This is a spiritual adaptation of oil.nvim for vscode. The main idea is you edit the filesystem by editing the current directory listing's text buffer. For example, if I want to rename a file, I just rename it in the listing file. This is extremely powerful because it translates all of your text-editing skills immediately into file editing capabilities. Some features: * Create/rename/move/delete files by editing the current directory listing's textbuffer * Filter using glob pattern * Trash and undo support * Works even in remote-ssh workspaces * Works across multiple vscode…

Right now, it's still in the MVP stage, and I'm trying to gather feedback from developers like you. It's available as a beta in the VS Code Extension store. Can you guys check this out? It'd help me a lot. You don't need to pay any penny, 100% FREE. However, I'm working on introducing a self-hosted feature. Besides, a…

Hi HN community, A few friends of mine and I built Tym – a small VS Code extension that makes it easy to share code snippets and get feedback from your teammates. With Tym, you can select a snippet of code and add a question or terminal dump right from the right-click menu. Your teammates can then easily browse your code in a web-based version of VSCode, even if you have uncommitted changes (we make a commit to a hidden git reference in your repo). We made Tym so we don’t have to go to Github and find lines every time we want to share a piece of code. With Tym, you can stay in VS Code and…
