Published on

massCode organizes snippets in folders and categories. It’s a Windows 10 64-bit download.

GitHub’s Electron is used to build the program. massCode’s user interface uses Vue 3’s JavaScript framework with Ace as an integrated Code Editor.

Snippets are short pieces of reusable source or machine code. It reduces the time and effort needed to construct an application by eliminating repeated code.
