It's a snippet/clipboard manager for macOS. I worked on that project a few years ago and sold a dozen copies. I still use it every day and I feel like it could be helpful to many other users. That's why I decided to have a look at it again, start by updating a bit the code and also providing a Linux and Windows version, let's see how much time I can dedicate to it.
What makes canSnippet really useful is the powerful keyboard shortcuts to create from and use a snippet in any app.
canSnippet (cansnippet.com), an advanced snippet/clipboard manager. I sold a dozen copies of the app without any marketing and then moved away from it. It's a tool I still use every day and feel it's a pity that I couldn't put more effort on it as I believe it has a huge potential!
canSnippet is an alternative I developed some time ago. You can use:
- the Desktop version (macOS only, no cloud) http://cansnippet.com/
- the community edition (open source webapp) http://cansnippet.org/
Ex-bioinformatician here :)
I had a very similar idea during my post-doc but gave up as I realized how difficult it was to deal with research groups (labs). They would usually just hire an intern bioinformatician using grant (or extra) money instead of dealing with an external company. I am only talking about Switzerland, I don't know what the situation is in other places. You can check these two companies and maybe reach out to ask some questions:

Good luck!
I am the developer of canSnippet, a macOS (https://www.cansnippet.com/) and web-based (https://www.cansnippet.org/) snippet management tool. canSnippet allows the user to easily save and reuse pieces of useful code/text.
In addition to the code itself, canSnippet also support tags and a description for your snippet.
I am working (on my spare time) on canSnippet for the last few years. I made a very first web-based version https://github.com/ademcan/canSnippet and I recently released a desktop version for macOS (Windows and Linux are coming...) https://www.cansnippet.com/.
I got very good and positive feedback so far :)
Dear HNers, I finally managed to ship my side-project, canSnippet :)
CanSnippet is a macOS tool to easily save, keep and access your code snippets with simple keyboard shortcuts. Feel free to ask me if you have any question. Thanks.
Hi there,
I am the developer of canSnippet (https://github.com/ademcan/canSnippet). canSnippet is a web application that needs to be installed on a server and can be used to save/share code snippets. I will be back to it soon and add some more features, and also a better theme :) Don't hesitate to ask me if you have any question.
EDIT: you can also have a look at Respawn (https://github.com/broncowdd/respawn). It is not as advanced as Wallabag, but it also saves a copy of any webpage to your own server.
