I first came across snippets when it was in very early beta. I had been using Code Collector Pro for a few months and I was far from satisfied. I downloaded it and wanted to move over but didn’t want to redo all my snippets. About a month later when Snippets was around beta .8 (one of the final versions before full release) code collector pro corrupted my entire database and I was sold. I started up snippets and took off. Ever since I can’t even imagine how I lasted without it. One thing that the snippets guys brought up to me is their Import utility which is absolutely amazing. Mainly it gives you the ability to import your snippets from different unfortunately popular snippet collecting applications. If you’ve stored a significant amount of snippets in a different application this is exactly what you need.
What it’s made for
Snippets aims to give you a great way to not only save and store your code but also use it anytime anywhere with ease. Their web site puts it perfectly as
“The main idea is to make the process of reusing as easy as possible to avoid wasting your valuable time to write the same code again.”
Who is the target crowd? In my opinion it’s anyone who uses code, ever. The amount of time this will save you from not only not having to type it again but also from not having to find snippets again somewhere on the internet is invaluable.
