Code Snippet Manager

A developer-first snippet management platform that goes beyond basic Gist storage. Organize snippets with tags, folders, and full-text search powered by Elasticsearch. Share snippets with your team, embed them in documentation, and access them from your IDE via extensions. Think of it as Notion for code — structured, searchable, and collaborative.
