I built Snipworth a Chrome extension to turn code into shareable images — and keep them for later

If you share code on social media, you've probably used Carbon, ray.so, or Snappify at some point. They turn a snippet into a nice image, you download it, you post it. That's where they stop.

The thing I kept running into wasn't generating the image — it was everything around it. I'd write a snippet I wanted to post, but not right now. I'd tweak the colors, get it looking good, then have nowhere to put it. Next time I needed it, it was gone, and I'd start over.

So I built Snipworth: a Chrome extension that turns code into polished images, but treats the snippet itself as something worth keeping. It's on the Chrome Web Store at v1.1.0, open-source under MIT.

Why build yet another code-screenshot tool?

Two reasons, honestly.
