I am a software engineer and solopreneur who has recently been delivering a bunch of apps.

While coding, at the beginning of the year, I developed my own VS Code extension, which I've been using for coding tasks and assistance from top AI models like GPT-3/4 and Google PaLM2.

After a while, I realized it would be good to publish it, so I integrated it into an existing SaaS, which I had previously launched, named SnippetHub, and the extension is called SnippetHub Lens AI.

Why Lens AI? Well, because one of the unique features is that you can create as many CodeLenses as you want, for which you can define custom AI instructions and target points in code, so you will have a little clickable links (CodeLens) above target points (methods/classes/variables...). The result is that you have a pre-defined AI buddies which you trigger on a piece of code and do some AI magic, with just one click.

In addition, it has other features such as AI Chat, setting selected code as AI Chat context and similar. I am currently working on the AI Test Storm feature, which will have a separate view in VS Code, where you will be able to use top AI models to generate tests for your code, for different cases.

The extension is completely free for AI chatting and 1 AI Lens, with your own OpenAI API key. Just register on SnippetHub, log in from VS Code and you can use it.

I would love to hear your feedback, both positive and negative.
