Personal code snippet library

Hi

I am just starting out with frontend development and as I find myself in need of a place to take personal notes and save reusable pieces of code, I wondered what application you use to keep all this valuable information organized.

I just stumbled upon GistBox. It appears to be free and looks very shiny. Are there other, better alternatives?

Thank you for your time.

I think I am going to settle with GistBox. It just uses GitHub to store everything which is super.

I've been meaning in the past to create a code snippet library of myself but I never really had the time or energy to complete it.

I do keep notes of snippets when I go through courses. I use Evernote to do that and it;s a big part of my learning strategy.

I am using Brackets as an editor. Yesterday I found out you have an extension that adds a snippet library to brackets. Very useful!
