Show HN: Environment Helper (VS Code)

Category: devtools

Tags: vscode-extension, dotenv, developer-tools

Score: 5.3/10 (Innovation: 4, Technical: 4, Documentation: 7, Utility: 6)

A VS Code extension that scans code for environment variable references and compares them against .env files, highlighting missing and unused variables with autocomplete suggestions. It's interesting because it solves a common developer pain point of environment variable mismatches with a lightweight, editor-integrated solution that supports monorepos.

Target audience: backend devs, fullstack devs, devops
