       Show HN: Dynamic code and feedback walkthroughs with your coding
       Agent in VSCode
        
       I've been programming since I'm 6 and I don't want to quit. Since
       Agents came into existence I've been increasingly building more of
       the random ideas.   _BUT, like many_ I kept getting stuck and
       frustrated where I wanted to make changes with the Agent that I
       _knew_ I could 've made without it but I had *no clue* how things
       worked.  I created Intraview to help me build and maintain a mental
       model of what I was building (or had vibed) so I could use my
       knowledge to either fix it myself, or provide more directed
       instruction. It grew into something that's transformed my workflow
       in a pleasant way.  Intraview is a VS Code extension that allows
       you to create: - Dynamic code tours built by your existing Agent -
       Storage and sharing of tours (it's a file) - Batch
       Feedback/commenting inline in IDE in-tour and without (it's also a
       file)  Here's a video walkthrough for the show vs tell crowd where
       I jump in a random ( _Plotly JS_ ) open source repo and build a
       tour to get started: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROBvFlG6vtY
       Talking tech design, this is very different than most because the
       whole App is cloudless. Not server less, there's no external APIs
       (outside basic usage telemetry).                 - basic TypeScript
       app, JS/CSS/HTML       - Localhost MCP server inside VS Code (one
       per workspace open)        Three of the biggest challenges I faced
       was:                 - re-considering the user experience given
       there's no database        - trying to build a reasonable
       experience to manage MCP connection across so many different
       setups.       - testing the many forks, Agents and themes because I
       wanted to make it look native (I'll probably reverse course here in
       future iterations)       What I'm curious about is, where do you
       see the value:                 - New project/developer onboarding
       - PR reviews        - Keeping up with Agentic code        - Perf
       reviews (for EM), you could build a tour biggest contributions by a
       GitHub handle       - Planning alignment and review with your Agent
       You can see the extension page in VS Code with these custom links
       _(Note: this redirects and requires permission to open VS Code, won
       't actually install, takes another click)_                 - for VS
       Code: https://intraview.ai/install?app=vscode       - for Cursor:
       https://intraview.ai/install?app=cursor       Once it's installed
       and you confirm MCP is connected to your local server, just ask
       your Agent:                 - Create an Intraview the onboarding
       for this app..       - Let's use Intraview to gather my feedback on
       [whatever you created]. Break down steps such that I can provide
       good granular feedback.       Looking forward to your feedback and
       discussion.  And because this is HN. A relevant quotable from PG.
       "Your code is your understanding        of the problem you're
       exploring.        So it's only when you have your code        in
       your head that you really understand        the problem."
