Hey everyone, how are you?
About a year ago we started working on the new project. We’ve taken an idea of Snippets and built a new, more powerful service. Today I’d like to introduce it to you.
But first of all I’d like to say THANK YOU to all of you for support. It couldn’t be possible without you.
We decided to turn Snippets into a platform with the apps for Mac and Windows and the cloud for syncing and providing additional services such as sharing either privately or publicly. Our future plans are to release web app as well as the app for the iPad.
With the new project we are moving away from the domain snippetsapp.com to snippets.me. This is not only better and simpler domain, the main reason of doing that is that Snippets is not just a simple Mac app anymore.
Apps we are releasing today are early featureless alpha versions. Our main concern for now is to implement syncing because it is the core of the apps and it is the hardest feature. When we ensure sync is working properly we will be rolling out more features.
With the new project we also designed a new logo. Here is how it looks like:
I’d like to invite you to try the apps and sync, please report any problems you are experiencing. We’ve also created a special section on our new website that allows you to suggest your ideas and vote on others suggestions, so, we can see what most of you want.
For the further updates and announcements please take a look and subscribe at our new website at snippets.me.

I have syncing. It’s called Dropbox. What I don’t have is an improved Snippets app.
What is happening with the original app? Are you going to add sync support?
The new version of the original app is the new app. It already supports sync. Please read more in our new blog http://blog.snippets.me/2012/07/some-clarifications-about-old-and-new.html.
Can I import the snippet.xml with all my thousands snippets from the old app to the new one? I
Not yet, when the new app will be more feature complete we will support Import/Export.
After reading about the history of Snippets and that other app. I can’t help but feel indignant – I can’t imagine how you feel. I will not use the other app. I look forward to what you invent here.
Thanks Mike, we are very excited about the features in our milestone. Can’t want to release them :)
What about dropbox in the new app? or my own place. I don’t want to sync to other places then those.
No. The reason is simple — we want to make more than just sync.
