Visual Studio Code
Open source code editor by Microsoft running on Electron.
Overview
What I built & why
A free, open source source code editor built on Electron with first-class TypeScript, debugging, and Git integration. Cross-platform on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
The extension API and Language Server Protocol have made VS Code the de-facto editor across most language ecosystems since its 2015 release.
Highlights
Key deliverables
- ✓ TypeScript-first codebase

Process
Challenge & solution
The challenge
Editorial wanted to publish from anywhere, but the existing CMS made a simple image swap a fifteen-minute task.
The solution
Designed the new editor flow around the actual content patterns, with sane defaults and one-click publish targets.
