Watermelon for Visual Studio Code

GitHub commit activity (branch) Open VSX Downloads OSSF-Scorecard Score

Watermelon is a Passive Documentation Search Engine serving both our GitHub app and IDE extension. Our set of plug-ins help developers understand code context, improve their coding velocity and merge PRs like a breeze.

We've built a search algorithm that indexes the most relevant passive documentation for a given block of code.

To obtain business context in your IDE, use this extension.

We're an early-stage project, therefore we still have the luxury to coordinate via short chats with our contributors. If you're interested in contributing, please join our Discord community. Alternatively, comment on our issues if you plan to solve one.

Analytics

We use VS Code's telemetry library. The library respects the user's decision about whether or not to send telemetry data.

We also have settings to disable it.

Watermelon doesn't store your code
