Re.Me is a VS Code extension that allows you to leave comments on code lines without modifying the code itself.
No need for // TODO, // FIXME, or console.log — all comments are stored separately but always within reach.
💬 Comment. Analyze. Return. Without a single line of code.
✨ Features
- ✅ Comment on any code — even in third-party files or
node_modules
- ✅ Automatic binding — comments stay on the correct line during editing
- ✅ Hover highlighting — instantly see where notes are located
- ✅ Search and navigation — quickly find all comments in the project
- ✅ Resilient to changes — if a line shifts, the comment follows it
- ✅ Lightweight and fast — data is stored locally in
.re.me/comments.json
🎯 Who is it for?
- 🔍 Code review — leave notes before creating a PR
- 🧠 Project exploration — mark complex sections
- ⚙️ Refactoring — plan changes without
// TODO
- 🛠 Debugging — mark problem areas without cluttering production code
🖼 Panel Example
[Re.Me Panel]
📁 src/
└── file.ts
──── 📄 file.ts.
──── → 15: // Old API — replace with fetchUser().
──── → 42: ⚠️ Caching doesn't work with SSR.
──── → 88: ✅ Verified — works.
🔎 Hover over a comment → the line will be highlighted in the editor
🖱 Click → navigate to the line
⚙️ How to use
Install the extension:
ext install bmvhome.re-me
In the editor:
Open a file → select a line → right-click → Re.Me: Add Comment Here
Or use the ➕ button in the Re.Me panel (in the Activity Bar)
All comments are displayed in a separate panel.
Search, edit, delete — without leaving any traces in the code.
🧩 How it works?
Re.Me uses line checksums and context (prev/next) to bind comments.
Even if you:
Add lines
Change order
Move code —
→ the comment stays in place \
📂 Where is the data stored?
All comments are stored locally in the project: \
your-project/
└── .re.me/
└── comments.json \
🔐 Secure, won't be committed to Git (it's recommended to add to .gitignore)
📢 Planned features
- [ ] Multi-user support (via Git)
- [ ] Comment export/import
- [ ] Block-level comments (not just line-based)
- [ ] Git integration — show comments per branch
