Looking for a decent snippet app
Snip and tot are awesome... the first is free and uses githum gists to sync things, the second I love since it gives me a couple quick blocks to keep things on both mac and ios If you need more I was using CodeSpace to keep all my php, js, py scripts handy. Source: about 2 years ago

Help…I’m slightly embarrassed to post this…but could anyone look at my profile and let me know if there are any “newbie red flags”. I’ve fallen in love with Python and decided to post projects from the classes I’ve taken. I’ve got more advanced projects to post and still have some project cleaning!

I looked at Github gists, but they are focused in displaying the markdown sourcecode (so e.g. Hyperlinks won't be clickable [1] ). Options just don't seem to be focused on simply hosting PDFs/information with clickable references. Source: over 2 years ago
