I built a VSCode extension that visualises your code navigation as a call tree — made for legacy codebase pain

Been working on legacy Angular codebases for 2+ years and constantly losing track of where I am when jumping between files and functions. Couldn't find a tool that remembered my navigation path visually so I built one.

NavTrace builds a visual call tree in a side panel as you navigate your code. Early version, still rough around the edges, but it solves a real problem I face daily.

Already got 53 downloads with zero marketing which tells me other people have the same pain point.

Would love honest feedback from anyone who works with complex or legacy codebases.
