Daicon For Mac

For those who don’t know, snippets are small parts of re-usable code or text that are usually incorporated into larger programming schemes. Snippets have been invented to help programmers improve their productivity while working with code, as it helped them to avoid writing the same piece of text again and again.

Daicon is an unobtrusive and no-muss, no-fuss OS X application that makes it as easy as possible for you to share snippets with other programmers from your team via instantly generated URLs.

In order to start sharing snippets, you must create a new Daicon account using your valid email address and, of course, by choosing a username and a password. Once this is done, you can begin taking advantage of what this small application has to offer by logging into your account using the default web browser.

Clearly designed with ease of access and efficiency in mind, using Daicon’s intuitive web based dashboard, you can easily access a small database of snippets, your own collection of snippets, and the stocks menu.

The thing to remember is that, every time you copy a part of text to your Mac’s clipboard, it will be automatically transferred onto Daicon’s simplistic interface. Speaking of simplicity, once installed, Daicon is so unobtrusive that it can only be summoned to appear using its default hotkey command “SHIFT + CMD + SPACE”.

Now, if you want to share a snippet, you must simply select it from Daicon’s main window and press ENTER to post the snippet. Once this is done, a URL with direct access towards your snippet will be automatically generated and copied to your Mac’s clipboard.

Considering its ease of use and its overall efficiency, it is clear that Daicon should find its way onto the Mac’s of any development team that works with large amounts of snippets on a daily basis and need a fast way for sharing them.
