An excellent tool for snippet management that developers and administrators can use

UPDATE2: This continues to be a very helpful tool in my development kit. Thanks to a very wide array of supported languages (colors are pretty) the types of snippets I am keeping has expanded. I took a chance buying V1 when it was first released and continue to be very happy with what I have.

Each and every release since I first purchased it has been gold. The development team seems to have a good roadmap for features including an appropriate delivery order. This release provides several features and refinements that arrive right in time for me as my organization and refinement of snippets grows and matures.

Overall, this is a excellent tool for a full end-to-end management of “snippets” which for me can be chunks of code and even configuration. For example, I have created a Snippet for proper configuration and setup of a GIT Server. The tool lets you have one or many tabs within a snippet so I can have separate chunks of code or in this case, configuration. Each tab can have a note describing what is in the tab. By the time you are done (which goes very quickly) you have something that reads like a quick start guide. All code is presented in a beautiful way with color highlighting and readable fonts.

Since purchaing this app earlier this year I have been refining my organization in more meaningful ways and use my database of knowledge regularly. I am also discovering that this has more uses then just code and config snippets. I think students can use this for notes and quick facts. This is only possible because it is a well thought out tool that has become a part of my 5 core tools I use daily.

The features you get for the low cost makes this an easy choice for any kind of quick access information. And due to the regular releases from the development team, I can only imagine the useful and powerful thing to come.
