SnipKit
Fast command-line snippet manager for developers
what it proves
Proves care for developer experience in the small: command ergonomics, packaging and distribution treated as the whole product.
A small, sharp CLI for saving and retrieving code snippets without leaving the terminal. It is deliberately narrow in scope. Packaging, distribution and command ergonomics are the whole product, and the whole thing can be judged in five minutes.
proof points
- Deliberately narrow scope. It is a small tool with a working core, paused rather than abandoned
- Command-line ergonomics designed, not defaulted

the code
The repo is currently private. The evidence on this page comes from the case study; happy to walk through the code in a conversation.
