snipt.dev - Search engine for code snippets

Hello Product Hunt! Thanks, Joonas for hunting us! I am really really excited to present our new product: snipt.dev. This product is for all software engineers at all levels. As a software engineer with a few years of experience, I often do not remember how to do something (for example, iterate over a dictionary in Python or handle an exception in a future in Scala) and end up wasting minutes looking up on Google/StackOverflow how to do it. That is why I built snipt.dev. snipt.dev is the search engine for code snippets. Put what you want to do and snipt.dev suggests code snippets to use. This first product shows our search engine for code snippets, which will be the foundation of our next product that lets developers search, create, and share snippets from their IDE. We really hope you enjoy this product as much as we do and we would love to hear your feedback! Thanks ✌

hey, Joonas! I love it 💙 Congratulations on the Launch! Is there a way to add a "Discover" page? To keep me scrolling and discovering snippets?

It's an interesting idea and I love this product. All the best!

This is cool. Congrats on the launch!

Seems like it will be useful for even non-programmers who know a thing or two about it. Congrats on the launch!

So sick! Anything to improve dev productivity just has such a huge effect. If a dev makes even $120k and you improve his/her productivity by 5%, that's $6k/yr.

This context-aware StackOverflow looks pretty exciting! Congratulations on the launch, looking forward to using it in VS Code!

I really liked the concept and the execution, looks amazing, I feel the home page can be improved with a mini guide/ how-to for the user to understand how to give queries, and maybe even use the bottom space under the search bar for most searched snippets, it'll make it look more appealing!

Being passionate about developer productivity and learning while tinkering with frameworks and libraries, I bumped to Codiga and the really cool code snippet search engine they built. Lets have Julien, founder of Codiga, the company that built snipt.dev to explain this: We built snipt.dev because we found that the ecosystem around Code Snippets is fragmented and hard to find a snippet. Developers often google, go on stackoverflow or sourcegraph to fish for code they can reuse. We wanted to have a one-stop-shop where developers can find code snippets quickly. With snipt.dev you can look for snippets quickly and copy them directly in your IDE. snipt.dev includes a semantic search engine that finds the snippets for the language and library you target. If you enter “react typescript”, it will only surface snippets for the TypeScript language and the react framework. The engine works well for JavaScript, TypeScript and Python and we are working on supporting more languages. We implemented this semantic search feature to be quick and provide an answer in a few milliseconds. We built this product on top of Codiga, our Coding Assistant product where developers can create, share snippets from their IDE. Developers can automatically add more snippets on snipt.dev by submitting snippets on Codiga. We would love to hear your thoughts on the product, how we can improve and make the most useful products for developers. Thanks ✌

It looks useful, thanks for the free tool.

Congratulations on the launch, Julien!

Congratulations @juli1pb! Product looks amazing. Will be recommending it to everyone on my team. This is going to be so helpful for all the developers who are just starting out.

I am in love with the idea of this product. Being a developer, I am always in the need of getting code snippets for making my life a bit easier. I believe snipt.dev will help me overcome this issue. As I am much into Android Development, it would be great to get code snippets for Android as well (preferably in Kotlin) in future updates so that all the android devs out there could also benefit from the product without having to look and waste time finding code snippets online.

It looks so good! I already tried it with some searches and it is incredible. Just this week I was looking for something similar. Incredibly useful, thank you very much for this!

Look interesting. Sometimes I take a lot of time to find some codes that I saw somewhere for use. Hope this can help with my case. Congratulations on the Launch!!!!

5/5 !

This is amazing. Congratulations!

A great product overall. I mostly explored Rust snippet and was impressed when I saw a snippet directly taken from a Rust book, I was hoping that you folks were using a complex algorithm to fetch snippets from the web but i was disappointed when I found out that you were manually adding snippets to codiga rust recipes and then fetching it. I would suggest using tools such as OpenAI to get snippets directly from the web instead of manually adding them in your next iteration. Kudos to the team for developing this project.

I really liked the search feature. It suggests code snippets on the go.

This is amazing! I love it 🧡 Congratulations on the Launch!
