Cloud code snippet manager with Clerk, tRPC, AI tagging, semantic search, Gist import, and VS Code extension — Stripe lookup-key billing migrated; plan gating, tests, and production polish remain before launch

Competes with GitHub Gist

Roadmap

43 items

Planned23

Add `package.json` for the extension with activation events and contribution points

Add Clerk webhook handler to sync user creation/deletion with the users table

Add CSP headers and security hardening for production

Add error boundaries and loading states across all dashboard pages

Add integration tests for tRPC routers

Add keyboard shortcuts for common actions (Cmd+K search, Cmd+S save)

Add multi-file snippet support in the create/edit UI (schema supports it, UI currently assumes single file)

Add OpenGraph metadata and a landing page

Add rate limiting on API routes (especially AI endpoints)

Add snippet insertion command (paste snippet into active editor)

Add snippet sharing: public links with optional expiration

Add tree view provider for browsing collections/snippets in the sidebar

Build the billing page: current plan display, upgrade/downgrade flow, usage meters

Build the settings page: profile info, connected accounts, danger zone (delete account)

Implement collection drag-and-drop reordering (sortOrder field exists)

Implement plan-gating: enforce `PLAN_LIMITS` in tRPC procedures (snippet count cap, feature flags for AI/search/extension/import)

Implement proper `updatedAt` triggers or middleware

Publish to VS Code Marketplace

Run Drizzle migrations and verify schema against Neon (embedding vector column needs manual SQL migration)

Set up CI/CD pipeline (lint, type-check, build)

Set up esbuild/webpack bundling for the extension

SQL injection audit on raw SQL in search router (parameterize `sql.unsafe` calls)

Wire up the Gist import UI to the existing API routes

Done20

AI auto-tagging pipeline (GPT-4o-mini with retry logic)

Auth pages (sign-in, sign-up) via Clerk

Clerk auth middleware with public route exceptions

Code editor (Monaco) and code preview (Shiki) components

Collection tree, tag input, search bar/results, snippet card/grid components

Dark theme with custom scrollbar styling

Dashboard UI: stats cards, recent snippets grid, sidebar navigation

Database schema: users, workspaces, collections, snippets, snippet_files, tags, snippet_tags, device_codes

Device auth confirmation page (web side)

Drizzle ORM setup with Neon serverless driver

Embedding generation and storage (text-embedding-3-small, pgvector)

Environment validation with Zod

GitHub Gist import (paginated fetch with raw content retrieval)

Hybrid search: vector similarity (70%) + trigram text (30%) with recency/favorite boosts

Pages: dashboard, library, collections, search, billing, settings, import, snippet detail/edit/new

Similar snippets endpoint (5 nearest neighbors)

Stripe billing: plan limits, checkout session, webhook handler (checkout, subscription update/delete)

tRPC routers: snippet CRUD, collection management, tag operations, billing, hybrid search

UI components: button, card, badge, input, textarea, select, dialog, command palette

VS Code extension: device code auth, save snippet, search snippets, status bar integration
