I'm a CS student about to graduate with a Bachelors, and I wanted a project I could actually finish and put on GitHub. Built Waypoint, a sidebar extension that finds every TODO, FIXME, HACK, and NOTE comment across your project and lists them in one place.
What it does:
Click any item to jump straight to that line
Updates live every time you save a file
Right-click to mark something done without deleting the comment
Custom tags and colors, fully configurable
Not on the Marketplace yet, working through the publisher setup, but you can grab the .vsix and install it manually:
tristancable
/
Waypoint
Find and jump to TODO comments across your project
Waypoint
Find and jump to TODO comments scattered across your project, all in one sidebar panel.
Installation
This extension isn't published to the VS Code Marketplace yet, so install manually instead:
- Download the latest
.vsixfile from the Releases page - In VS Code, open the Extensions view
- Click the
...menu (top-right of the Extensions panel), then Install from VSIX... - Select the downloaded file
Features

This was my first real extension project, so I'd genuinely appreciate any feedback, bugs, or feature ideas. Thanks for reading!
