App: CodeBlue 5

If you have been in software business for several years, you can accumulate quite a number of software code records.  If you write code in Swift, some classes are available only in Swift 5 or Swift 5.5.  Maybe, some of the APIs are too old and have been deprecated.  Where do those lines of code come from?  Have you written them for youself?  Or do they come from Stack Overflow, Apple's developer forums or somewhere else?  How can we keep all those records concisely?

CodeBlue 5 is developed for those who need to organize those lines of code under different groups (Objective-C, Swift, PHP...) and different versions.  Some code snippet records may be more important than others.  And CodeBlue 5 lets you evaluate them with three levels of importance in color.  Those colors aren't fixed, and you can choose your own colors.  Furthermore, CodeBlue 5 gives you the ability to content-search code within the same group or across all groups.  You can also filter code titles with a key or a version number of selection under the same group.

What’s new?

1. The user can now set version numbers in each group. And you can select a version number to filter code snippet titles.
2. The user can now make image attachments to individual code snippet records.
3. The user can now run a title search on top of an existing content search.
4. The application comes with a total of 240 group icons (+16).
