A VS Code extension that performs deep static analysis to detect unused code in JavaScript and TypeScript projects. It identifies dead code beyond unused imports and variables, including functions, components, classes, interfaces, types, enums, exports, hooks, and entire modules. By analyzing project-wide dependencies and usage patterns, it helps developers reduce technical debt, improve maintainability, and keep codebases clean and efficient.

👋 Hi everyone! I'm excited to share this VS Code extension built to help developers find and eliminate unused code with confidence. Most tools stop at unused imports and variables. This extension goes deeper by analyzing the entire project to detect unused functions, React components, classes, interfaces, types, enums, exports, hooks, and even orphaned modules. The goal is simple: help teams reduce technical debt, keep codebases clean, and make refactoring safer. I'd love to hear your feedback, feature requests, and any edge cases you've encountered in large JavaScript or TypeScript projects. Thanks for checking it out! 🚀
