As a developer, I realized something after working on multiple projects:
the hardest part isn’t complex logic — it’s repeating the same things over and over again.
Validation helpers, utility functions, common patterns.
Every new project started with me opening old repositories, searching files, and copy–pasting code I had already written before.
Instead of accepting this as “normal developer behavior”, I decided to experiment with a different approach.
The Idea
I wanted a place where:
- My tested code snippets live permanently
- Everything is searchable in seconds
- The interface stays calm and distraction-free
- No ads, no subscriptions
That experiment became CodeSnippet Pro — a personal snippet vault built as an independent product.
Tech Stack
- CodeIgniter v4.6.4
- HTML5
- Tailwind CSS
- JavaScript (ES6+)
- Formspree API
Most of my focus went into UI consistency, micro-interactions, and reducing visual friction.
What I Learned
Developer productivity often improves not by adding powerful features,
but by removing small, repeated frictions.
Live Version
The live version is currently available in Indonesian,
but the interface should still be self-explanatory:

I’m still iterating on this project and very open to feedback,
especially around frontend structure and user experience.
Thanks for reading 🙏
