Snippman

When you work as programmer or a web designer, it can sometimes be difficult to keep a comprehensive history of your work. Still such a practice could be useful, considering that many future projects will likely require similar pieces of code. In other words, it would be useful if you took a bit of time to organize your snippets.

Obviously, there are programs that can help you do that. Today, we’ll take a look at Snippman.

In Snippman you’ll be able to easily organize your favorite pieces of reusable code in folders. The way you choose to name these folders is entirely up to you. For example, you can create groups of snippets based on the language they were written in, on the projects they written for, on their size or on any other criteria you can come up with.

Snippman allows you to create as many folders as you wish, but in these folders you can also add just as many snippets. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with creating just one folder to store all your pieces of code. Everything you add will be automatically saved, even if you close the program (although it would probably be easier if you just minimized it to the system tray).

When you’re in a folder, you can add either a code snippet or a rich text block. If you wish to add code, then simply paste the lines into the interface and then select the programming or markup language; Snippman will then highlight your code appropriately.

The text editor can also be a useful tool, because you can use it to create notes for your snippets (where you can also add images, videos and links). Basically, Snippman isn’t just a place where you can keep all your snippets in order, but where you can also add valuable information about them.
