✂️ codesnips Live · Self-host

The personal GitHub Gist for developers who keep rewriting the same boilerplate that doesn't phone home.

Snippets with language syntax highlighting, tags, full-text search, and versioning. Organize by project, language, or tag. Share individual snippets via signed read-only links. Keyboard-driven. Fast. Open in a VSCode extension or via clipboard-history-style global hotkey. Your boilerplate stays yours.

What it does

🎨

Syntax highlighting

Pygments-powered highlighting for 100+ languages. Detects from file extension or language tag. Copy-to-clipboard buttons on every snippet.

🏷️

Tags + projects

Tag snippets freely. Group by project. Nested tags if that's your thing. Multi-tag filter on the search page. Stars for frequently-used.

🔍

Full-text search

SQLite FTS across title + body + tags. Find the awk one-liner you wrote 3 years ago without paging through Gists.

📜

Versioning

Every edit keeps a history. See diffs between versions. Restore any prior version. Never lose a tweak.

🔗

Share links

Generate a signed read-only link for a specific snippet. Expires or doesn't, your call. Embeddable in wikis/docs via iframe or raw URL.

🔒

Actually yours

Flask + SQLite. Runs on a laptop, a Pi, or a $5 VPS. Your 'don't-copy-this-to-a-public-gist' snippets stay private because there's no public cloud.
