The last time I made a PR (#16623) I had forgotten to add a screenshot and @pernielsentikaer had made a few changes to it, unfortunately when I tried making changes after a few months to add the screenshot I ran into errors with npm run publish and npx @raycast/api@latest pull-contributions

$ npx @raycast/api@latest pull-contributions

Sorry about that - thats why this is an entirely new PR for the same extension, along with the screenshot.

PR Summary

This PR adds a new extension "geoping" that pings global servers using Tailscale's DERP network to display latency information with visual indicators.

• The README.md is too minimal and should include more details about the extension's functionality, usage instructions, and its reliance on Tailscale's DERP network
• Since this is labeled as a new extension with a view command, it needs a metadata folder with screenshots as per Raycast Documentation
• The ping function in src/ping.tsx should be wrapped in a try-catch block for better error handling
• The List component should use isLoading prop to avoid empty state flicker as per Raycast Documentation
• Consider using showFailureToast from @raycast/utils instead of manual error handling in the catch block of the refresh function

I'm still not able to pull the contributions locally with npx @raycast/api@latest pull-contributions

edit: I managed to get it working by deleting the ~/.config/raycast directory entirely which forced it to re-clone the repo, however it now shows no new contributions even though you have made changes to multiple files.
