Snippets Blog

Since the latest Snippets update Apple has released the next version of OS X with some new features such as full-screen apps. We've got a lot of requests for that and we decided to release minor version along the way to 2.0.

So, today we are happy to releas Snippets 1.4 (read the release notes here) with some new features, improvements and bugfixes. Check for update and enjoy.

Snippets.sugar 1.0.1 (download) is available for those of you who use Snippets together with Espresso. There were a small logic problem when in some conditions you weren’t able to create a snippet right from Espresso. Thanks to Ian Beck from MacRabbit and our users.

Also, Snippets.sugar source code is now open-sourced and it is hosted on Github.

In the latest release of Snippets we have introduced a new feature called Snippets Expander. This feature allows you to expand a short trigger string assigned to any snippet right in your IDE. This is an initial release and it can be improved a lot. We’d like to get your feedback to make it better.

There are couple of things to consider about future improvements of this feature:

Hey guys, no jokes today :) Snippets 1.3 is here!

We’ve been working on the next major release for a while. It takes a lot of time and requires a lot more, so, we decided not to wait until a huge 2.0 update is ready and make a release with the features that are ready to use now.

Let’s walk through some of them.

Some of you have noticed about very similar app available on Mac App Store called CodeBox. To clarify this situation I’ll tell you a little bit of history. Back in early 2009 I got an idea for storing and managing of code snippets. Since I am a web developer I invited Vadim to join and develop Snippets for Mac. He didn’t even know what snippet itself were, but he was ready to join this project to help implementing of my ideas.

Since then many things have happened. I think we’ve built great product for developers who love using Snippets, we know it from your feedback :). We even took runner-up position on Ars Design Award in category “Most Innovative Mac OS X App”. There were some other applications like snippets before our launch, but Snippets became the best and most innovative product. Thank you very much for your support.

Hey everyone!

Snippets is used by a large number of developers who code in different languages. And they always wanted an ability to save their snippets too. To be honest, support for custom syntax highlights was the most popular feature request. And today we are publishing version 1.2 with this feature.

Hi folks! Last month we've been working hard on some new features, and today we are releasing an update 1.1.1. As always you can find all details at our page Release Notes. And here we are going to discuss the most interesting stuff.

You might have heard that one of the most popular services for snippet sharing — Snipplr — has been acquired by Envato who run many great web sites including Mac.AppStorm and tuts+ network.

This is also great news for us because new owners were kind to make a personal developer page for Snippets and we are finally on Snipplr!

We are extremely excited about an upcoming World Wide Developers Conference 2010. Coincidentally we have one of the most innovative products for developers.

So today we are happy to announce a Week of Discounts! Please find a list of simple rules below.

One of the best things about being a mac development company is to have a community of users who constantly help you to improve a product.

Last week we asked you to take a survey that will help us in a future development and deciding on features. And now it is time to thank you for voting. Please meet the final statistics!

One of the most requested features for Snippets application was an ability to use Dropbox for syncing between computers and sharing snippets between co-workers. After releasing 1.0 we were working hard on both of these features. And now we are ready to go with release 1.1.

With Snippets we tend to make a process of collecting, organizing and reusing of code snippets as simple as possible. So, while we are working on upcoming release that will bring some exciting features, let's take a look at one more handful way to collect snippets. This is Snippets Bookmarklet.

Some of you might use other snippet applications before Snippets. So we made utility allowing to import snippet libraries from other applications.

We have been working on Snippets for a long time. We had worked in private on the Snippets core for some months, then we published our first public alpha version on last October 2009. And now, after the app has been in development for about one year, we believe it is the time to release version 1.0.

Yes we are so excited: finally, this is our LAUNCH!

In this post, we are going to explain how our community helped us, announce our new company name, web site and logo, and of course announce Snippets price.

TextMate is one of the most popular code editors for Mac OS X. If you use it for development, you should probably know the concept and power of its Bundles. Today I'd like to tell you about the Snippets bundle for TextMate.

Last week we published another Update 0.8 for the Snippets application. This version introduced a brand-new feature named Scrippets. You may already have read a little introduction posted here.

Anyway, we have decided to make a full-featured presentation that should give you a deeper explanation of what Scrippets are and what tasks are they intended for.

How are you doing guys? Are you ready for some new stuff?

We are releasing the Snippets 0.8 update today. This version brings some exciting features that we are happy to introduce.

After our recent release, we have got quite a bit of feedback on the new features. With today's release of Snippets 0.7.6, we attempt to address the most frequent requests and bug reports. Please find all the details about new search panel, global menu improvements, and keyboard shortcuts below.

Hi everyone!

Today we are extremely happy to show you the features you wanted the most. Yes, we implemented them! Our new steaming 0.7.4 release includes such long-awaited features as Dockless mode, global shortcut, and some new popular syntax highlights. So, one by one…

Hey folks!

Today we are announcing some useful features that have been added since the last release. Your great feedback since the version 0.5 gave us a lot of exciting ideas and we have already implemented part of them. We are going to talk about global menu integration, label management, and refined inspector UI. So, one by one…

What do you do when you browse the web and meet a brilliant code snippet? A good idea would be to store it quickly so you can find it later.

Snippets application helps you do just that and provides a number of ways to add new code into the Library. First, you can drag & drop the text content right into the Snippets main window. Next, you can drag & drop right into the application Dock icon. And finally, Snippets application is fully integrated with Mac OS X Services.
