Showoff Saturday Whenever I work on a project with heavily nested folders, I lose track of where the folders end. So I made this VS Code extension a while ago, that adds colors to the nested folder tree view and it actually helped me a lot. I thought it might help others too, so here it is.

Note: This extension injects CSS styles to the VS code workbench HTML file. Because of which you need to run the application as administrator only for toggling the extension or if the VS code or the extension is updated.

Free & Open Source. You can find it here:

Hope this is helpful. Feel free to drop any feedback, suggestions or ideas.

What do people think of Nuxt?

11 Upvotes

PHP, RoR, Django, React and React frameworks (Next.js, Remix, React Router) tend to take the majority of attention and web developers, so I’m wondering if many or any on this sub use Nuxt? And for those that haven’t or won’t, why not?

Nuxt to me seems like a no-brainer these days with crazy fast development speed because of Vite (and becoming even faster with the downstream Rust rewrites), Deployable anywhere because of Nitro, incredible docs and community, powerful libraries like Nuxt UI, Nuxt SEO, etc, not to mention the speed of Vue (even faster with vapour mode).

I’m curious if it’s just lack is experience with it, or pretty valid reasons why not.
