SnippetBox

Inspiration

Many intro CS students struggle with coding syntax. Java is one of the most popular programming languages used in intro courses.

What it does

The SnippetBox appears in a side panel and provides easy access to documentation and code snippets for novice programmers.

How we built it

I built it using the VS Code Extension API.

Challenges we ran into

The biggest challenge for me was time as I am also currently writing a research paper that is due tomorrow.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Getting started and working a little despite other pressing deadlines.

What we learned

Learned some React and MongoDB - but that will be integrated later.

What's next for SnippetBox

This will be an ongoing project for my PhD dissertation. I will run user studies and possibly follow participatory design, and I will conduct evaluation studies.

Also it is not live yet, but I bought the "snippet.space" url with the Domain.com credit. Thanks! The attached video is a placeholder :) Contact me on slack: https://swamphacks-vii.slack.com/team/U01L730ADHU
