protofact VS snipp.in

At my last company we had a gRPC pipeline using Uber’s prototool that generated code but it was still a pain to get that code into projects so I wrote https://github.com/gospotcheck/protofact to package up the code into Gems and Jars, etc, for installation and publish them to a repository like Artifactory or any other. There wasn’t an existing solution I could find.

Also convinced the company to make it the first and only OSS project there.

I built https://snipp.in because I was top frustrated about the loading times of notion. I am a developer and I take notes quite often, most of us spend a lot of time on an IDE and when we need format a quick json or copy a tiny snippet we often find ourselves in opening another instance of an editor with a txt file or random website to formate json. Snipp.in is a tiny jn browser editor, note taking app and a snippet manager all in one which looks like an Editor but really fast without any bs of signin/signups or cloud. It just stores everything in your browser using IndexedDB. It's also open-sourced at https://github.com/haxzie/snipp.in
