Code Snippet Trackers

While searching for a pastebin yesterday I stumbled across two sites that provide long-term personal and “social” or shared code snippet storage.

snipt  snipplr

Both provide syntax highlighting and long term access to your snippets. Snipplr also provides an API and several libraries for accessing your code, including python bindings and a wordpress plugin for displaying snippets from snipplr. The design of snipt is cleaner, and more “web 2.0”, but Snipplr seems to have more content and more third-party integration.

    Yea, Snipplr’s been around for some time, and it’s definitely done a lot of things right.

    I think Snipt will catch up in terms of content eventually. For now, we just want to build up functionality, develop a kick-ass UX.

    Don’t forget Snipt’s embeddable code snippets!

    Thanks for finding us :D Are you on Twitter?
