Extension for Visual Studio Code - A tool for finding stackoverflow answers and pasting them into your code.
StackFinder makes it easy to find what you're looking for on Stack Overflow without having to go into your broswer. The process is seamless. Type what you want to search for in the editor you're working in and hit: You will be instantly presented with a (hopefully) relevant stackoverflow question and answer where you have the option to paste code snippets directly to the editor, switch between questions, view the original source in your default browser, and more. The motivation behind this development was to make it as seamless as possible to get solutions into your code. Instead of having 100 chrome/firefox tabs open with different stackoverflow pages up, you can have one open in your code…from marketplace.visualstudio.com

Hey all My name is Sindre, and I am the CTO of Scrimba (YC S20). For the last 7 years, I have written all my web apps in a full-stack programming language called Imba. It compiles to JavaScript and its main goal is to make web developers more productive.
