A journey of learning, building, and sharing a tool to help organize, manage, and export snippets.

Hey everyone! 👋

I recently embarked on a journey to create BrainBox, a snippet management tool that I wish I had when I was juggling code snippets, ideas, and routines. Throughout this process, I’ve learned a ton and am excited to share what I’ve built. Here’s how it works and what I’ve learned along the way!

🌟 Key Features

• Add Snippets Easily: Store all your ideas, code, or notes in one place.

• Export Snippets to PDF: A simple way to share or save your snippets offline.

• Dynamic Updates: Real-time updates with a clean, intuitive interface.

• Tag and Categorize: Quickly organize snippets with tags for fast retrieval.

• Authentication: A secure way to protect your snippets with user authentication.

🔧 Tech Stack

• Frontend: React, TypeScript, TailwindCSS

• Backend: Node.js, Express, JWT for Authentication

• Database: MongoDB

📜 My Journey

Building BrainBox was a fantastic learning experience for me as a developer. I wanted to create something that would be useful for me and others in managing snippets. Along the way, I encountered challenges that tested my skills and helped me grow in full-stack development.
