CodeSpotlight
Make your code impossible to miss.
CodeSpotlight makes selected code visually stand out in IntelliJ IDEA with customizable animated effects. Built for coding YouTubers, tutors, instructors, course creators, livestreamers, technical presenters, and anyone who wants their code to be impossible to miss.
👋 Hey Product Hunt!
I'm Karan, the developer behind CodeSpotlight.
I built CodeSpotlight around a simple problem with programming tutorials and screen recordings:
When someone is explaining code, the viewer doesn't always know exactly where to look.
CodeSpotlight turns the current IntelliJ IDEA selection into a visual focus point, making the code you're explaining much easier to follow.
It's especially designed for:
🎥 Programming YouTubers
👨🏫 Tutors & instructors
📚 Course creators
🔴 Coding livestreamers
🎤 Technical presenters
You can customize colors, animation modes, glow, moving lights, trails and other visual effects directly inside IntelliJ IDEA.
Select → Focus → Explain.
I'd love to hear from people who create programming content:
How do you currently make the code you're explaining stand out on screen?
