[feature] highlight areas that have been reviewed

[keesj-exset]

🧩 Feature

Currently it is needed to go through the extension's review page but it would be nice when opening code to see the annotation either inline or marked on the left scrollbar like is done for pending code changes or git modifications that need to be committed.

At the same time it would be nice to be able to mark areas as "reviewed" without any note. Just marking the area as such.

Hey @keesj-exset . Sorry for the late response. I think part one of your issue has now been solved by #105. Pleas check out version 1.27.0 which will now highlight comments inside a reviewed file.

For your second part: I like the Idea, but I am unsure how it could be acheived / displayed after mark an area as reviewed.

• Should this part be highlighted by choosing another background color for this section or some other decoration?
• how to display such parts in the comment-view explorer?
• where / how can such information be stored? I currently does not really match with the existing CSV file structure.

So lot's of things to consider. Do you have some Ideas already?

Hi,

I think the nicest solution for marking reviews is to not highlight the code but like the git plugin to add a line to the vertical ruler. showing code was highlighted.

* how to display such parts in the comment-view explorer?

I think that statistics would be the best approach e.g. 2000 lines of code reviews and 3 high priority bugs found

* where / how can such information be stored? I currently does not really match with the existing CSV file structure.

Yes... I do not have a clean answer to this.

I am currently still using the git code annotate approach e.g. modify the files and commit in a separate branch e.g. https://github.com/x7-labs/git-code-annotate. For that the solution would be to and an annotation at the start of the method stating the method has been reviewed (with a line count). but .. it is not the best solution either.

I think this is a super valuable feature for people who do code reviews on a regular basis!
