I built and open-sourced a production-ready boilerplate for building VS Code extensions using React-based webviews.
It focuses on removing setup friction while keeping the architecture clean and extensible.
Key features: - React 19 + TypeScript - Tailwind CSS - esbuild-based bundling (fast builds) - Two-way messaging between extension and webview - VS Code theme-aware styling - Production-ready build and packaging setup
The repo includes documentation and a deployment guide.
