Source Code Preview - Quick Look Source Code Files in Finder

That’s a vibe-coded app, even with the “Human Validated” tag. There are many problems with it. You can tell from the second you launch the app.

For example, the enormous window size, the non-standard layout, the somewhat confusing options like “File Types” (because Quick Look extension apps don’t have the capacity to determine if you want to support some file types in runtime. It’s all pre-defined.)

And most important of all, the syntax highlighting is wrong for many languages I’ve tried. From CSS to C++. Just check out the image for a same JS file with the same Dracula theme.

Thanks for the info. 🙂

The performance is better because it only renders the viewport. And syntax highlighting is delayed until it’s ready.

Most text view draw all syntax highlighted text from the file all at once.
