I am very happy today to introduce you to canSnippet. canSnippet is an open source web-based application to save and share your code snippets. It is my first “big” project, thus I would like to have as many comments and feedback as possible. Please don’t hesitate to contact me for any question or remark, I will be happy to answer. For this project I used the CC BY license (I am also moving my whole blog under the same license), more information in the creative common by 4.0 page.
I used the following technologies for canSnippet : HTML, PHP, Javascript and sqlite.
