This site can be useful and I developed my own library very similar years ago. I do suggest that the text size be much smaller especially for the code editing boxes.

To me, the new design make the website not worthy using anymore. (Was it designed for seeing-impaired people?)

It is a pity because snipplr _is_ the best tool around.

I’ll keep using it from the command line and through Smultron plugins, till alternative skins are available. Thank you anyway for the efforts in improving this nice service.

Thanks for the feedback. For now the design will persist, so we’ll be sorry to see you leave the site Wim. However, I think a good middle ground will be to create an alternative skin to the site that’s similar to the previous design – something more minimalist and bare bones. Then, you can specify that layout in your settings or we can do it based on cookies.

I completely agree with zingo. In fact, I will stop using Snipplr if this design persists. The new design is space hungry. The listing of my snippets is an annoyance to browse now.
I can’t imagine you would label this design as a good one for developers… we want power, not fanciness, and definitely not super large font sizes for everything.

Sorry, but I don’t like the new design. So I’ll take it as a chance to use the textmate respectively the command line interface to your service more often instead of the website itself.
