## What it is
Snibox is a self-hosted snippet manager for collecting and organizing code snippets, markdown, and plain text. It provides a label-oriented web interface with search, built with a Ruby on Rails backend and Vue.js frontend.

## Use cases
- self-host a snippet manager to store code snippets
- organize frequently used code snippets with labels and search
- save markdown notes and plain text snippets in one place
- replace GitHub gists with a private self-hosted alternative
- deploy a snippet collection tool via Docker or Heroku

## When to choose
- you want a self-hosted, private alternative to gists for code snippets
- you prefer a simple label-based UI with search over heavyweight note apps
- you need support for many programming languages plus markdown and plain text

## When to avoid
- you need active development or recent features, as the latest release is from 2022
- you want a desktop or offline-first snippet tool rather than a web application
- you require a license file in the repository, since none is present despite MIT claims

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: search-engine, self-hosted
- domain: developer-tools, self-hosted
- platform: self-hosted, ruby
- tags: snippet-manager, code-snippets, notes, gists, vuejs, rails, docker, web-server
