Error compass
Understand errors and stack traces privately in vs code
Error Compass explains confusing errors and stack traces in plain English, right inside VS Code. It recognizes common JavaScript, TypeScript, Node.js, npm, JSON, and permission errors, offering possible causes, troubleshooting steps, and code examples. Unlike cloud-based tools, it runs locally with no API key or network access. Your errors and project contents stay private.
I built Error Compass to make debugging less frustrating. Error messages and stack traces can be confusing, especially when you're trying to understand what went wrong and what to do next. I wanted a lightweight VS Code extension that explains errors in plain English without requiring an API key or sending code to an external service. I'd love feedback from developers: which errors should Error Compass explain better, and what would make it more useful in your daily workflow?
