Ask HN: What projects are you working on now?

Awesome. Please create it for Jetbrains IntelliJ platform. Software tools are trending, you can charge money for it. I'd like to use VSCode but Webstorm is just so much more ahead. Most people and companies (who use them) already pay for Jetbrain tools.

Thanks for the feedback! In addition to CodeTour, I’m in the process of building out a couple of other tools (see below) to support better team collaboration, onboarding and knowledge retention. So I’m focusing on VS Code first, and iterating on feedback, before tackling other editors. That said, any thoughts on the usefulness of these solutions is extremely helpful, as I prioritize my backlog.

Note: Other side-projects on my journey to improve the holistic developer experience:

1. GistPad - Developer library for managing code snippets, documentation and interactive CodePen-like playgrounds. All built on top of GitHub Gists (https://aka.ms/gistpad)

2. Live Share Spaces - A virtual team room for connecting with other developers, and being able to seek and provide in-editor assistance in real-time (https://aka.ms/vsls-spaces)

This is so amazing I'm going to switch from Atom because of it! Thank you for making this!

Thanks! If you get a chance to check it out, please don’t hesitate to send any feedback my way. I need all the help I can get in order to ensure this experience is awesome :)

Going to second the request to bring this to IntelliJ. Everyone I know at my current and previous jobs would use the hell out of this, but so much of JVM development is on IntelliJ now.

Awesome idea!

Thanks! Out of curiosity: in the interim of having an IntelliJ client, do you think your team would use a browser-based client and/or integration that was built into GitHub? I’m working on this right now, and I just wanted to check with you on the applicability of that for your specific team.

Yes, no doubt.

Slightly behind now at least in terms of this plug-in.

In what terms VS Code is behind?

For my work it's PHP support is far behind intellijs and I say that as a massive fan and user of both vscode and intellij (in fact I use both in the same codebase because vscode does typescript better as well as I prefer it's git support and plugins).

Also intellijs support for databases and symfony is vastly far out ahead.
