Features

In terms of key features, Drift supports the ability to store code snippets, just like you would do with Github Gist. You can create, save and manage these snippets with ease for future reference or sharing with peers. It's an excellent tool for developers working in teams, helping to enhance collaboration and code reuse.

Moreover, Drift offers a user-friendly interface that echoes the simplicity and familiarity of Github Gist. As it's self-hosted, users can enjoy additional layers of security over their data without relying on third-party servers. Its open-source nature also allows users to customize it according to their specific needs and preferences.


With 1188 GitHub stars and the latest commit on 2023-07-21 the project looks healthy.
