Unused

What it does

A VS Code extension that performs deep static analysis to detect unused code in JavaScript and TypeScript projects. It identifies dead code beyond unused imports and variables, including functions, components, classes, interfaces, types, enums, exports, hooks, and entire modules. By analyzing project-wide dependencies and usage patterns, it helps developers reduce technical debt, improve maintainability, and keep codebases clean and efficient.

Extension for Visual Studio Code - Find and remove unused code in TypeScript & JavaScript — unused files, unused exports, and commented-out code.

Find and remove unused code in your TypeScript/JavaScript projects directly inside VS Code. Detects .ts , .tsx , .js , .jsx , .mts , .mjs , .cjs files that are never imported anywhere in your project. Identifies exported functions, classes, constants, interfaces, types, and enums that nothing in your codebase imports. Finds blocks of commented-out code that should either be deleted or restored. Analyze a specific folder: right-click any folder in the Explorer → Unused: Analyze Folder . All settings are under unused.* in VS Code Settings ( Ctrl+, / Cmd+,from marketplace.visualstudio.com

  ts-remove-unused – Remove unused code from your TypeScript project2024 · github.com · ▲141

  ts-remove-unused is a command line tool for TypeScript projects that auto-fixes unused `export`s. It removes the export keyword from the declaration or the whole declaration based on its usage in the project. There are some similar tools but they are focused on "detecting" rather than "removing" so I've built one myself. I wanted a solution that's as minimal as possible; config files to specify the files in your project shouldn't be necessary because that info should be already configured in tsconfig.json. All you need to do is to specify your entrypoint file. Feedback is much appreciated!

  Talanoa▲345

  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…

  Homebrew 6.0.0▲1,481

  Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

  Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
