🚀 I built Snippetly - "Like Spotify, but for code" - Would love your feedback!
Posted by Disastrous-Field-308@reddit | programming | View on Reddit | 2 comments
Hey fellow developers! 👋
After getting frustrated with constantly losing useful code snippets across Stack Overflow, random GitHub repos, and my messy notes, I decided to build something to solve this problem.
What is Snippetly?
TL;DR: A platform to discover, save, and share code snippets with AI-powered explanations. Think of it as Spotify's discovery features but for code - it learns what you like and suggests relevant snippets.
Live Demo: snippetly-lyart.vercel.app (No email confirmation required - you can use a throwaway email to test it out!)
Key Features I've Built So Far:
✅ AI-Powered Code Explanations - Get instant explanations of what any code does
✅ Smart Search - Search by language, tags, or content
✅ Syntax Highlighting - Support for 20+ languages
✅ Community Features - Rate, comment, and favourite snippets
✅ Dark/Light Mode - Because we all have preferences
✅ Copy & Download - One-click actions with analytics
What I'm Planning to Add:
- 🔄 Code optimisation suggestions using AI
- 🧪 Automatic test generation
- ▶️ In-browser code execution
- 📊 Personal analytics dashboard
- 🎯 Collections/Playlists (like Spotify playlists but for code)
- 🔔 Follow developers and get notified of new snippets
The Big Questions I Need Your Help With:
- Would you actually use this? What's missing that would make you use it daily?
- Monetisation thoughts? Would you pay $5-10/month for unlimited AI features, private snippets, and advanced analytics? Or should it stay free with ads?
- Feature priorities? What should I build next? Code execution? Social features? VSCode extension?
- The name - Does "Snippetly" work or is it too generic? Other ideas?
Tech Stack (for the curious):
- Next.js 15 + TypeScript
- Supabase (PostgreSQL + Auth)
- Claude API for AI features
- Tailwind CSS
- Deployed on Vercel
Try It Out:
Create your own account (no email verification needed for testing).
I'm specifically looking for:
- UX pain points
- Features you'd actually pay for
- Bugs (I'm sure there are some!)
- General "would you use this?" feedback
Thanks for reading this far! I know your time is valuable, so I really appreciate any feedback you can give. Roast it, love it, or anything in between

This is a demo of a product or project that isn't on-topic for r/programming. r/programming is a technical subreddit and isn't a place to show off your project or to solicit feedback.
If this is an ad for a product, it's simply not welcome here.
If it is a project that you made, the submission must focus on what makes it technically interesting and not simply what the project does or that you are the author. Simply linking to a github repo is not sufficient
