I made the app because I am always looking for little code snippets such as cases where I need to find regex to extract URLs or Emails, so I figured why not create a site where people can post short little bits like that and make it searchable? So that was the motivation.
what would be cool as well, if the javascript snippet to export the code would already contain a javascript code editor (like ace or so), then I could throw in my raw code to your website and get a editable code box to embed in my own website.
Nice and useful idea, but you need the snippets to be "live"; for example, enable comments and editing, so that snippets get validated/improved/curated over time. Links to relevant stack overflow questions would be great as well.
There actually are comments. Making them "live" as you say is actually a really good idea it can be like a "proposed change" kind of thing where a user makes a change and people vote on it to see if it gets changed or not. If a certain amount of people vote for the cahnge then it replaces the old code.
