AsyncLine - Bring the Power of Video and Voice to your Code

Overview

AsyncLine reinvents code collaboration by introducing audio and video comments directly in your VS Code environment. Designed to enhance clarity and streamline the code review process, AsyncLine empowers developers to communicate more effectively across time zones and workflows.

Features

• Audio Comments: Leave voice messages within your code to explain complex logic, provide quick feedback, or offer detailed explanations without cluttering your code with text comments.
• Video Comments: Record short video clips to show instead of tell; perfect for walkthroughs, debugging, or demonstrating UI/UX flows directly alongside your code.
• Asynchronous Collaboration: Team members can view or listen to comments at a time that suits them, facilitating flexible and efficient collaboration.
• Seamless Integration: Works smoothly with VS Code, making it easy to adopt and integrate into your existing development workflow.
