Comment highlights

It would be awesome if there was a way to tag Gists for even more granular organization

This app could seriously streamline how we manage snippets, making our coding life so much more efficient and hassle-free. Kudos to the team for bringing such a visionary tool to life! 🚀👏

does the e syntax highlighting support multiple languages at once in a single Gist, or is it per Gist?

Thanks for putting together such a well-thought-out app! I can’t wait to see how it helps with organizing code snippets

This tool sounds fntstic! The syncing feature alone will make a big difference for anyone working with Gists regularly

This is possible with githubdesktop aswell. but you have to setup a token for every gist 🤦 I guess that is what this solves? I love gists. Did you consider making this a web app? Running in a website? with GitHub login etc?

I really like the idea of syncing Gists locally and organizing them into collections. It’s a much-needed feature for developers who work with a lot of code snippets!

The ability to create Gists directly from the clipboard or with drag-and-drop is such a thoughtful touch. It’s little details like that which make the workflow so much smoother.

This app addresses such a common pain point for developers. It’s so convenient to have all Gists easily accessible and editable in one place.

Thanks for sharing this! The ability to mange private Gist's securely and still sync them is a feature I’ve been waiting for.

Yist sounds like a fantastic productivity booster, streamlining the GitHub Gist workflow by allowing seamless synchronization, offline editing, and local bookmarking, which is undoubtedly a game-changer for developers managing large amounts of code snippets. The addition of syntax highlighting and the ability to quickly create from the clipboard or drag-and-drop makes it even more efficient and user-friendly. @morphinewan
