Sometime i wonder why some little helpers for programming in daily business, are hidden to me under some stones.

So today i found such a nice little helper, called Snippets, I read about it on this german blog, so thank you ad for point me directly to this tool!

Who else can describe this little tool better that the devs:

Snippets is an application for Mac OS X that stores the most valuable pieces of your code you can re-use in different projects many times.

The main idea is to make the process of re-using as easy as possible to avoid wasting your valuable time to write the same code again.

It even has support for external editors. TextMate is the editor I use, if I’m not developing with Ares, and this tool really makes snippet-collecting easy. You can also post some code directly into a Mail (if you’re using Mail.app).

Support for public code-sharing on pastie.org or snipplr.com is also included.

So if you’re a developer or a web-site designer who needs some code again and again, try it out.  I use this tool now for only a few hours, but I’m very impressed! It’s even free until version 1.0 (now we have 0.8) It only has one disadvantage if you’re not using Mac OS X 10.6 (aka Snow Leopard), you cant use it only on Snow Leopard. But hey! Thats not a real problem eh?

So if you also have some little tools that you use for your development, that you think its worth to be suggested, post it in the comments.

And no! I get no money, or something else for mentioning this here.
