What it does

✅ See how your code evolves 📸 Take snapshots before big changes 🔄 Restore with one click ⚡ Compare versions side-by-side. Code View’s got your back. Like having a local time machine for your code!

Extension for Visual Studio Code - Track and visualize your code changes over time with an interactive timeline

Track, visualize, and navigate your code changes with an intuitive timeline interface – directly inside your editor. Whether you're debugging, refactoring, or just exploring history, Code View makes version tracking feel natural. 💡Compatible with VS Code 1.84+ and Cursor (as of June 2025) No more spamming snapshots. Code View now uses a hybrid buffer that auto-saves after 10s of inactivity, bundling changes into clean, logical checkpoints. Too slow? Too fast? Choose from 0.5x to 3x and replay your timeline at your own pace. Label snapshots with custom titles. You'll never forget what "that change" was again. Track time spent across code categories: Frontend, Backend, API, Docs, etc.…from marketplace.visualstudio.com

    I've been programming since I'm 6 and I don't want to quit. Since Agents came into existence I've been increasingly building more of the random ideas. BUT, like many I kept getting stuck and frustrated where I wanted to make changes with the Agent that I knew I could've made without it but I had *no clue* how things worked. I created Intraview to help me build and maintain a mental model of what I was building (or had vibed) so I could use my knowledge to either fix it myself, or provide more directed instruction. It grew into something that's transformed my workflow in a pleasant way.…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

    Hey HN! Pilots everywhere are required to keep a logbook of all their flying hours, aircraft, airports, and so on. Since I track everything digitally (some people still just use paper logbooks!), I put together some data visualizations and a few 3D globes to show my flying history. This globe is probably my favourite so far: https://jameshard.ing/pilot/globes/all If you’ve got ideas for other graphs or ways to show this kind of data, I’d love to hear them!

  • I was the main contributor to workout.lol, an open-source fitness app to easily build a workout routine. The project had traction (1.4k GitHub stars, 95 forks, ~20K visits/month), but was eventually sold due to video licensing hurdles. The new owner stopped maintaining it, and the repo went abandoned. Over the next 9 months, I sent 15 emails to try to save it : no replies. Feature requests & issues were ignored. The community was left with a "broken" tool let's say. I couldn't just let it die So I built the new version from scratch with the same open-source spirit, but a better…
