Important Note: Major Migration Occurring...
Hello fellow code monkeys! It’s been a long, long time since the last update but I’ve been hard at work trying to make Snipt.org faster, scalable, and more reliable. What started out as a personal project/experiment in enabling code ubiquity is transforming into something bigger, and better and faster.
In order to ensure you’re most-valued code...
"Recent" Page Temporarily Down
As you may have noticed, a lot is changing here at Snipt.org! The web UI is much better, the site is faster, and embeds have been optimized too! You may have also noticed that the “Recent Snipts” page is gone! I have taken it down temporarily as I work to cleanup and protect the site from spam.
There are some spam countermeasures currently in place, but for some reason the spam keeps...

Slight Hiccup...
I attempted to roll the Snipt refresh to the live servers this weekend (as planned) but unfortunately the data migration ran into a snag and has forced me to postpone the refresh until I can properly port the existing data over to the new structure.
This isn’t anything major, should be resolved in the next day or two. I’ll be posting here as updates are available. Just sit tight,...
A Better Snipt.org is Coming... Tomorrow.
Hey coders! It’s been far too long since my last post! The site update I talked about in my last post got slightly delayed because I have been torn between multiple simultaneous projects, but that’s no excuse!
As you may have noticed (and as @rbarr99 pointed out) Snipt.org twitter logins are down at the moment. This is because twitter has shutdown all support for its...

#ServiceAlert - Login Problems
I have been informed people are having issues logging into Snipt.org today using their Twitter credentials. I’m working on fixing this and it should be taken care of in the next few hours. Just wanted to let everyone know I’m on it! #ServiceAlert
Update: The problem appears to have been on twitter’s end, login is working again! PS I am working on getting oAuth working now ;)
New RSS Features!
It’s been a while but I managed to sneak in some features people have been asking for using the feedback tab.
SniptBox RSS Feeds Alot of people wanted to share the contents of their SniptBox via RSS, well now you can! All SniptBoxes are now equipped with RSS. You can grab the feed by clicking the RSS icon from your SniptBox homepage or via http://box.snipt.org/username/rss.

Oh Yes, Upgrades are Coming!
Ok, so it appears the API was down after the server move, it is back up now. For those of you concerned with authorizing with the API via GET you can use this tool:
http://snipt.org/api/keygen
It will provide you a permanent token for the api based on your twitter credentials, to ensure your info is secure.
Upgrades are one the way. The current #1 is making the site fully IE7/IE8...
Whoa What Happened This Weekend?!
In case you missed it Snipt.org was down over the weekend. This was due to an unfortunate oversight by our [now previous] hosting provider. I’ll post more on the story in the next day or two, after I’m sure I have all of our data secured.
In the meantime Snipt.org is back and running at full steam- on shiny new servers hosted by the good people at rackspace. Again my apologies for the...

If You Bug Us, We Will Fix It
Hey! Hope everyone is enjoying all the new stuff we released last week. Over the weekend we changed a few things to continue our mission to make Snipt.org one of the best pastebins on the net. Thanks to @devmorgan we have updated the Snipt JS Embed to no longer use CSS IDs which he informed us was bad bad bad. Now it uses all CSS-classes so you may need to update your CSS :). Check out his awesome...
Snipt API (and so much more!)
After a short feature-hiatus I’m proud to announce quite a few new things here at Snipt.org. As you may notice we have a sweet new jazzy logo provided by twitter user @miggi. We also have a well designed “extend” page which shows you all the cool new ways you can use Snipt (thanks to @wittyphrasehere).
As far as new features and things to play with there are quite a few-

Easier to Read Code + Categories
You may find a few new things on Snipt when you go to share your code today. There is a new “min/max” feature which will allow you to maximize the width of the code pane to fit more code without scrolling.

Styling the Snipt Embed
The Snipt embed is a powerful tool- it lets you share the code you store here on Snipt.org in other places- like on your blog or on another website. The embed is much more than a simple script though- it is a highly stylable and customizable embedded item.
There are two major styling aspects to the Snipt embed, the container, and the code. Both are fully customizable. In this post I’ll...
More Features from the Lab
There are some new features on Snipt that you might not have seen! Here’s a quick roundup:
Themes! There is now an extendable library of highlighting themes for your code here on Snipt- check it out in the themes section. Do you want a theme you don’t see in the library? Just tweet at me and I’ll add it. These themes will be reflected in embedded versions of the snipt, but can...
Bug Fixes and Upgrades!
Just a small update this time. The Snipt code editor has been upgraded with more robust tabbing support! You may also notice some more descriptive error messages to give you a better idea of whats going on when Snipt runs into problems. Thanks to twitter user @billnega for his valuable feedback!
Additionally we have added “language memory” to the Snipt code editor so you don’t...

Snipt is a tool for developers and non developers alike. It allows you to post long pieces of text or code (Snipts) and share them with people using convenient short URLs. This is useful for things like Twitter and Instant Messaging where being concise is key.
