Nice extension, it may be worth in the readme explaining how it’s different to https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-livepreview which has been around for a long time and maintained by Microsoft.

I have updated the README to address similar comments and issues. https://github.com/urin/vscode-web-visual-editor?tab=readme-...

I think it's mainly the `No additional processes` point. Live Preview serves the page, likely by spawning another process to host the server.

Because of the debacle around VSCode extensions owned by Microsoft that recently surfaced here on HN, it's good to have an alternative.

Do you have a link? Curious to know what the concerns were.

Many of Microsoft's extensions are closed source. This one does not appear to be, but MS has been known to replace open source VS Code extensions with closed source ones in the past.

I thought of MS Frontpage for a very brief moment as I was clicking the link to Live Preview.

Pinegrow[1] is somewhat similar to MS Frontpage IIRC. I highly recommend it.

Never heard of it, reminds me of DreamWeaver, instant favorite. Thanks for sharing.
