Introducing CodeSnap: A Code-to-PNG Tool in Progress ✨

CodeSnap is a project aimed at transforming how developers share their code. Inspired by tools like Carbon.sh and Snapify, CodeSnap allows you to turn your code snippets into visually stunning PNG images. Although it’s still a work in progress, the vision is clear: to create a simple, fast, and customizable tool for developers. ⚡️

What’s CodeSnap About? 🔧

CodeSnap focuses on these key features:

  • Real-Time Preview: Edit and see how your styled code snippet looks instantly. 📈
  • Customizable Themes: Pick your favorite fonts, themes, and background colors. 🎨
  • Export as PNG: Download high-quality images of your code. 💾

The project uses modern web technologies like Vite, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS to ensure a fast, smooth, and visually appealing experience. ⚙️

As with any project under development, there are a few hiccups:

  1. Viewport Limitation: Currently, only the text visible in the viewport is exported. 🕵️
