Hi Product Hunt, I'm Antony. I run PSDgator, a small WordPress studio in Thessaloniki, Greece.
My clients always wanted something like that. Snipfire is a code-snippets plugin for WordPress. You add PHP, CSS, JavaScript and HTML from a real code editor instead of editing theme files, and choose exactly where each snippet runs.
What's different:
Safety first. Code is checked before it's saved, your site is test-loaded when you switch a snippet on, and a snippet that errors later is switched off automatically, with the exact line shown. Safe mode always gets you back in.
Fast. Snippets are plain files with one cached index, so loading them takes zero database queries.
Easy to switch. It imports from WPCode, Code Snippets, FluentSnippets and 4 more, switched off until you're ready, and your old shortcodes keep working.
An editor that knows WordPress. Type add_action, pick a hook, and the callback is written for you.
Free vs paid: the free plugin has the full editor, crash protection, every importer, a library of 258 ready-made snippets, WP-CLI and the REST API, on as many sites as you like. Pro ($39/yr for one site, $79/yr unlimited) adds SCSS/LESS, scripts that wait for cookie consent, testing mode with preview links, the visual hook finder, scheduled snippets, team access and more. Agency ($149/yr) adds Git sync and a hub for client sites, with a 14-day trial and no card. For launch, a lifetime licence is $199 for the first 200 buyers.
One honest note: WordPress.org no longer accepts new plugins that run custom code, so Snipfire comes from snipfirewp.com. Every release is signed, and the plugin checks the signature itself before it installs an update.

I'd love to hear what you'd want from a snippet plugin, and what would stop you from switching. I'm here all day to answer.
