Hey Product Hunt 👋 @AnkiCodes and I started to work on snappify about a year ago as a side project. We wanted to build a tool that makes it easy to create beautiful code snippets and at the same time give the users a powerful editor which helps them to annotate and explain their snippets. Today we are confident that snappify has matured into a helpful tool for developers around the world! Features 🚀 - operate on a free canvas, drag around elements where you want them - add multiple code snippets - annotate with rich-text and arrows - upload custom images - highlight code (e.g. blur specific lines or show change diffs) - manage all your code snippets in one place Future plans 🙌 At the moment we are able to work full-time on snappify and have big plans to push it even further. We are working hard on the possibility to embed interactive snaps into your website / blog! We would absolutely love to know your thoughts and are happy to answer all your questions! 😊 We also got a 30% discount code for the first year / month of your snappify Pro subscription! Just use SNAPPIFY_30 at checkout. The code is valid until 28th February 2022.

@ankicodes @dominiksumer I’m a huge fan of small targeted tools. And this is one of them. Good luck, guys!
Dominik Sumer
@ankicodes @fscholz Thank you very much Felix! Also for answering all the questions we had upfront the launch 🙏

Marko Denic
Great tool! Best of luck today!

@denic thank you very much Marko! 🤩
Kevin Smith
Just tried it out :) Fun tool! Will use the next time I want to share a code snippet on social media. And congrats on the launch!
Dominik Sumer
@kevinbensmith Hey Kevin, glad you like it! :) If you have something in mind which could improve your workflow while creating such code snippets, we're all ears :D
Kevin Smith
@dominiksumer Not sure this is what you are looking for in terms of feedback, but what I would find useful is for whoever sees the code snippet image to have an easy way to get to the code in text form. Because if it's really a useful code snippet, you might want to copy paste it.
Dominik Sumer
@kevinbensmith that's exactly what we're working on at the moment :) we want to make the snaps exportable as HTML .. so you can integrate an interactive version into your website / blog we also want to have the possibility to just share it via a link .. and there the snaps will also be interactive (like you can copy the code) instead of just a static image
Kevin Smith
@dominiksumer nice! that sounds perfect.
Kevin Smith
@dominiksumer let me know when the HTML export is ready. Would love to try it out again. Btw: we've also launched in the meantime. Would be great if you could check it out :)

Hey ?makers what’s the real story behind the product? How did you get the idea?
Dominik Sumer
@galaxyx7 Okay let me elaborate a bit 😅 In 2020 Anki and I started with our first product TrueQ which didn't get any real traction. Then we started to get more active on Twitter and also started to post code snippets there and so others doing so too. We just weren't that happy with the existing solutions and that's when we started snappify 🙌
Romano Pravdic
@dominiksumer Thanks for sharing. I’m curious ti know if you had to present the code in a PowerPoint presentation or something similar? How did the need for your product evolve?
Dominik Sumer
@galaxyx7 It was really mostly being active on Twitter and wanting to share own code snippets or seeing others doing so .. and thought that we could build a nice product that helps with that :D
Andrey Okonetchnikov
I’ve been using Snapify to share code samples on Twitter and it’s amazing! Congratulations on the launch!!!
Dominik Sumer
@okonetchnikov thank you Andrey, really glad you like it! And I'm super happy that we started a collaboration between snappify and MonoLisa. It's such a beautiful font you crafted there and we're honored that snappify's code snippets are powered by it 🙌
Andrey Okonetchnikov
@dominiksumer can't agree more! Every time I see a Snapify screenshot in the wild it makes me happy :)
Agne
Wow, I've been looking for this for so long!
Dominik Sumer
@goldie_sullon Really glad you like it Goldie 😊 We always have open ears if you have improvements in mind which could simplify your workflow while creating fancy code snippets!
Agne
@dominiksumer That's so sweet! I already showed it to my whole team, if we'll have some suggestions - I will gladly let you know!
The Yixe
wow, looks awesome! whats your tech stack and frameworks?
Dominik Sumer
@the_yixe Thank you very much, glad you like it! It's built with React, Next.js, ChakraUI and supabase.
The Yixe
@dominiksumer how do you manage all the mouse interactions, drags, move etc its so smooth
Dominik Sumer
@the_yixe first we looked into doing it with framer motion, as this is the animation library included with ChakraUI and also supports drag and drop functionality but it has its limitations and therefore we just built our own event listeners. so we listen to mousedown / mousemove / mouseup events and update the positions of the elements accordingly
