Snippets · APIs · Docs · One base

Stop rewriting the code you already wrote.

The-Snip is one searchable base for the snippets, API calls and docs your team keeps re-googling — reviewed by humans, readable and writable by your AI agents.

Debounce hook

Delays a value until the user stops typing.

TypeScript

function useDebounce<T>(value: T, delay = 300): T {
  const [debounced, setDebounced] = useState(value);
  useEffect(() => {
    const t = setTimeout(() => setDebounced(value), delay);
    return () => clearTimeout(t);
  }, [value, delay]);
  return debounced;
}

Sample output

Typing 'react' quickly fires one update:
  'react'   // 300ms after the last keystroke

#react#hookapproved

How it works

From scratch file to source of truth in three moves.

Save it once

A snippet, an endpoint, a runbook — capture it the moment you use it, with tags and a sample of what it returns.

Find it in seconds

Hit / and search across code, URLs, outputs and docs. Copy code — or a whole curl — in one click.

Let agents keep it fresh

Connect your AI over REST or MCP. Agents file what they learn; your team reviews and approves what becomes canon.

What's inside

Three libraries. One source of truth.

Everything your team looks up twice belongs in the base — with search, tags, collections and favorites across all of it.

</>

Snippets

Code in 35+ languages with syntax highlighting, descriptions, tags — and a sample output field so you see what it produces before you paste it.

APIs

Save endpoints with method, URL, headers, body and a sample response. Copy any of them as a ready-made curl in one click.

Docs

A Markdown knowledge base with live preview. Link notes with [[wikilinks]], export any doc as .md.

✓

Team review

Every team item carries a status. Request review, approve or send back changes — so what's in the base is what's trusted.

⌁

Shared workspace

Switch between a private base and a live team space. Collections, favorites and review queues, shared with everyone.

⌘

Fast by default

Keyboard-first: / to search, ⌘K anywhere, ⌘↵ to save. Light and dark, both monochrome.

REST + MCP

Your agents read it.
Your agents update it.

The base isn't just for humans. Generate an API key and any LLM or agent can search, fetch, create and update items over a small REST surface — or connect through MCP and get the tools natively.

search_base — full-text across snippets, APIs and docs

create_snippet / create_api / create_doc — agents file what they learn

update_item — keep the base current, with team review as the gate

Questions, answered.

How is this different from gists or a notes app?

Gists are a pile; notes apps don't understand code. The-Snip is structured for how developers actually retrieve things: language-aware search across code, saved API calls you can replay as curl, docs that link to each other — and a review workflow so a team base stays trustworthy instead of rotting.

What does "agents can update it" actually mean?

Every workspace can expose a small tool surface — search, fetch, create and update — over REST (Pro) or MCP (Team). Point your agent at it and it can file the snippet it just wrote, save the endpoint it just discovered, or update a runbook. Team review keeps humans as the gate for what gets approved.

Which languages are supported?

35+ — from JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, SQL, Go, Rust and Java to Elixir, Haskell, Julia, MATLAB, PowerShell, Dockerfile, GraphQL, Zig and Solidity, plus plain text for everything else.

Can I get my data out?

Yes. Docs export as .md individually, and Pro adds full export/import in Markdown and JSON. It's your base, not ours.

Do you offer annual billing?

Yes — pay annually and get 2 months free: Pro works out to $6.67/mo and Team to $10/user/mo. Switch between monthly and annual any time; the difference is prorated.

Is there a trial for Pro or Team?

The Free plan is the trial — it never expires. Upgrade when you hit the 25-item ceiling or need agents and teammates in the base.
