Issue #1  (Welcome to VSCode.Email)04/27/22

Welcome to the first issue of vscode.email! This week's intro is just a basic introduction to the newsletter, but starting next week I'll be including practical content in the form of a tip, technique, news, or some kind of related tidbit associated with VS Code.

Most of the links I'll share in the rest of this newsletter will be tools and articles on VS Code, but I'll also include some links covering other code editors or related subjects.

Thanks for subscribing and I hope you enjoy the first issue of hand-picked links and tools!
