Codelines – Create Coding Articles from Visual Studio Code

In plain words

Codelines is a developer tool that generates coding articles directly from Visual Studio Code. Launched in 2019, it enables programmers to create written content based on their code without leaving their editor. The tool streamlines the process of documenting code examples and producing technical articles, making it useful for developers who want to share knowledge or create tutorials alongside their coding work.

We use it all the time and think its pretty nifty tech that lets you understand someone’s code in context very quickly. we’re hoping to keep refining it to make it better and more useful.
