VS Code Stories

In plain words

VS Code Stories is a developer tool that lets users create and share Instagram-style stories directly within Visual Studio Code. It allows developers to record their screen while coding and share the recordings with others without leaving the editor. The tool is designed for programmers who want to document their coding process or share their work with peers in a social media format integrated into their development environment.
