SnyPy
What it is
SnyPy is an open source, self-hosted code snippet manager for development teams. Its web interface uses the Monaco Editor for creating, editing, and sharing snippets, and a REST API supports snippet management. Teams can place snippets in restricted groups, while users control whether individual snippets may be shared. Search works across snippet content and labels, which can be managed for an account or team. Administrators configure the supported programming languages globally. The backend handles authentication, snippet storage, and team permissions. The frontend is described as a TypeScript and Angular web UI, and the project provides Docker Compose quickstart commands for self-hosting. SnyPy is released under the MIT license and has a web demo. The maker does not list third-party integrations, security certifications, compliance claims, desktop apps, mobile apps, or a support plan. It is intended for teams that need shared snippet storage with controlled visibility.
