🚀 **Introducing LibTracker: Simplifying Dependency Management in VSCode!** 🚀

We’re excited to announce the latest updates to **LibTracker**, our streamlined SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) tool designed to make dependency management effortless. LibTracker now supports popular frameworks along with their Gradle, Kotlin Gradle, npm, pip, and venv equivalents for Java, Node.js, and Python applications.

With this release, we’ve enhanced dependency tracking by incorporating the package manager as an additional field when adding apps to projects. We’ve also developed a parser for **Gemfile** files, which we aim to extend for iOS **Podfiles**. This will contribute to a broader npm library for parsing Ruby dependency files.

**Now Available on the VSCode Marketplace*

### Next on Our Roadmap:
1. **App Dependency Page**
- View licenses
- View security vulnerabilities
- CRUD for dependencies
- (Possibly) identify unused packages

2. **Support for Code Workspaces**
- Open entire projects as workspaces
- Edit code-workspace files to include additional folders as needed

LibTracker Simplify dependency management with this simple SBOM Tool

We've been making solid progress on **LibTracker**, our lightweight SBOM tool designed to simplify dependency management. Recent updates include:

🔹 **Current Progress**
- Completed CRUD functionality for projects and apps
- Enabled opening apps directly in the terminal or VS Code
- Added support for Flutter on Android, iOS, and macOS

🔍 **Learned So Far**
- WebView panels don't support `alert`, `confirm`, or `modals`
- Panel development resembles a client-server model, where the WebView panel acts as the client, and extension API lives on the "server"
- Vanilla JS has proven useful for TDD
- Leveraged npm libraries to parse Gradle files for Android support

🎯 **Next Steps**
- Obtain framework and programming language metadata for all apps listed in the popular section
- Develop an app dependency page to:
- View licenses
- Display security vulnerabilities
- Enable CRUD on dependencies
- (Possibly) Identify unused packages—challenging but potentially achievable with executables
