Developers spend hours every day inside VS Code, Cursor and Windsurf, and the Explorer sidebar is almost always visible. Highpay Ads lets developers earn from small sponsored text cards displayed in their IDE sidebar. No banners, no popups, just simple text ads that match the editor.
What to expect from an ideal product
- Install the Highpay Ads extension in VS Code, Cursor, or Windsurf and it automatically places small sponsored text cards inside your Explorer sidebar
- The ads are text-only, no images or banners, so they blend in with your editor without breaking your focus or taking up much space
- You pick the categories of ads you want to see, which keeps things relevant and avoids anything that feels completely out of place while you work
- Every time an ad is displayed or clicked, you earn money passively, just by doing what you already do every day inside your IDE
- The whole setup takes a few minutes and once it's running you don't have to touch anything, the ads just sit quietly in the sidebar and do their thing
