Show HN: Explicode – Write Markdown in code comments

2 points

6 months ago

Explicode is a VS Code extension that lets you write Markdown directly inside your code comments. It provides a live preview of both code and documentation, making it easy to create clean, structured docs—almost like Overleaf, but for your code editor. Great for open source projects and academia.

Key features: - Write Markdown in multiline comments - Live preview renders Markdown and code side by side - Supports most popular programming languages - Export documentation to Markdown or HTML - Docs live in the code and update automatically with Git

I’m looking for feedback on usability, bugs, and new feature ideas. If you’re a developer and want to contribute to making Explicode even better, please reach out!
