A VS Code extension for high-resolution, share-ready code visuals.

The story

The problem, how I built it, and what came out of it.

01The problem

Standard code screenshots look flat, inconsistent, and low-resolution. Developers should not have to leave the editor to create something worth sharing.

02How I built it

A native TypeScript extension using VS Code APIs, Shiki syntax highlighting, Sharp rendering, themes, glass surfaces, watermarking, and a live preview panel.

03The outcome

Anyone can install it, and one command exports a polished code image without breaking your flow.
