Welcome to SnipShare - code sharing on your own WordPress

SnipShare gets its own home at snipshare.org. Journey playbooks, video walkthroughs, and shipping notes for the Pastebin / Gist alternative built for WordPress communities.

SnipShare has been a Wbcom Designs plugin for a while now. The store page lives at store.wbcomdesigns.com/snipshare and is the canonical place to buy a Pro license, browse changelogs, and read the docs.

What was missing: a site that explains what you can build with SnipShare - not just what features it ships. The store page lists capabilities. snipshare.org answers the questions that actually drive purchase:

  • “Can I run a BuddyPress dev community where members share code in the activity feed?”
  • “Can I self-host my Pastebin habit without losing the workflow?”
  • “Can my agency team finally consolidate the snippet library that lives across Slack / Notion / Gist?”
  • “Can my students fork the instructor’s code example and iterate inside the LMS?”

Each one is a journey playbook with the exact settings to flip, the conventions that scale, and the pitfalls to avoid.

What lives at snipshare.org

  • Seven journey playbooks - BuddyPress community, Pastebin replacement, team intranet, learning platform, bbPress forum, solo notebook, Gist replacement for tutorials. Each one covers setup, conventions, and ship checklist.
  • Video walkthroughs - first batch publishing soon
  • This blog - shipping updates, real-customer setups, technical write-ups
  • Compare - SnipShare vs Pastebin / Gist / CodePen / Notion / DIY builds

What stays at the store

store.wbcomdesigns.com/snipshare:

  • Full feature reference + screenshots
  • Pro licensing + checkout (Personal / Developer / Agency, annual + lifetime)
  • Documentation
  • Support tickets + changelog
  • The canonical buyer-funnel landing page

The split lets each site do one job well. Sales pages on the store. Journeys + tutorials + blog on snipshare.org.
