Nestless Code - VSCode extension to help you avoid the Pyramid of Doom

As you indent the code deeper, the font size gets smaller and more transparent.

Hey PH! I built Nestless Code to help developers avoid the Pyramid of Doom problem. What is the Pyramid of Doom problem? According to Wikipedia (lol), it is a common issue that arises when a program uses many levels of nested indentation to control access to a function. This is a real problem, especially for new devs. Nestless Code will help you visualize when you're going too deep into nesting. Let me know what you think, and thanks!
Congrats on the launch! Wishing you and your team an exciting journey ahead. What inspired you to create this?
this is cool, I love that its simple, narrow in scope and that you shipped! I added the extension to my config and Ill see how it makes me feel after some usage :) thanks for sharing.
thank you! Let me know if this helps you!
Helping developers avoid the Pyramid of Doom is a valuable feature. How does the tool handle deeply nested but necessary code structures? Any plans for more features to help with other common coding issues? Congrats on the launch, it's a great initiative! ✌️
As a new and enthusiastic dev, I had no idea what the "pyramid of doom" was until my experienced co-founder pointed out that I was coding like a mad-man. Even after a stern talking to, the lure of the pyramid remains strong and I 100% need this in my IDE.
Wow. Absolute precision. Do you have extension for pycharm?
