Time and time again I find myself trying to remember a bit of PHP or CSS code that I've used before to perform some sort of function. This is why most any web developer needs a code snippet application to archive those bits of code. In this article I bring attention to Snippley, a fantastic Adobe Air desktop application, and also Snipt, which is a web application based around a community to boot.
