You know that feeling when you're reviewing hundreds of lines of AI changes and the diff just keeps scrolling? It's hard to see the forest for the trees. I wanted a better way to understand the story behind file changes, so I built an extension called "Diff Synapse".
It’s pretty simple: it uses an AI model to analyze blocks of code changes. It then presents the changes as "concepts" in a hierarchy. For example, it can group things like 2 file changes as [New Data Field], and 3 other file changes as[Function Signature Update], etc. This makes reviews feel more intuitive.
Any and all feedback is welcome. Thanks for your time!
