Use VS Code as a reliable note-taking/journaling app launched on February 14, 2018 with 14 votes, #896 of 2,635 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 8 years on.
In plain words
This tool enables developers to use VS Code, their existing code editor, as a note-taking and journaling application. Rather than switching to separate software, users can manage personal notes alongside their development work within a single interface. The project launched in 2018 and is hosted on GitHub, making it accessible to developers who already have VS Code integrated into their workflow.

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.
