🔥 Why I Built CodeWhiz

As a developer, I was tired of:

  • Seeing messy code with zero comments 😵
  • Wasting time writing repetitive explanations
  • Getting lost in my own logic weeks later 🤯

So I built CodeWhiz, a lightweight VS Code extension that:

  • Adds short inline comments to any selected code
  • Uses Google Gemini AI under the hood
  • Supports multiple languages like Python, Java, Go, JS, C++, and more
  • Drops helpful emojis for vibes 🐍📐💡

💡 Features

✅ AI-generated inline comments

✅ Works with multiple languages

✅ Built with Gemini API

✅ Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl + Win + J

✅ Open Source on GitHub

✅ Zero bloat – just select and comment ✨

🧪 Example

Before: 

func reverse(s string) string {
    r := []rune(s)
    for i, j := 0, len(r)-1; i < j; i, j = i+1, j-1 {
        r[i], r[j] = r[j], r[i]
    }
    return string(r)
}

After 

func reverse(s string) string { // Reverse a string 🔁
    r := []rune(s) // Convert to runes 🧩
    for i, j := 0, len(r)-1; i < j; i, j = i+1, j-1 { // Swap characters 🔄
        r[i], r[j] = r[j], r[i]
    }
    return string(r) // Convert back to string 🔙
}
