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 from the VS Code marketplace and it shows up directly in your Explorer sidebar, the panel you already have open all day anyway
- You earn money passively while writing code, no extra tabs, no separate apps, just small text ads sitting quietly in your sidebar
- The ads are text-only and styled to fit the editor environment, so they don't break your focus or make your IDE feel like a cheap website
- Highpay Ads works across VS Code, Cursor, and Windsurf, so you keep earning no matter which of these editors you switch to
- Since developers spend several hours a day inside their IDE, the extension turns that existing screen time into a small but steady income stream without changing how you work
