canSnippet: cansnippet.com

It's a snippet/clipboard manager for macOS. I worked on that project a few years ago and sold a dozen copies. I still use it every day and I feel like it could be helpful to many other users. That's why I decided to have a look at it again, start by updating a bit the code and also providing a Linux and Windows version, let's see how much time I can dedicate to it. What makes canSnippet really useful is the powerful keyboard shortcuts to create from and use a snippet in any app.


canSnippet (cansnippet.com), an advanced snippet/clipboard manager. I sold a dozen copies of the app without any marketing and then moved away from it. It's a tool I still use every day and feel it's a pity that I couldn't put more effort on it as I believe it has a huge potential!


canSnippet is an alternative I developed some time ago. You can use: - the Desktop version (macOS only, no cloud) http://cansnippet.com/ - the community edition (open source webapp) http://cansnippet.org/

You can see a running instance (in French) here https://cansnippet.bioinfo-fr.net/

Let me know if you have any question :)


Thanks for the reply. I actually wanted something already hosted so that I could host my code on their service and share it on my blog.


I always start with https://html5up.net/ where you have a nice selection of free HTML5+CSS templates! I hope it helps.


Ex-bioinformatician here :) I had a very similar idea during my post-doc but gave up as I realized how difficult it was to deal with research groups (labs). They would usually just hire an intern bioinformatician using grant (or extra) money instead of dealing with an external company. I am only talking about Switzerland, I don't know what the situation is in other places. You can check these two companies and maybe reach out to ask some questions: - https://genexa.ch/ - https://www.fasteris.com/dna/ Good luck!



I am the developer of canSnippet, a macOS (https://www.cansnippet.com/) and web-based (https://www.cansnippet.org/) snippet management tool. canSnippet allows the user to easily save and reuse pieces of useful code/text.

In addition to the code itself, canSnippet also support tags and a description for your snippet.


I always refer to the following tutorial ('Git - the simple guide - no deep shit!') when I am blocked https://rogerdudler.github.io/git-guide/


I love the ones from HTML5UP, they are free, open source and really beautiful https://html5up.net/


I am a big fan of Solarized (http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized) which I also use for Atom.
