer wellness tool and gained practical experience in debugging and contributing to open-source VS Code extensions.
