Score: 4.5/10 (Innovation: 4, Technical: 5, Documentation: 6, Utility: 3)

Aurora is a Visual Studio Code extension that adds a live, iridescent aurora borealis animation behind the editor using WebGL shaders. It's an interesting aesthetic customization that works by injecting CSS and a canvas into the editor UI, though it relies on an unofficial loading mechanism and offers limited practical utility beyond visual appeal.

Target audience: frontend devs, hobbyist developers
