SnippetsToGo is a Flasked-based web application that helps manage your code snippets. Install it on your server and access your code from anywhere.
See read-only demo here.
I've been searching around for some tool that could manage my code snippets either locally or "on the cloud" and is able to:
- Support tags/labels on snippets.
- Support syntax highlighting.
- Fully support Markdown. I've seen Markdown supported by a couple of tools but the content doesn't get rendered when users just view (not edit) the snippets.
- Full-text search over snippet's title and content.
However I failed to find a free or open source solution. When you can't find the tool you need, why not just create one ?
SnippetsToGo is dead simple and not built to deal with large amount of data. Powered by Whoosh, a pure-Python search engine, SnippetsToGo should be able to handle thousands of snippets. But if you plan to move toward something more scalable and reliable, it's a better idea to plug Elasticsearch or Solr in.
Beside Flask and Whoosh as the only two main third-party libraries on server side, this project uses PrimerCSS, Highlight.js, CodeMirror, marked and jQuery for client side.
pip and virtualenv FTW:
$ virtualenv --no-site-packages venv
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
First step is to create an index folder for Whoosh:
$ ./setup.py
Then start the web server in "quick and dirty" mode (mostly for development):
$ ./quick_run.py
Or running with uwsgi:
$ uwsgi --http-socket 0.0.0.0:8080 -w app:app
Or running with uwsgi under virtual environment:
$ uwsgi --http-socket 0.0.0.0:8080 --virtualenv venv -w app:app
