I stash my snips! A developer snippet manager built to save, organize and find code fast.
Every developer accumulates dozens of useful code snippets. A regex that finally worked, a MongoDB aggregation pipeline, a Flask decorator you keep rewriting from scratch. They end up scattered across Notion pages, random .txt files and old Stack Overflow tabs.
StashSnip keeps them in one place tagged, searchable and always one click away.
- Save snippets with title, language, description and tags
- Search by keyword across title and description
- Filter by language or tag
- Syntax highlighting via highlight.js
- Copy to clipboard in one click
- Edit and delete snippets
- Custom delete modal with snippet name confirmation
- Auto dismissing flash messages
| Layer | Technology |
|---|---|
| Backend | Python, Flask |
| Database | MongoDB Atlas + PyMongo |
| Frontend | HTML, CSS, Vanilla JS |
| Forms | Flask-WTF |
| Syntax Highlighting | highlight.js |
| Version Control | Git + GitHub |
