Hello HN! I'm the creator and solo developer of Extension.js, a development tool for browser extensions with built-in support for TypeScript, WebAssembly, React, and modern JavaScript. Developers use it to spend less time configuring the compilation config or learning new frameworks and more time actually writing code. Most projects similar to Extension.js rely on some sort of abstraction or configuration to get started, making the initial development process slow given the extra learning curve and setup guidelines. By using Extension.js, adding the package to your npm scripts is all it…

I built Nogic, a VSCode extension currently, because AI tools make code grow faster than developers can build a mental model by jumping between files. Exploring structure visually has been helping me onboard to unfamiliar codebases faster. It’s early and rough, but usable. Would love feedback on whether this is useful and what relationships are most valuable to visualize.

Hi HN, Simple online tools on the web have become unnecessary greedy. For example, * https://jsonformatter.org/ displays 7 ads on page load * https://convertcase.net/ had 4 ads plus a Google Vignette. And many more sites do the same thing. It's just noisy, which is why I created this VS Code Extension where you don't need to even leave your editor for your small web operations. I also built a Desktop app and an online version, which can be reached or downloaded at smallonlinetools.net. Both of which will be ad-free forever. So far smallonlinetools.net has over…
