Show HN: VS Code extension to share code snippets instantly

https://snippetshare.dev
27•petermukha•7mo ago
Instantly share code snippets from VS Code with shortcut. Supports all programming languages. No sign-up, no hassle. Perfect for quick code reviews, debugging, or showing off your work.

Comments

LandR•7mo ago
In VS Code, everything lines up. The start of the code is on the same column as the start of the comment, but in the snippetshare its tabbed in ?

https://snippetshare.dev/c/MuiWWZknPgkRGFf4bt1LAD3m2zAP5Irwp...

Nice extension, I can see me using this :)

panchenko91•7mo ago
Thanks for pointing that out! You're right - the indentation looks a bit off in SnippetShare compared to VS Code. I’ll take a look and see if we can make it match better. Appreciate the feedback!
panchenko91•7mo ago
That bug’s been fixed - it should work correctly for new snippets now. Appreciate you catching that!
W0lfEagle•7mo ago
Something is interfering with scroll on your website. Let's please all stop letting things interfere with scrolling. This could definitely just be a personal preference but even Apple, who should be able to do it well, fills the page with scroll effects that just don't feel good. Especially on mobile which by now is the primary device for web browsing. Rant over. I'm sure it's not the authors fault and just some unnecessary code in the template. I came for the snippet share because I was intrigued. The info on the site didn't really explain what to expect. It shows me how to install it but what does it do? Put an example link maybe? Does it create an image? Does it link back to remote repo?
panchenko91•7mo ago
Thanks so much for the honest feedback- really appreciate you taking the time to share it. I’ll definitely look into the scroll behavior on mobile and clean up anything unnecessary. Also noted that the purpose of the site isn’t very clear - I’ll work on a better explanation and add a live example link.

Thanks again!!

Xss3•7mo ago
Did you update it already? Scrolling feels good in ff on mobile
panchenko91•7mo ago
Not yet, the fix is still on my to-do list. Glad to hear scrolling works well on mobile Firefox!
heckelson•7mo ago
I see what you mean - it's like scrolling through molasses!

VS Code GistPad extension: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vsls-con...
panchenko91•7mo ago
Yeah, GistPad is solid! I built something similar but focused more on quick sharing and a cleaner, read-only view. Simpler and faster for lightweight use cases.
v9v•7mo ago
What advantages does copying and pasting this snippet link have over copying and pasting the code? Syntax highlighting?
panchenko91•7mo ago
Great question! The main advantage is quick sharing with syntax highlighting and a clean read-only view. It’s also easier to reference in chats or discussions.
jp1016•7mo ago
i had a similar idea and created https://codekeep.io , it also has an option to generate screenshots of code https://codekeep.io/screenshot
panchenko91•7mo ago
Nice! Just checked out CodeKeep looks really cool, especially the screenshot feature. Love seeing different takes on the same idea!
SeanDav•7mo ago
Teams / Slack etc allow instant code snippet sharing. As far as syntax highlighting goes - 5 seconds after someone receives your code snippet they can copy and paste into their own editor.

No need to install YAVSCE (Yet another VS Code Extension)

This in probably more a reflection of my constant journey towards KISS and in no way is meant to be disrespectful about the extension.

Your website adds "discovering". How do you discover snippets with this? Is there a list of shared snippets? Or do you have to be given a specific link to see one?
panchenko91•7mo ago
Good point! At the moment, snippets can only be viewed if you have the link there’s no public list or explore page yet. I used “discovering” more in the sense of easily sharing and revisiting, but yeah, I get how that might sound confusing. Thanks for bringing it up!
bko•7mo ago
I would add a link to a shareable snippet to see what it looks like
panchenko91•7mo ago
Thanks for the suggestion! That’s a great idea! I’ll add a sample snippet link so people can preview what it looks like without having to create one first. Appreciate the feedback!!
nbk_2000•7mo ago
I was thinking the same. In the meantime, here you go: https://snippetshare.dev/c/aoNWbZvSlYkJtGDHnQLohY4BnHd6hGgk8...
