Show HN: Review patch/diff files as VS Code diffs with on-demand loading

Category: devtools

Tags: vscode-extension, code-review, diff, patch, git

Score: 6.0/10 (Innovation: 5, Technical: 7, Documentation: 7, Utility: 5)

A VS Code extension that turns patch/diff files into native side-by-side diff reviews with inline comments, and can fetch full file context from GitHub/GitLab using the patch's base commit. It avoids webviews entirely, works in desktop and web VS Code, and persists review notes in a portable JSON file. Useful for code review workflows that start from patches, but it's a fairly narrow niche.

Target audience: backend devs, devops, code reviewers
