I can’t remember how - I just remember what.

Snippy is a software development and maintenance notes manager. It allows organizing and sharing examples and solutions from self hosted or shared storage through command line interface or via REST API server. Snippy may be able to help you for example when working with different open source components that all have different commands, settings and issues.

Features

Main features include:

• Use from Linux command line or from a REST API server as in Heroku example.

• Run with a self-hosted SQLite or shared PostgreSQL database.

• Manage notes in three categories: snippets, solutions and references.

• Supports Markdown, YAML, JSON and text formats.

• Organize notes with metadata like groups, tags and links.
