Get GitHub Links from VS Code
Hi HN community, A few friends of mine and I built Tym – a small VS Code extension that makes it easy to share code snippets and get feedback from your teammates. With Tym, you can select a snippet of code and add a question or terminal dump right from the right-click menu. Your teammates can then easily browse your code in a web-based version of VSCode, even if you have uncommitted changes (we make a commit to a hidden git reference in your repo). We made Tym so we don’t have to go to Github and find lines every time we want to share a piece of code. With Tym, you can stay in VS Code and…
Get GitHub Links from VS Code launched on April 5, 2022 with 12 votes, #896 of 2,974 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 4 years on.
In plain words
Tym is a VS Code extension that lets developers share code snippets directly from their editor without manually navigating GitHub. Users select code, add questions or context, and generate shareable links viewable in a web-based VS Code interface—even for uncommitted changes, which Tym stores in hidden git references. Designed for team collaboration and code review, the extension keeps all code on the user's GitHub repository with permission-based access. It's free and open-source.

Talanoa▲343Hi 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…

Hi HN community, I’m Zach, founder and CEO of Warp, and am excited to show you Warp, a fast Rust-based terminal that’s easy to use and built for teams. As of today, Warp is in public beta and any Mac user can download it. It works with bash, zsh, and fish. The terminal’s teletype-like interface has made it hard for the CLI to thrive. After 20 years of programming, I still find it hard to copy a command’s output; I always forget how to use `tar`; and I always have to relearn how to move my cursor. To fix fundamental accessibility issues, I believe we need to start innovating on the terminal,…
