Do you keep them in your IDE, or elsewhere? Do you have an app for that? Are they easily shared?

I realized I have no system at all but could use one to make it easier to find code I’ve written and might need again some day.

By snippets, I am referring to any chunk of code / text in any format or language, of any length.

Thanks!

EDIT A DAY LATER: Thanks you all! Reading all these ideas, I got inspired to create my own little web app. Wish me luck… :)

    I would recommend looking into personal knowledge management. I manage mine in Obsidian and treat snippets like permanent notes

      Hmmm, I am using Logseq for that kind of note rn, but don’t really like the way it handles code. I assume that’s a markdown problem, not a Logseq one, but I should look again.

        Well, Obsidian does have a bazillion plugins that make handling all kinds of content easier. I’m pretty satisfied with the out of the box experience though

        I’m using logseq for snippets too. I find it to be adequate. 3 ticks and the language will get you monospace and syntax highlighting:

        cd $HOME
ls
