Step-by-Step Code Presenter for VS Code
DemiCod lets you create and deliver step-by-step code presentations directly in VS Code.
Select snippets, build up steps, then walk through them incrementally.
Perfect for live coding, tutorials, code reviews, and looking like you actually prepared.
[!TIP]
These features work best when you have code selected in an open editor.
No editor open? No steps for you.
