The Hidden Cost of Lost Snippets (and Why I Built My Own Tool to Fix It)

If you're a developer, you’ve probably experienced this:

You know you wrote that regex somewhere...

You remember saving that config...

But now it’s lost in a jungle of notes, Gists, or old projects.

This started happening to me so often that it became a genuine productivity blocker.
So instead of wasting time every day hunting down my own code, I decided to build something for it.

🚀 Introducing SnippKit – a simple snippet manager designed for devs like us.

Here’s what I wanted from a tool:

Lightning-fast saving with keyboard flow

Tags + language filters

Private & public snippets

Clean UI (no clutter!)

Works across devices

And honestly... just fun to use

I use it daily now — to save:

Setup configs

Tailwind/React/Vue/Next.js components

Regex I never want to write again 😅

Deployment or build scripts

One-liners I always forget

It’s now live on Product Hunt:

If you’re tired of rewriting the same code again and again, or want a better system for your snippets, I’d love for you to try it out.

Would really appreciate feedback — and if you’re building a tool like this yourself, let’s connect.

Let’s spend less time digging and more time building 🧠💻
