Toolipie - How do I Organize Code Snippets, and Turn them into a Swiss-army Knife
I built Toolipie to solve my own script chaos — a local-first Swiss-army knife that organizes the tiny tools I use every day. It turns one-off snippets into reusable plugins, avoids ad-filled online tools, and keeps everything consistent and private. The CLI/TUI is open-source, and the long-term vision includes optional AI-generated tools and MCP integration.
