You saw some nice piece of code? Now you can add a ๐, or maybe even a ๐ and spread the love. It seems like there might be a bug there? Give it a ๐ with a comment on your finding and come back to fix it when you get the chance.
Hey everyone! I'm Orfeas, and I'm very excited to introduce our VS Code extension, Code Reactions for your IDE. We're offering you a unique way to bring your team's collaboration to the next levelโthrough emojis! ๐๐ก๐
The Origin Story: While working on an ambitious project, we found that conventional code review tools were falling short in capturing the nuances of our team's feedback. The solution? Emojis! ๐๐
Why itโs Awesome: Emojis offer a quick and expressive way to comment on code. Our plugin lets you place emojis directly on code lines, making it easier than ever to give and receive feedback. Love a well-structured function? Drop a โค๏ธ. Spot an area that needs refactoring? ๐ ๏ธ it is!
For the Dev Community: We've made Code Reactions open-source and incredibly easy to use. Collaborate with team members, get immediate feedback, and improve your codebaseโall within your IDE. ๐๐ป
Key Features:
- Add and view emoji reactions seamlessly
- Receive real-time notifications about new reactions
- Easily navigate and manage reactions across different repos through our web interface
The Road Ahead: We're excited to continuously improve and extend the features based on your feedback. Head over to our GitHub to contribute and help us make coding more fun and expressive! ๐๐ฉโ๐ป๐จโ๐ป
Letโs code with emotions and make every line of code a conversation starter! ๐จ๏ธ๐ฅ
๐ Hey folks,
As a developer on this project, I've got to say it's been an incredible addition to our coding/reviewing experience.
๐ Emoji Reactions:
Having reaction emojis right in the repo has brought a new level of expressiveness and engagement. No more long comment threads just to say "great job" or "I agree." A simple emoji says it all!
๐ Efficiency:
It's surprising how much these little emojis can speed up our code reviews and issue tracking. Itโs a quick and effective way to get a read on team sentiment.
๐ฅ Team Morale:
Let's face it, coding can be a grind. These emojis add a bit of fun and lighten the mood, making our day-to-day tasks a little more enjoyable.
Excited to hear your thoughts and looking forward to your feedback! ๐
Hey! I am Jason, one of the devs that created this extension and I am super excited for the opportunity to spread the love with the community by opening up to everyone this free Open Source ๐ extension to add emoji reactions ๐๐๐, even with comments, to any line of code of any Git repo, straight from you IDE!
Why it all started: We were knee-deep in a massive re-architecture and were struggling to keep with the fast changing code-base ๐ซ. We built a small extension to help us.
What we found: Our in-house extension saved the day! We could mark code with emojis (yes, emojis ๐) for feedback, notes, or code quality vibes. It was a game-changer! ๐
For the community: We made it open source, lightweight, and super IDE-friendly. You can add emojis, comments, and see what others think about code. ๐
Cool Features: Check out multiple ways to react, get notified about new reactions, and explore cross-repo insights on our web platform.
Whatโs next? Join us on GitHub to shape the extensionโs future together. Letโs code with emotions! ๐
Hello everybody!
I'm thrilled to welcome you to our latest creation. I'm passionate about crafting tech that enhances everyday tasks in a fun and usually efficient way. Your feedback on UX, front-end, or anything else is invaluable and I am more than happy to chat about your ideas.
As this is an open-source project, I look forward to collaborating and connecting with new people. Let's make coding more efficient, beautiful, and enjoyable.
Happy coding!
@kevin thank you for hunting us!
TL;DR
We created a vscode extension to add emoji reactions ๐๐๐, even with comments, to any line of code of any Git repo! React and see others' reactions to any piece of code straight from your IDE, and have them follow the code through changes.

Where did it all start ๐ฆ
We are part of a team building an analytics tool. In January we decided to do what we called "replatforming" which was almost a complete architectural change of the entirety of our analytics platform ๐ฑ to handle scale. In the middle of changing hundreds of files in tens of repos, we found ourselves wanting to mark code for later deletion, refactor, etc. Cause of that, we were pilling mountains of JIRA tickets that were soon outdated. It was NOT working for us! ๐
So we quickly hacked together an internal IDE extension that allowed us to put a mark (or an emoji ๐) on the code and find them later!
What we found ๐คฏ
After using the extension internally for sometime we found that it allowed us to keep some things alongside our code, that never could be up to now ๐ฎ. So we ended up using it for various reasons, namely:
-Giving and receiving feedback for your code. As developers we learn from others, and their reaction to our code either that being a ๐, ๐ or sometimes even a ๐ or a ๐, is invaluable to our progress.
-Putting a mark or a note in the code. You are going about your task and suddenly you notice a piece of code that has that smell, or just doesn't look right, or is super cool!. Give it a ๐ or a ๐ and write down a comment if need be!
-Code quality metrics are very cool as a concept! However once used we all know that they feel a bit neither here nor there. Eg is a code bad if it has high complexity? Maybe, maybe not! I'd like to know what my collaborators thinks of the code, which parts are for a ๐ and which for a ๐ค and which repos and files are the ones that might need a look into.
Building and Spreading the ๐!
We thought other devs out there might want to have something like it, the same way we did so we decided to rewrite it (make the code slightly more decent) and give to the community something that's:
-Open Source ๐ (spread the love!)
-It works in the IDE (we don't want another! tool)
-You can add emojis and comments ๐
-You can see others emojis and comments ๐
-Follows (or leaves) the code as it changes. Meaning that it stays there for as long as the relevant line has not changed whitespace doesn't count as change - and they get removed from the line when it's changed ๐ฅ
This is a really cute feature and I hope it catches on! Great idea ๐
Added a โญ๏ธ to your GH.
Congratulations on the launch @alexharris ! The extension looks great and I'm looking forward to trying it out
Super cool! Any plans to integrate with other IDEs? What else is on your roadmap?
Loved this extension, that can make coding more fun! Congrats on your launch guys !!!
This is incredibly beneficial for developers. Can you elaborate on the mechanics of how the extension detects changes in code and manages the persistence and removal of emojis and comments accordingly?
This is pretty cool! I love tools that try to streamline collaboration when building products. Well done!
Our dev team loves Adadot ๐งก Being with them from their very beginning has been a great journey for both of our companies. I wrote a quick review about the product, you can check it out here: https://byvi.co/2023/09/18/adado...
hahahaha this is awesome. I hope the spaghetti ๐ emoji is supported (for myself)
