During my first year of computer science, I had many problems with my activities and projects, which took me too much time to complete. However, I was lucky enough to find some tools and extensions that helped me through it, and they will help you, too!

Microsoft PowerToys

These programs add or change features to maximize productivity or add more customization. It is very useful for me as it has tools such as a text extractor to extract text from pictures and uncopiable websites.

Live Share works for all your needs and those of your team. It is very useful as it helps me and my classmates edit a single file from different computers and places.

Take control with SnapSort—the future of file organization. SnapSort helped me organize my files into easily navigatable folders so I could find them easily and save more time.

CodeSnap

CodeSnap is a tool to create, manage & share images of code snippets. It provides a powerful editor to create images of your code snippet. It is very simple to use, and it is very useful when you need to share your code with your teacher or your classmates and friends.
