If you want to get straight to it, the best tool to save code snippets is thiscodeWorks.com.

About two years ago when I was learning to code, I was spending way too much time searching for snippets on Google and a little too much time writing down those snippets that worked into my notebook.

Why not use a notes app you say? I tried them. I did. But they’d disappear. Just like my notes, my snippets would get buried and disappear below new snippets that’d get saved at the top. What I liked about writing them was I could flip through a few pages and visually search through my snippets. Half the time I can’t even remember what title/name I give to a snippet, so a search bar was never handy. I had to see them.

But as I continued to code and the pages kept growing, this was clearly not a good solution. Not to mention that I had to manually type the snippet every time I needed them.

So as I was discovering the superpower of code and learning I could solve pretty much any problem with code, I immediately knew what I needed to build: a tool to save and organize code snippets.

What I didn’t expect was other people to start using it and loving it as much as I do. I’ve found an incredible group of users (or rather they found me), and they constantly share suggestions and feedback that have made the app so much better than I could’ve ever imagined.

With the help of the community at thiscodeWorks, here’s five ways we’ve built it in a way that makes it the best tool to save code snippets online.
