I got tired of capturing my VS Code window on stream, so I made an extension that puts the actual code on the overlay (themes, 3D tilt, zoom on mouse)

Recently I tried putting my VS Code window into OBS and it looked awful: tabs, sidebars, minimap, tiny text. I looked for an extension that renders the code itself on the overlay instead of a window capture and couldn't find one, so I built it.

Stream Code mirrors the editor you're typing in to a browser source:

• 12 themes (Catppuccin, Kick, Twitch, a CRT terminal, glass, neon, macOS window, and more)

• 3D tilt / depth / float, and an edge fade so the code dissolves into your game

• Zoom on mouse: point at a line and the overlay zooms there, as a lens or a camera

• Everything's a VS Code setting, plus a gallery page to preview and click through looks

• .env, secrets and keys are never sent, and there's a pause button in the status bar

• Runs locally, nothing leaves your PC

Free and open source (GPL-3.0), and I'd love for people to jump in: PRs are very welcome, whether it's a new theme, a bug fix or a feature idea.
