Do you keep them in your IDE, or elsewhere? Do you have an app for that? Are they easily shared?

I realized I have no system at all but could use one to make it easier to find code I've written and might need again some day.

By snippets, I am referring to any chunk of code / text in any format or language, of any length.

Thanks!

EDIT A DAY LATER: Thanks you all! Reading all these ideas, I got inspired to create my own little web app. Wish me luck... :)

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking, and you are right that automation wouldn’t be hard… although if I’m setting up that automation I’ll fail to commit to the deletion and just move the files to an archive folder. 😳

I only adopted Obsidian recently and only because I liked the idea of the data being stored as plain text files. I really haven’t adopted any system, just replaced Apple Notes.
