Hi all! In the days of remote work, we found that sharing code can be a frustrating process of having to jump on screenshares, share images over Slack, have our text become unformatted when we paste it in chat boxes, and more. We built a quick and dirty, internal tool (MacOS menubar app) which utilizes GitHub Gists since they are already so easy to read, format, and comment on, and allows you to create a Gist instantly just by copying the code or files you want, pressing the hotkey (Cmd+Opt+g) and pasting the link which is copied to your clipboard to share with others. This project is open source and free, we encourage you to make it better, and if you're interested in similar remote tools leave your email on the site! Special thank you to the folks who worked on the gist gem including @conrad_irwin2 for inspiration.
