snipt.dev — Search engine for code snippets
Featured

snipt.dev is a search engine for code snippets. Instead of fishing for code to reuse on Stackoverflow, Sourcegraph or GitHub developers can enter what they are looking for and find safe and reusable code they can copy in their IDE.

Hello Product Hunt! Thanks, Joonas for hunting us! I am really really excited to present our new product: snipt.dev. This product is for all software engineers at all levels. As a software engineer with a few years of experience, I often do not remember how to do something (for example, iterate over a dictionary in Python or handle an exception in a future in Scala) and end up wasting minutes looking up on Google/StackOverflow how to do it. That is why I built snipt.dev. snipt.dev is the search engine for code snippets. Put what you want to do and snipt.dev suggests code snippets to use. This first product shows our search engine for code snippets, which will be the foundation of our next product that lets developers search, create, and share snippets from their IDE. We really hope you enjoy this product as much as we do and we would love to hear your feedback! Thanks ✌

hey, Joonas! I love it 💙 Congratulations on the Launch! Is there a way to add a "Discover" page? To keep me scrolling and discovering snippets?
Julien Delange
Thanks for checking out snipt.dev! Having a "Discover" page is a great idea we should definitely implement it!

A great product overall. I mostly explored Rust snippet and was impressed when I saw a snippet directly taken from a Rust book, I was hoping that you folks were using a complex algorithm to fetch snippets from the web but i was disappointed when I found out that you were manually adding snippets to codiga rust recipes and then fetching it. I would suggest using tools such as OpenAI to get snippets directly from the web instead of manually adding them in your next iteration. Kudos to the team for developing this project.

Being passionate about developer productivity and learning while tinkering with frameworks and libraries, I bumped to Codiga and the really cool code snippet search engine they built. Lets have Julien, founder of Codiga, the company that built snipt.dev to explain this: We built snipt.dev because we found that the ecosystem around Code Snippets is fragmented and hard to find a snippet. Developers often google, go on stackoverflow or sourcegraph to fish for code they can reuse. We wanted to have a one-stop-shop where developers can find code snippets quickly. With snipt.dev you can look for snippets quickly and copy them directly in your IDE. snipt.dev includes a semantic search engine that finds the snippets for the language and library you target. If you enter “react typescript”, it will only surface snippets for the TypeScript language and the react framework. The engine works well for JavaScript, TypeScript and Python and we are working on supporting more languages. We implemented this semantic search feature to be quick and provide an answer in a few milliseconds. We built this product on top of Codiga, our Coding Assistant product where developers can create, share snippets from their IDE. Developers can automatically add more snippets on snipt.dev by submitting snippets on Codiga. We would love to hear your thoughts on the product, how we can improve and make the most useful products for developers. Thanks ✌

Great! *_* Seems that snipt.dev can really give you a great insights, ideas and suggestions, what can definitely speed up the process of creation, and put an ease in the development steps.. *_* Congrats on the launch! ^_^

Seems like it will be useful for even non-programmers who know a thing or two about it. Congrats on the launch!
Julien Delange
@shreya_r_nambiar Thank you! And yes, while we are targeting junior developers at first we also believe that can be useful to more experienced ones as we often forget simple programming techniques too (and I admit I do! 😅)

Look interesting. Sometimes I take a lot of time to find some codes that I saw somewhere for use. Hope this can help with my case. Congratulations on the Launch!!!!

I really liked the search feature. It suggests code snippets on the go.

This product is so helpful in making things bit easier for developers. I was struggling with searching for Different Meta Tags (like OpenGraph, Twitter) that are required for better SEO. And guess what, I found it by searching "meta" and quickly used it for my NextJS Project.. It saved a good amount of time, going through stackoverflow, and looking for code..

Congratulations on the launch, Julien!
Julien Delange
@imgracehuang Thank you!
Cyrus Gracias
Interesting! If I could find snippets for isSameDay, isSameWeek dates comparison in vanilla JS It would've been great
Pranav Goel
I really liked the concept and the execution, looks amazing, I feel the home page can be improved with a mini guide/ how-to for the user to understand how to give queries, and maybe even use the bottom space under the search bar for most searched snippets, it'll make it look more appealing!
Julien Delange
@iiproii thank you for reviewing our product! This is really good feedback and we are going to improve the product giving hints on how to make great search queries!
