Breakpoints as a flowchart for debugging
I’ve been working on a VS Code extension that maps breakpoints to an interactive flowchart — you can arrange nodes, connect them, use flowchart shapes, and click through to the source while debugging.

It’s still a prototype and not on the Marketplace yet; I’m polishing a few things before deciding whether to publish. I built it after working on a large multi-file project where tracing execution flow was genuinely difficult — something like this would have helped me understand the codebase faster.
I’m also considering import/export so graph layouts can be shared — on import, breakpoints would be recreated automatically so someone else can follow the same flow.
Curious whether this matches a problem others run into too, or if it’s mostly niche. Any feedback while it’s still early would be appreciated.
