An open-source APM-powered IDE-based plugin. Inspired by the Feedback-Driven Development (FDD) approach, SourceMarker combines IDE and APM technology to facilitate continuous feedback for software developers.
Hi @brandon.
This looks really interesting and sounds like a valuable tool. I went to try it out and discovered it was only available for JetBrains IDE, which I, unfortunately, do not use.
Any chance you are considering a plugin for VScode? I can imagine I'm not alone in thinking it would be valuable resource in this environment.
Kudos to the work in making this happen!
@saeed_richardson Thanks for checking out SourceMarker. Adding support for more IDEs is definitely in the plan. I chose JetBrains only because I'm more familiar with the IDE and needed an IDE to prove the concept. The next IDE I planned to tackle was Eclipse Theia which conveniently allows us to also support VSCode.
Hello Hunters,
I'm happy to share a project I've been working on. The driving force behind this project is the contextualization of production software behavior. Given the rise of software observability technology, developers have more than enough data available to build and debug software more effectively. However, this data is of little benefit if developers aren't seeking it out or worse, don't understand how to effectively comprehend and/or utilize it. SourceMarker aims to fix these problems by providing access to production operational metrics and actionable advice through the familiar context of the source code inside developers' IDEs.
I'm personally interested in this type of technology because I think source code is full of evolving behaviors that are invisible through the seemingly lifeless medium of textual syntax. I think this type of technology breathes a bit of life into source code.
This project is completely open-source so feel free to make issues or start discussions on the project.
