Snippi
A super awesome snippet tool.
- 1.
Welcome to Snippi. A super-awesome, super-simple snippet tool.
- 2.
Using Snippi couldn't be any simpler, but hey, we all get stuck sometimes right? It's nothing to be ashamed of Boris. Here are some instructions.

- 5.
/* -- Creating a New Snippet -- */
- 6.
- 7.
To create a new snippet, simply paste (or type) your code into this notepad. When creating a new snippet, "Enter or copy & paste your content here" will be displayed, you know, just to clear up any confusion.
- 8.
- 9.
In the sidebar (over there on the right) you can add a title for your snippet. It's totally optional. You can see on this particular snippet I've used the ingenious title "What is this Snippi thing and how do I use it?"
- 10.
- 11.
If you're into syntax highlighting, select a language from the drop down menu. This isn't totally right just yet and yeah we're missing a few languages but hey, we need some sleep. Plain text will be ok in the meantime, right?
- 12.
- 13.
Finally, if you want the snippet to expire, set a time limit from the dropdown. Once your chosen time period has been reached, the snippet will be purged from the system. Ooh-er Mrs!
- 14.
- 15.
Now press "Save Snippet".
- 16.

/* -- Adding Comments to a Snippet -- */
- 19.
- 20.
For 15 mins after a snippet has been created, you can add comments to it by doing the following:
- 21.
- 22.
1. Click and drag over the lines of content you would like to
- 23.
add a comment to.
- 24.
2. When you have finished dragging, a comment box will magically
- 25.
appear in the sidebar. Use this box to write something.
- 26.
3. If you want to cancel your comment, hit "Cancel", otherwise
- 27.
click "Save Comment" and your comment will be saved. Hurrah!
- 28.
- 29.
Note: You can delete a comment by clicking "Delete Comment" after it has been saved. You'll also notice I've added a comment to these lines just because I can.
- 30.
- 31.
- 32.
/* -- Sharing Your Snippet -- */
- 33.
- 34.
We've saved the most difficult part until last. Copy the URL of your snippet page and give it to a buddy.
- 35.
- 36.
That is all.
- 37.
- 38.
- 39.
Happy snippeting. (That's not even a word.)
