SnipppAt Snippp, we see coding as the means to bring ideas to life. But too often, valuable time is lost searching for the right tools, reusable code, or just figuring out how to start. We believe developers should be free to focus on building, not digging through scattered snippets or reinventing the wheel. That’s why we’ve created a platform dedicated to making code organization effortless and collaborative.
We’re here to help developers organize their snippets into cohesive toolkits—collections of code that solve real problems, ready to be reused and shared. By bringing these toolkits together in one place, we aim to foster a culture of contribution, where developers can share knowledge and build on each other’s work.
Our goal is simple: to make coding smoother, faster, and more collaborative. Because when the right tools are in place, creativity flows, and ideas become reality.
Roadmap:
v0.1.0 - MVP
Jul 10, 2024
Initial release!
Login accounts, database started, migrate snippets from my library
Create Interface
Design and develop the main discovery browser and dashboard
Favorites System
Save favorite snippets, popular snippets accumulate likes and your favorites are accessible in a list of favorites
Search and Sorting
General searching of the database
Categorization
Categorize based on snippet tags, browse by category in the browser
Private Snippets
Toggle public visibility of your snippets, keep tools in the dashboard that aren't visible to anyone else
User Profiles
Profiles for users with statistics and basic user info
Custom Lists
Add snippets to a customized list for better organization!
Beta!
Release a working version, get some feedback, start planning to make it better
v0.2.0 - MVP+
July 28, 2024
Fork a Snippet!
Fork a public snippet to make your own copy
Code Blocks in Descriptions
Markdown style, use triple backticks (```) to start and end a code block for mini-documentation about how your snippet is used
Backup/Export User Data
Lets users export their snippet collection to a JSON for safe backups
Keyboard Shortcuts
Navigate the app quickly, get in and out of lists, copy, favorite, etc.
Improved Mobile Experience
Improve navigation and UI for mobile
Language Auto-Detection
The builder detects the language from the code and auto-categorized the snippet into that language, can be overridden
Framework Auto-Detection
The builder detects the possible frameworks and suggests categories for the user
Privacy Overhaul
Snippet Privacy is handled on the server, so none of your data reaches the app for any bad actor to take a peek
Welcome Flow for New User Education
Let new users know what this platform is capable of so they know what to try out
Statistics
App statistics on landing page, user statistics on profile. Stuff like language distribution, user trends, character length in all snippets, fun stuff like that.
Messaging Overhaul
Clarify product goals, write copy to communicate that. Pivot logo and product design guidelines.
UI Improvements
Tune landing page, menus, profile, and loading animations
This Roadmap
Build this roadmap from existing project timeline
v0.3.0 - Quality of Life Improvements
Aug 15, 2024
Improved Search
Weighted and scored search to help you find more relevant results
UI cleanup
Adjust components (notifications, buttons, popups) to be more consistent, improve the look of the app. Cut down on color unless it serves a purpose. Also improves text legibility.
Popup rework
Popups should close when you click outside of them, closing a popup should not take accuracy skillchecks
Word wrap for display
Small detail, but very long snippets should wrap to the next line, not just run off the screen. If prettier can do it, so can we.
v0.4.0 - Curation and Moderation
Sep 15, 2024
Staff Picked Lists
Curated selections of user lists and snippets that are very useful and deserve a bump to the top.
Backend Moderation Portal
Moderation for marking snippets and lists as staff picks, and for the rare case action needs to be taken when a bad actor is spamming or attacking
Dedicated "Curated" Section
A featured section in the navbar for staff-picked lists and snippets
v1.0.0 - Official Launch!
Late 2024
Crash Course
Get prompted with a dismissable crash course when you first sign up! Attempts to ensure all users are aware of useful features.
List Browser
A way to browse lists of snippets, not just individual snippets. This is closer to the goal of building toolkits and simple.
More Robust Open-Source Tooling
Better environment for open-source contributors: better documentation, read-only keys for the database, etc.
v2.0.0 and Beyond
2025
Self-Hosted Instance
A desktop application that runs offline in your file system, with the option to import a snapshot of the current database
Snippp+
A paid plan for increased limits. Something like 100k characters instead of the 25k limit on free tier.
VSCode Plugin
An even faster implementation of the Snippp database of tools hooked directly into your VSCode editor
