Corbix DevBoard 🚀

DevBoard is a smart, all-in-one developer control panel built directly into Visual Studio Code. It seamlessly manages your project's local services, to-dos, and documentation inside an isolated, auto-generated .DevBoard workspace.

Perfect for developers working on complex architectures (like multi-tenancy ERPs or microservices) who need to keep their environment clean, organized, and fully documented.

🌟 Key Features

1. ⚙️ Project Services Manager (.bat)

Run, monitor, and manage your local services (Node.js, Redis, PostgreSQL, UI servers, etc.) without ever touching the terminal manually.

• Auto-Copy: Selecting a .bat file automatically copies it to your project's .DevBoard/bat/ folder to keep your root directory clean.
• External Execution: Services launch in independent, external CMD windows.
• Smart Health Checks: Automatically extracts port numbers from your scripts and pings them to display live status indicators (🟢 Active / 🔴 Offline).
• One-Click Actions: Run all services or stop them with a single click.

2. ✅ Built-in To-Do List

A native, lightweight task manager that lives inside your sidebar.

• Project-Scoped: Tasks are saved locally in .DevBoard/todos.json, moving with your project repository.
• Native UI: Uses native VS Code checkboxes for a seamless and responsive experience.

3. 📝 Developer Notes & Documentation

Keep your thoughts, bug reports, and meeting notes right where you write code.

• Local Isolation: Notes are safely stored in .DevBoard/notes/ as Markdown (.md) files.
• Smart Templates: Quickly generate notes using built-in templates (Feature Documentation, Bug Report, Meeting Notes).
• Deep Full-Text Search: Find anything instantly. The custom search bar scans both file titles and internal file contents.
• Code Context Linking: Right-click in your editor to copy the exact file path and line number, then paste it into your notes as a clickable Markdown link!

📁 Workspace Structure

Upon initialization, DevBoard automatically scaffolds an isolated environment in your project root to prevent clutter:

├── .DevBoard\                  
│   ├── config.json          
│   ├── todos.json    
│   ├── docs/
│   ├── bat/
│   ├── notes/

🚀 Getting Started

1. Open any project folder in VS Code.
2. Click on the DevBoard icon $(circuit-board) in the Activity Bar.
3. The extension will silently initialize your workspace and generate the .DevBoard folder.
4. Start adding your .bat files, tasks, and notes!
