After years of completely ignoring SnipSave (while it continued to gain users), I rekindled my original passion for this product. I really wanted to modernize the app add a paid plan to see where it could go.
The app was originally built with PHP and MySQL on the CodeIgniter framework and hadn't been updated in years.
My tech stack for all new client and personal projects was now Python/Flask/MongoDB/AngularJS, so I decided to redesign and rebuild SnipSave from the ground up in that stack, including a paid plan utilizing Stripe.
I launched SnipSave v3 in October 2017 and got my first couple of paying customers within the first 30 days.
