🚀 Built For Developers Who Care About Code Structure
Indent Aura transforms indentation into a visually meaningful experience.
Instead of relying on traditional indentation guides, Indent Aura introduces premium aura rendering, intelligent diagnostics, customizable presets, and a powerful Color Studio designed to help developers understand code structure faster while maintaining a beautiful editor experience.
Designed to work seamlessly across virtually every programming language supported by Visual Studio Code.
💡 Why Indent Aura?
Indentation is one of the most important visual indicators in modern programming, yet most editors treat it as an afterthought.
Indent Aura reimagines indentation visualization by transforming whitespace into a meaningful visual layer that enhances readability, improves navigation, and provides immediate feedback about indentation quality.
Whether you're building personal projects or enterprise-scale applications, Indent Aura helps make code structure easier to understand at a glance.
