As I have been progressing with my degree, I have found myself with an increasingly large library of reusable code. While this is a good thing as it means that I don't have to write the same functionality twice, I have been discovering that it is rather difficult to find the code snippet I want to use in any reasonable length of time - probably due to the absence of a meaningful organisational system.

Recently I found GistBox whilst scouring the internet for a decent solution. It lets you tag and organise the code snippets that you have uploaded to Github Gist. Now instead of hunting through past projects to find a piece of code I want to reuse, I can instead (in theory) just open GistBox and search that instead, assuming that I have gotten around to uploading that snippet to Github as a gist.

GistBox does have it's flaws (like a terribly uncustomizable code editor that doesn't let you switch between space and tabs), but all in all it's a huge improvement over my previous (non-existent) system. Now all I have to do is to move all my snippets over to it so that they are all in one place (assuming that I can find them).
