Inspiration

Working In a Team, has it’s own challenges. Especially sharing and managing Code Snippets!

We need a Managed & Secure Access to frequently used code snippets. As the Enterprise or within the Team, one has to ensure the confidentiality of code snippets. And, As a developer, it is important to find the right code snippet, at the right time.

We, as developers, tend to keep on searching code snippets while implementing a given functionality, which we ourselves would have created in past. And so, we believe that a centralized Code Snippet Manager can help to code efficiently. However, the library has to be secure, in order to protect what we develop!

And so, we present jSnippy. Your Code Snippet Manager, right within Your Visual Studio Team Services.

What it does

jSnippy is your Code Snippet Manager for your Team, which manages Code Snippets for your team in a secure manner and with an easy to search interface. Get the Right piece of Code, at the right time.

As a team member, you can contribute by creating Code Snippets to the repository. jSnippy provides an Editor to write your code in, with in-built Java language syntax highlighting.

Your team members can easily search for Code Snippets through a powerful tag and full text search based search engine, and use them in their modules.

That's how coding gets easier...!

For Java based Teams, jSnippy also provides an option to import commonly used code snippets on first time load. Start using snippets out of the box.
