massCode: A Free and Open-Source Code Snippet Manager
|
||
======
|
||
Brief: An open-source code snippet manager that enables you to dabble with code, improve productivity, and save time.
|
||
|
||
If a tool makes things faster and efficient, that is a life-saver for many developers.
|
||
|
||
While there are different services and platforms that try to make the coding experience quicker, you still have several other options to consider.
|
||
|
||
For instance, a code snippet manager. With a snippet manager, you aim to save a section of code that you want to quickly access. It is more like assigning shortcuts to add the required code in your program.
|
||
|
||
This is not a new concept, but the tools available for the job may not be entirely open-source.
|
||
|
||
Fortunately, I stumbled upon a decent project that provides you with a free and open-source snippet manager, i.e., massCode.
|
||
|
||
### massCode: Cross-Platform Open-Source Snippet Manager
|
||
|
||
![masscode][1]
|
||
|
||
massCode is a useful snippet manager with some essential features.
|
||
|
||
It supports a wide range of programming languages and also includes Markdown support. You can organize the snippets of your code using folders, add tags, and more.
|
||
|
||
massCode is available for Linux, Windows, or macOS. Let’s take a look at some key features.
|
||
|
||
### Features of massCode
|
||
|
||
![masscode screenshot][2]
|
||
|
||
massCode includes many useful functionalities. Some of them are:
|
||
|
||
* Multi-level folder organizer
|
||
* Each snippet can be stored in fragments (tabs)
|
||
* Integrated coding editor, i.e., [Ace][3].
|
||
* Code formatting or highlighting.
|
||
* Markdown support with preview.
|
||
* The ability to search for a snippet.
|
||
* Add descriptions to your snippet to know what it is for.
|
||
* Variety of dark/light themes available.
|
||
* Ability to migrate from [SnippetsLab][4].
|
||
* Auto-save to help you retain your work.
|
||
* Integrate it with cloud synchronization folders.
|
||
* Extension support for VSCode, Raycast, and Alfred.
|
||
|
||
In addition to all the features mentioned, you also get to easily copy the code snippets saved in a single click.
|
||
|
||
For customization, you can tweak the font size and family, toggle Word Wrap, highlight lines, use single quotes, or add a trailing command thanks to [Prettier][5].
|
||
|
||
Moreover, you can have multiple fragments for a snippet. So, it gives you the opportunity to use it for a wide range of use cases.
|
||
|
||
As mentioned, you can also integrate it with any of your cloud syncing services by changing the storage location to the synced folders.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
Overall, it works well, with some limitations, like the ability to migrate nested folders from SnippetsLab to massCode.
|
||
|
||
### Install massCode on Linux
|
||
|
||
massCode is available as a [Snap package][7], but not on the Snap store. You can download the package directly and use the following command to get it installed:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
sudo snap install --dangerous ~/Downloads/masscode_2.6.1_amd64.snap
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
One of our troubleshooting guides can help you know more about the [dangerous snap flag][8].
|
||
|
||
You can download it for Windows/macOS through its [official website][9] or its [GitHub releases section][10].
