5 amazing VSCode extensions that provide lots of quality of life improvements for VSCode. I personally use these extensions myself and I highly recommend them to anyone.

1 indent-rainbow

Indent-rainbow colorizes the indentation in front of your code. It’s a great visual tool that makes it a lot easier to see your indentation.

2 Bracket Pair Colorizer 2

Another visual tool that colorizes your code brackets. I personally can’t live without this, especially when programming in JavaScript.

3 Project Manager

A project management extension for VSCode, especially useful when dealing with lots of different projects.

4 TODO Highlight

An extension that highlights all TODO, FIXME annotations within your code/project. A simple but highly recommended addition to your VSCode development enviroment.

5 REST Client

A simple but incredibly useful extension that enables you to define your REST calls and execute them in a separate file.

Thanks for reading :) I hope you’ve found a new interesting extension that seems useful for you.
