    No Gist integration. They charge. Your snippets are held captive because there is no exporting.

    Snippets is an application that stores the most often-used pieces of your code you can re-use in different projects. The main idea is to make the process of re-using as easy as possible to avoid wasting your valuable time to write the same code again.
