As promised to several people, out-of-code-insights is now open source. GitHub: https://t.co/OWB3AelvKA This took longer than expected. I wanted the project to be clean enough to share, but not trapped forever in overthinking. At some point, you have to publish, let the project breathe, and accept that it will evolve with its users. So here it is. out-of-code-insights is a VS Code extension that lets you add annotations, comments, notes, review trails and observations directly inside the editor, without modifying your source files. The code stays clean. The context stays visible. Technical decisions do not disappear into Slack, an external document, or the approximate memory of a team. The idea is simple: Separate the code from everything we need to say around the code.

I wanted the project to be clean enough to share, but not trapped forever in overthinking. At some point, you have to publish, let the project breathe, and accept that it will evolve with its users.

So here it is.

out-of-code-insights is a VS Code extension that lets you add annotations, comments, notes, review trails and observations directly inside the editor, without modifying your source files.

The code stays clean.
The context stays visible.
Technical decisions do not disappear into Slack, an external document, or the approximate memory of a team.

The idea is simple:
Separate the code from everything we need to say around the code.
Concretely, the extension lets you:

• Add non-intrusive annotations to any file type

• Manage annotations in a dedicated VS Code panel

• Navigate quickly between annotations and the related lines of code

• Link annotations across multiple files to track technical relationships

• Reply to annotations as threaded discussions

• Use templates to standardize code reviews, TODOs, bugs, refactoring notes, performance concerns, security concerns and documentation work

• Classify annotations by severity: info, warning and error

• Search, filter and sort annotations

• Launch a review mode with navigation, filters and progress tracking

• Organize annotations in a Kanban board with customizable columns
