HotRulez has officially passed 1,000 downloads on the JetBrains Marketplace. 🎉 I originally built it for a very simple reason: I wanted proper tooling for Firebase Security Rules in my IDE, but every option I found was paid. So I built my own — and released it free and open source under the MIT license. HotRulez adds proper .rules file support to JetBrains IDEs, including Android Studio and IntelliJ IDEA. Some of the features include: 🔥 Syntax highlighting 🧹 Formatting 🔎 Structural diagnostics 🧭 Symbol resolution and navigation 📚 Quick documentation 🧱 Structure view and code folding 💡 Quick fixes and member inspections Roughly two months after its first Marketplace release, the download counter crossed 1,000. That's obviously a small number compared with huge developer tools, but for a niche plugin I originally created because I personally wanted it to exist, it means a lot. More importantly, downloads continued growing after the initial launch traffic disappeared. That tells me something I find much more interesting than the number itself: Other developers had the same problem. I wrote more about the milestone, what HotRulez supports today, and what I've learned from seeing people actually use it: 👉 HotRulez crossed 1,000 downloads — and I'm pretty proud of that HotRulez is open source, and feedback and contributions are always welcome.
