Future Plans for Snippem đź”®

As Snippem continues to evolve, we’re excited to share some of our upcoming plans. These features and improvements aim to enhance your code-snippet workflow, provide deeper collaboration tools, and leverage the latest in AI-driven development assistance.

1. VS Code Integration

  • Extension
    We plan to create a dedicated extension for Visual Studio Code. This will allow you to create, save, and retrieve your Snippem code snippets directly within the IDE, without ever leaving your coding environment.

  • Open in Editor
    Shared snippets will have an "Open in VS Code" button, letting you launch your local editor straight from a Snippem share link. This streamlines your workflow by skipping manual copy-pastes and focusing on immediate coding or debugging.

2. Collaboration

  • Teams
    Snippem will introduce "Teams", enabling you to invite collaborators into a shared workspace. Snippets created within a team will be viewable and editable by all team members, making it easy to coordinate on larger projects. (This may be part of a Pro feature set.)

  • Comments
    We plan to add a commenting system on shared snippet pages, allowing you and your collaborators to discuss ideas, provide feedback, or note improvements directly next to the code.

3. Miscellaneous

  • Save Shared Snippets
    Sometimes you discover a snippet via a shared link and realize it’s exactly what you need. We’ll offer a one-click “Save to Library” option so you can instantly import any shared snippet into your personal Snippem library.

  • Code Diff & Comparison

    Implemented as of March 28th 2025

    When using AI to improve or refactor your snippets, you’ll be able to view a side-by-side diff. This will highlight the changes between your original code and the AI-improved version, making it easier to understand what’s been updated and why.

  • Advanced Editor Errors
    Implement rich language support, providing syntax errors as well as deeper errors. This will make it easier to implement snippets as debugging them becomes trivial.

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to refine Snippem and roll out these features. Our goal is to make your code-snippet workflow more efficient, collaborative, and innovative. As always, we welcome your feedback and suggestions!
