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 Everyone, I built a tool for interactive navigation in the terminal that is intended to replace the all-too-familiar cycle of `ls` to view a directory, followed by `cd`, then `ls`, and repeat. nav is a terminal filesystem explorer built for interactive `ls` workflows. The key features I wanted to enable are interactivity and search without feeling like I'm using anything other than `ls`. nav supports common `ls` options/flags, as well as tab completion, and might expand its support for less common options in the future. These options exist as both CLI flags and interactive toggles.…

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…

Did you know that VSCode extensions run with full access to your system—including file system, network, and credentials? Worse, dozens of malicious extensions have already made it into the marketplace, silently compromising devices. I am a security researcher and student developer who ran into this problem myself. To help tackle this, I built a 100% free tool (no login required) that scans VSCode (and Cursor/Windsurf) extensions for: - Hidden malware and obfuscated code - Dangerous permissions and API misuse - Vulnerable dependencies and suspicious network connections Users have already…

Best way I’ve found so far to manage multiple projects in VSCode. Pitch: “ It helps you to easily access your projects, no matter where they are located. Don't miss those important projects anymore.”

Hi HN. This project is an experiment in terminal user interfaces. It is a filesystem navigator, which could become a useful tool in its own right, or a widget that could be integrated in to a larger tool. I wanted something that felt at home in a terminal session. So it had to use standard terminal themes. I also wanted it to be keyboard friendly and snappy - so no fancy visual effects. I'm going to park this project for now. But I will revisit it at some point down the line when I have more idea what it should become. I did have an idea that I could build a visual cd of sorts, which could…
