Buried in files. Out of sight, out of mind.</p> <h3> The Fix: </h3> <p>I created <strong>Glyph Tool</strong> — a dead-simple VS Code extension to:</p> <ul> <li>Auto-highlight task comments (even custom ones) </li> <li>Show them in a sidebar (like a to-do list) </li> <li>Let you mark done, delete, or filter</li> </ul> <h3> Highlights: </h3> <ul> <li>No config needed — works instantly</li> <li>Custom tags &amp; colors</li> <li>Fully compatible with light/dark themes</li> <li>Support all languages</li> </ul> <p>🔗 <a href="https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=SamiranRay.glyph-tool" rel="noopener noreferrer">Install it Free on VS Code Marketplace</a></p> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Ff41c01rchqgg1mxur579.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Ff41c01rchqgg1mxur579.png" alt="Image description" width="800" height="501"></a></p> <p>🚀 Stop losing track.
