STOP GUESSING. START BUILDING.
VS Code is installed… now what? We’ve got you.
You’re into the web, you discovered VS Code, you want to ship something—but first-time setup is a wall of extensions, settings, and random tutorials. This wizard is for “someone please make this feel right.” Pick your stack, get a sensible extension bundle and copy-paste install scripts. It all runs in your browser; your choices are not uploaded. Let’s make your editor feel like yours.
Free. About 15 minutes. No account required.
What you get (without the headache)
- No more hunting for “which extension do I even need?”—steps spell it out.
- Presets for frontend, Node, full-stack, Python / data, and more.
- PowerShell or Bash scripts you can paste straight into VS Code’s terminal.
- Privacy-first: everything stays in your browser and on your device.
- Not your language? Use the header menu or switch inside the wizard anytime.
Your future self will thank you for not winging the setup.
What you’ll do in the wizard
Pick a preset, adjust extensions, optionally copy settings snippets, then paste one install script into VS Code’s terminal. Scattered tutorials waste the first hour—this lines up extensions, order, and commands so you can get back to building. Everything stays on your device.
