Wardley Maps for Visual Studio Code
Tool Live tool
No screenshot. Either this resource is not in the 30-target capture set, or the capture returned an interstitial rather than the page — which is recorded as a failure rather than published as a screenshot. What was and was not captured.
What it is
Brings the OnlineWardleyMaps rendering engine into VS Code. Syntax highlighting for .wm and .owm files, live map rendering via the command palette, autocomplete and snippets on Ctrl+Space, Ctrl+Click to jump between components, and bundled example maps and documentation. Maps are fully round-trippable with onlinewardleymaps.com.
Limitations
Depends entirely on one maintainer and on OWM's engine; if OWM's DSL moves, the extension must follow. No collaborative editing. Rendering is a webview panel, so it is heavier than Mermaid's inline rendering and doesn't show up in GitHub's diff view.

| Status, August 2026 | Live. Version 2026.2.16, ~4,856 installs, 4/5 stars. ⚠️ The marketplace page's "last updated" field parsed as November 2024 in my fetch, which contradicts the CalVer version string implying February 2026 — re-check this field before publishing a date. |
| Licence | Listed as "Free" on the marketplace; the underlying OWM engine is MIT. The extension repo's exact licence file was not directly verified. |
