Better Solution than Evernote for Code Snippets/Examples? [closed]

Question

I'm learning javascript and want to create a library of example code snippets as I learn new ideas. I'm currently using evernote, but am wondering if there is a more elegant solution where I can create a reference library complete with syntax highlighting/executing the code in the browser.

Thoughts/suggestions?

Answer 1

Tried the Evenote Plugin for Sublime3?

You can save new notes, update existing notes, using github style markdown.

Here is an example:

Answer 2

I use

app.gistboxapp.com

You need a GitHub account to login: this app connects to your Gists repository saved into Github and keeps all your code snippets. It's web based so you don't need to download anything. Everytime you save a new snippet GistboxApp will add a Gist to your Github repository.

You can label all your snippets to divide them in categories.

Hope this helps...it works fine for me

I use Evernote as the snippets etc. is primarily from various websites. The web clipper browser plugin lets me create notes right to Evernote with highlighting (as shown on the original website) preserved. Tagging and additional comments along with sharing and the availability (between job/home/mobile in my case) is a very nice addition.

For my own snippets from IDE/editor i usually do a screenshot or if i want to preserve the copy-paste-ability i just add a text/source file to Evernote.

For OS X there is Quiver. It is very similar to Evernote in look and feel and adds many useful code snippets related features.

Quiver is a notebook built for programmers. It lets you easily mix text, code, Markdown and LaTeX within one note, edit code with an awesome code editor, live preview Markdown and LaTeX, and find any note instantly via the full-text search.
