Hey, I'm wrapping up this crazy 2020 with something I've been hacking on during the lockdown. It's a simple, beautiful desktop app for organizing and sharing reusable code. It's been in early access mode for a while now, with just a handful of users, but now it's open for all.

Here is the backstory:

Initially, I built it as a Slack app with DarkLang, which I wrote about in detail here: https://medium.com/@tair/snipy-built-with-dark-no-code-no-se... (whoa, been almost exactly a year ago ;)

But that solution ended up being rather limiting in terms of functionality I wanted to get out of it, usability, and complexity on the backend.

So, during the lockdown, I started from scratch with Electron, React, NextJS, GraphQL, and good ol’ Rails stack in the backend. I have got a full-time job and a family, so I could only work on it for a few hours a week.

I have a bunch of ideas of what to work on next: tighter VSCode integration, bringing back my Slack app, and of course, adding support for Windows & Linux as my first priority (sorry it's only available for Mac users now).

Though, I'd really love to hear what you think I should be working on next?
