The Code Snippet Sharing Hub is a collaborative web platform where developers can create, save, share, and discover reusable code snippets. It serves as a central knowledge base for programmers, helping them quickly find solutions to common coding problems, share best practices, and learn from others.

Key Features

1. User Authentication – Sign up, log in, and manage personal profiles.

2. Code Editor with Syntax Highlighting – Supports multiple programming languages (HTML, CSS, JS, PHP, Java, Python, etc.).

3. Snippet Creation & Saving – Users can write code directly in the browser or paste existing code to save it.

4. Tagging & Categorization – Organize snippets by language, topic, or framework for easy searching.

5. Search & Filter – Quickly find relevant snippets using keywords, tags, or language filters.

6. Public & Private Snippets – Share snippets publicly or keep them private for personal use.

7. Version Control – Maintain multiple versions of the same snippet to track improvements.
