When I switched to VS Code from JetBrains editors, I was missing the blame view. I couldn’t find any decent extension, so I made my own:

Here are the main features of the extension:

• Very minimal and fast.

• Heatmap like in JetBrains editors.

• Supports light and dark modes out of the box, and doesn’t come with insanely bright colors by default.

• Doesn’t use any resources until you turn on the annotations.

• Doesn’t pollute the editor with too many commands and hotkeys.

Try it now in VS Code!
