Indeed! Would love if you took part in the development
I created a very simple POC for this, see here: vscode-xschem-viewer
Cool!
Do you plan to publish it to the VS Code marketplace?
Yes I will publish it 😄 Do you have any rejections/comments? Thanks
Thanks!
Overall it looks good. A few things I noticed:
Would be nice to also open .sym files (right now, it only deals with .sch files)
Marketplace listing:
Icon is missing, and Tiny Tapeout should be written this way. We'd appreciate a shout out to Tiny Tapeout in the README, something along the lines of:
Tiny Tapeout is an educational project that aims to make it easier and cheaper than ever to get your digital and analog designs manufactured on a real chip.
To learn more and get started, visit https://tinytapeout.com/.
Not mandatory, but will definitely make us happy to see it.
Thanks for the comments! The zoom level seems to be xschem-viewer itself, do you have a zoom-to-fit function or something like that? Also, can I use the Tiny Tapeout icon for the vscode marketplace?

Yes, not sure why it's not working correctly though:

You mean here?
Or somewhere else?
yes, the icon as you marked
In that case, IMHO it makes sense to use Xschem icon - @stefanSchippers are you good with it?
@urish no problem. Use the icon / image / logo you like more and think it's best for the purpose.
done :) vscode-xschem-viewer
Great, TYSM!
One more suggestion: include a screen shot in the README
Awesome, exactly what I need! 💯 Thanks for the great work @barakhoffer, @urish, and @StefanSchippers!
I've been thinking about the need for this over the last month or two. I even presented the idea at a conference panel last month and all the panelists agree that a vscode xschem schematic editor would be awesome. It was the "Will open source design be the future direction?" panel at the IEEE CICC conference in Denver on April 24th.
I think it would be cool to do a vscode extension xschem-viewer version, where you can use vscode preview to quickly move and browse schematics. I can also take part in the development.
