You learn something valuable every day while coding.
And you lose it by tomorrow.
That’s the real problem.
Most developers don’t fail to write; they fail to remember.
Insights disappear between commits, deadlines, and context switches.
So I made CodeDraft proactive!
Now it doesn’t wait for you to be disciplined.
It watches your workflow and nudges you at the exact moment learning happens ⚡️
🌟 New Features
1. Intelligent Background The Monitoring
CodeDraft now watches your activity (file saves, git commits) to identify "interesting" moments.
- Try opening a source file
- Make a significant change (e.g., add a new function with >20 lines or add a try/catch block).
- Save the file.
Result: You should see a notification: "Interesting change detected. Capture this learning?"
2. Git Commit Analysis
When you commit code, CodeDraft analyses the message and changes.
Here is how you can verify the changes:
- Stage some changes.
- Commit with a message containing keywords like fix, refactor, or feat (e.g., git commit -m "fix: resolve null pointer exception").
Result: CodeDraft will prompt: "Significant commit detected: ... Capture this learning?"
3. Status Bar Integration
A new status bar item keeps you informed.
👁️ (Eye Icon): CodeDraft is watching (0 pending captures).
📓 (Notebook Icon) + Count: Shows how many learnings you've captured.
Clicking: Quickly generates a draft from pending captures.
4. Automated Reviews & Drafts
Weekly Review: On Fridays at 5 PM (configurable), it reminds you to review your week's learnings.
Draft Suggestion: Once you accumulate 5+ captures, it suggests generating a draft.
⚙️ Configuration
You can customise the proactive behaviour in VS Code settings (CodeDraft > Proactive):
Try using CodeDraft for a day of normal work.
Adjust the Notification Cooldown if you find it too chatty or too quiet.
