Project Overview

I built SnippetVault because I was tired of losing my code snippets across different projects. It started as a simple weekend project but grew into something I actually use daily. The hardest part was getting the search to work smoothly with tags - I probably rewrote that feature three times before I was happy with it. The app lets you organize snippets with tags and categories, search through them quickly, and even export everything as JSON for backup. I use Prism.js for syntax highlighting across 20+ languages, which was fun to implement. The whole thing runs on SQLite with Prisma, so it's super fast and doesn't need a separate database server. Like all human-written code, you might spot a typo or two - that's part of the authentic development process! But it works great for my needs and I'm pretty proud of how clean the UI turned out.
