The Problem
TODO, FIXME, HACK, and NOTE comments get scattered across a codebase, making it hard to track open work without manually searching every file.
The Solution
Built a VS Code sidebar extension that scans the workspace for configurable comment tags, groups them by file, supports click-to-jump navigation, live refresh on save, mark-as-done, custom tag colors, and a status bar open-todo count.
Technical Challenges
- —Scanning common file types efficiently across a full workspace
- —Keeping the todo list in sync with live file saves
- —Supporting custom tags and colors via the waypoint.tags setting
- —Handling mark-as-done without deleting the underlying comment
- —Packaging and distributing the extension as a .vsix before Marketplace publishing
