Products that do what I Made a VS Code Extension to Visualize Project Structures in Markdown does
I got fed up with manually drawing project structures every time I needed to document. So I thought to myself: "I need to automate this." And voilà! I developed the perfect extension for Visual Studio Code (Draw Folder Structure). It's super fast, fully customizable, and instantly turns your project structure into a Markdown visualization. Ideal for documenting and sharing with your team.

I explored an alternative way to view codebases to the typical folder/file list, showing a bird's-eye-view of its structure. https://octo.github.com/projects/repo-visualization

Hi all, I'm Ivan, and together with Alex, we're building a diagram visualization tool for codebases. Alex and I are devs, and we've noticed that recently we've been super productive at writing code (prompting :D). But when it comes to understanding big systems, prompting doesn't work that well — for that, diagrams are best imo. Most tools out there don't scale to big projects (e.g. PyTorch), so we're building CodeBoarding — a recursive visualizer for codebases. It starts from the highest level of abstractions and lets you dive deeper. We use static analysis and LLM agents. The control-flow…

For years, I’ve been obsessed with mapping code visually — originally by copy-pasting snippets into FreeMind to untangle large code bases in big complex projects. It worked, but it was clunky. Now, I’ve built a VS Code/Visual Studio extension to do this natively: Code Mind Map. You can use it to add selected pieces of code to a mind map as nodes and then click to jump to the code from the map. Developers say it’s especially useful for: Untangling legacy code Onboarding into large codebases Debugging tangled workflows Please try it out and let me know what you think!

We made a VS Code extension [1] that lets you visualise logs and traces in the context of your code. It basically lets you recreate a debugger-like experience (with a call stack) from logs alone. This saves you from browsing logs and trying to make sense of them outside the context of your code base. We got this idea from endlessly browsing traces emitted by the tracing crate [3] in the Google Cloud Logging UI. We really wanted to see the logs in the context of the code that emitted them, rather than switching back-and-forth between logs and source code to make sense of what happened. It's a…

VSCode was my daily driver for years, but once I started running several coding agents across multiple projects at the same time, it got in the way. One workspace with terminals in the bottom tray, no idea which agent was doing what and I found myself needing all the code editing tools less and less. So I built my own IDE around that workflow. Terminals are a first-class citizen, every project stays alive in the background with visual statuses. Close the workspace and come back weeks later, everything is still in its place. I've been using it for weeks and it's a big productivity boost. The…

I built this because I often need clean Markdown from PDFs for writing, documentation, and LLM workflows. Most existing tools either flatten everything into text or rely purely on OCR. I wanted something that preserves structure and is actually usable in Markdown. Feedback welcome.

I worked as a software engineer at Amazon, SAP, and on open source. In all 3 places I have struggled with the friction of understanding codebases before I can make a contribution. I think this brain-fatiguing process can be improved. I am trying to solve it with a tool I built over the last 4 years called CodeCanvas: https://docs.code-canvas.com CodeCanvas visualizes codebases through interactive diagrams linked directly to source code. Users can record 'simulations' to demonstrate data flow and business logic. I’ve also recently added an LLM chat where it takes only the relevant…

Hi Hacker News I am happy to share my projet: Reflow. Reflow is a VSCode extension that allows you to plan, track, and manage your projects directly within the VSCode editor. With Reflow, you can: - Break down your codebase into customized tasks - Create multiple workspaces, boards and statuses to track projects and sprints - Assign priority, tags, and users directly to the task - Collaborate in real-time with team members within VSCode - Link tasks to code snippets and files Checkout our VSCode Marketplace page to know more about Reflow! Reflow is still in beta and it was developed by a…
