What it does

See exactly how your code got to a log line — without a debugger. A bug is reported in production. You open the log file and find the error. But then comes the real work: You end up jumping between files, grepping for class names, reading through unfamiliar code paths, and mentally building a picture of what called what. For anything beyond a trivial stack this takes minutes to hours — and you might still get it wrong. LogCallStack does that work for you. Click a log line, and the extension automatically traces back through your source code to show the full chain of calls that produced it — right inside VS Code. No guessing. No grepping. No tab-switching. Just click and see the flow. Click…from marketplace.visualstudio.com

    Hey HN, I just built an experimental VSCode extension called LLM Debugger. It’s a proof-of-concept that lets a large language model take charge of debugging. Instead of only looking at the static code, the LLM also gets to see the live runtime state—actual variable values, function calls, branch decisions, and more. The idea is to give it enough context to help diagnose issues faster and even generate synthetic data from running programs. Here’s what it does: * Active Debugging: It integrates with Node.js debug sessions to gather runtime info (like variable states and stack traces). *…

  • A VS Code extension to visualise Rust logs in the context of your code2025 · github.com · ▲5

    We made a VS Code extension [1] that lets you visualise logs and traces in the context of your code. It basically lets you recreate a debugger-like experience (with a call stack) from logs alone. This saves you from browsing logs and trying to make sense of them outside the context of your code base. We got this idea from endlessly browsing traces emitted by the tracing crate [3] in the Google Cloud Logging UI. We really wanted to see the logs in the context of the code that emitted them, rather than switching back-and-forth between logs and source code to make sense of what happened. It's a…

  • Talanoa▲337

    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…
