Snipt: Long-term memory for coders

Personally I prefer to use github gists

On the main page:<p><pre><code> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON my_database.* TO 'my_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'my_password' WITH GRANT OPTION; </code></pre> Couldn't have shown a better example!

I like the "long-term memory for coders" tag line--it gets the idea across well.<p>I've been working on a project--Labradoc--that approaches a similar idea from a different direction: <a href="http://www.labradoc.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.labradoc.com/</a><p>My goal is to encourage developers to take notes as they go to both help them and help other people looking for the information later. From my own experience I've found a "lab notebook" style of site has been valuable both for me and other people. And it tends to be pretty low overhead.<p>A longer term feature I was considering was making individual entries browsable as "tips" for particular technologies but that's still on the TODO list for me.<p>I think there's some interesting areas to explore in the spaces between services like GitHub gists, Stack Overflow and Instructables.

This plus a vim plugin for browsing snips would be awesome.

Looks like a neat service, but browsing the public javascript 'snips' there is a large amount of quite terrible code that i wouldn't recommend anyone uses.<p>Not that this is in any way detriment to the service itself which looks good, merely a warning.

Signed in with OpenID, and Snipt prompts me to make a new account. I don't wanna.

Snippets rocks, but a big time GUI wouldn't be so bad. A killer feature like textexpander would blow the top off snipt.

It would be awesome if you could sort by the number of favorites.

Looks like github gists without the versioning.

Just in case you didn't want to use one of the other 1,000,000 options.

Isn't that what Evernote is for?
