 New Extension for Visual HTML Editing in VSCode

A new extension, "Web Visual Editor", has been released for Visual Studio Code (VSCode) that enables live visual editing of HTML files. The extension, developed by urin/vscode-web-visual-editor, has already gained over 400 stars in a short span. While its use cases are currently limited due to the rarity of directly handling HTML files on the frontend, it may prove useful in certain niches where web technologies have not yet fully penetrated.

The extension shares similarities with Microsoft's VSCode Live Preview, but differs in several key aspects. Its real-time preview feature can be particularly helpful for creating simple content like landing pages or components with Vue.js. The extension also includes templates that allow users to quickly answer FAQs or store snippets for reuse.
