DevPulse — VS Code Developer Toolkit

A single sidebar panel that replaces scattered productivity tools: bookmarks, snippet vault, TODO aggregator, and quick notes — all in one place.

Features

🔖 Smart Bookmarks

• Bookmark any line with Ctrl+Shift+B (Cmd+Shift+B on Mac)
• Add optional labels to remember why you bookmarked
• One-click navigation back to bookmarked lines
• Stored globally — persists across sessions

📋 TODO Aggregator

• Automatically scans your workspace for TODO, FIXME, HACK, XXX, BUG, NOTE comments
• Prioritized display (BUG → FIXME → HACK → XXX → TODO → NOTE)
• Auto-refreshes on file save
• Configurable patterns and exclusions

📦 Snippet Vault

• Save selected code as a reusable snippet with Ctrl+Shift+S
• Variable interpolation: use ${{varName}} in snippets — you'll be prompted for values on insert
• Usage tracking (most-used snippets bubble up)
• Tag and describe snippets for easy discovery

📝 Quick Notes

• Per-workspace scratchpad via Ctrl+Shift+N
• Creates a .devpulse-notes.md file in your project root
• Perfect for context you need to survive between sessions

⚡ Dashboard

• At-a-glance counts for bookmarks, TODOs, snippets
• Quick action buttons for common tasks
• TODO breakdown by type with color-coded badges
