Show HN: Syncs your VSCode projects to Start Menu on Windows 10/11

2 years ago

I use VSCode on Windows 11, but a pain point is whenever I want to open a specific project, I have to open VSCode and go to File -> Open Recent and pick the project from there (I could have also opened a terminal and type `code project-dir` but it's also kind of cumbersome).

Ideally I should just be able to search for a project name in the Start Menu and directly open the project from there.

Hence, I built a utility program that syncs VSCode's recently opened projects to Start Menu so that I can press Windows Key, search for a project name, and directly open the project from there.

If it sounds like a nice idea to you, here are the instructions on how to use the program here: https://github.com/sekai-soft/code-opener?tab=readme-ov-file...
