What is {CodeStore}?
The advantages of the cloud
The {CodeStore} cloud allows you to automatically synchronise several computers, and use all your code snippets even offline. Additionally you have access to your code snippets online at anytime.
Share your code snippets with colleagues and friends so that they can come back to your ideas and solutions. Or share them with the whole world!
Use the advantages of the {CodeStore} cloud for only 10€ per year!
Imagine ...
... store often used patterns, describe and document the usage of libraries, modules and utility functions, and provide them to your team members for a quick job training. Additionally, you can synchronize your home- and workplace computers. So you are able to use all the code snippets from your daily work, even in private projects.
... come back to all the code snippets - and so all your experience - from past projects in a new corporation.
... store new functions, best practices and design patterns you learned, and use them for exercising at home or at the university.
What is {CodeStore}?
{CodeStore} is a code snippet manager.
As a programmer, you sometimes face similar problems and tasks. But you cannot memorise the solutions of all recurrent problems. So, a long research on the internet or previous source code is the consequence.
{CodeStore} helps you to manage regularly used and useful code snippets.
How much is {CodeStore}?
{CodeStore} is free!
You can download the program for free and use it immediately. But the function volume is limited without having an user account.
If you want to synchronise your code snippets with multiple devices, share them with others or if you want to use other advantages of the cloud, you need a user account. For such an account you need to pay a contribution of 10€ per year. After one year, the account expires automatically. To continue using {CodeStore}, you need to renew your account for another year.
You can try {CodeStore} 30 days for free. When registering, no bank- or credit card information are requested.
How much storage space is available?
On your local machine, you can store an arbitrary amount of code snippets.
The number of code snippets which can be stored in the cloud is limited to 2,500. The length of the description and the code is limited to 10,000 characters each.
These numbers are experimental values and may be changed at a later time.
What are the system requirements?
To run {CodeStore} a Java runtime environment 1.8 or higher is needed. To use {CodeStore} online, you need a current HTML-5 capable browser.

Login
When {CodeStore} is started, a login dialog is shown. If you have a {CodeStore} account, you can now log in with your user name and password. Afterwards, the automatic synchronization is started.
You have the possibility to save your credentials. In this case, your credentials were saved in an encrypted file, and you will be logged in automatically the next time {CodeStore} is started.
If you don´t have a {CodeStore} account, click cancel. To make the login dialog not be displayed again during the next start of the program, activate the option "Don´t show again".
To be able to log in at a later time, click the login button 
in the top right corner, or activate the login dialog in the settings 
. In both cases, the program needs to be restarted.
The first code snippet
Before you can create a code snippet, you need to select a programming language.
To add a programming language to the selection, select "add programming language" in the dropdown menu. In the dialog which is shown afterwards, select a programming language and submit by clicking ok.
The programming language will be selected immediately. Click on the plus symbol to create a new code snippet for that programming language 
.
Entering a title and code is always required. The description is optional. Click "save" to save the code snippet.
After {CodeStore} has been started, you always need to select a programming language to be able to select or create a code snippet. If there is only one programming language, it will be selected automatically.
Create tags
By using tags, you can group and categorize your code snippets.
If you want to create a code snippet e.g. for formating a date, you could enter "date" and "format".
There are the following restrictions for tags: only lower case characters, no spaces, max. 30 characters. You can set max. 10 tags per code snippet.
Filter
As soon as {CodeStore} has been started and a programming language has been selected, you can filter the listed code snippets to get the code you are looking for. In the automatically selected textfield, you can filter by the title of a snippet 
.
The filter section can be extended to be able to filter by tags, author, and visibility (private / public). For this, click 
or press tab.
Additionally to the filter section, {CodeStore} provides a quickfilter function. In the details section of a code snippet, you can directly click on a tab or user name, to search for it.
Sort
By clicking at the filter- or sort-symbol, you can switch between the filter- and sort-options.
There, you can sort the listed code snippets by title or creation time.
Share code snippets
Each created code snippet is "private" by default. This means, that only you can see it.
In the details section of the code snippet, you can set it as "public". So, it is visible on the website to all developers of the world. You can also share it with only a few other {CodeStore} users. For example colleagues or fellow students.
In any case, you are the only person who is allowed to edit the code snippet.
