Snip Share

In this profession, everyone often needs to share files or code snippets. As students, we frequently had to share code instantly during labs or group projects. Most of us relied on third-party apps like WhatsApp and Telegram, but we sometimes hesitated to open them publicly. I personally faced this issue many times, which inspired me to create a VS Code extension for seamless, in-IDE file and code sharing—no context switching, no third-party tools. This VS Code extension aims to bridge that gap by enabling users to share code and files directly from one VS Code instance to another.
