Easily Create Code Snippets with Bonetree Box
Update: Looks like the link is not valid anymore 
Anyhow, one always can use http://pastebin.com 
Have you ever needed to show a code to a friend? If yes, I have no doubt that you will love Bonetree Box.
This web tool has a very simple and well-designed interface, and working with it is with no doubt a pleasant experience.
The tool has support for a set of popular programming languages, such as C, C++, Bash and more (I believe that this set will be extended over time), and allows you to create a syntax highlighted code snippets with zero effort.
Ah, I almost forgot to mention that this tool supports the usage of TAB for syntax indentation (Which is not a so trivial feature if you think about it).
After writing your code in a textbox, passing the CAPTCHA and clicking the “save” button, you’ll get a link to your code snippet, which is valid for 5 days and resides in a neat, minimalistic and good-looking page.
Now you can pass the link to whoever you want.
Below is a screenshot of how the code snippet looks like:

Thanks for spreading the word Amir
I just added support for Python, and your suggestion about being able to save a screenshot is a pretty great one, I’ll definitely look into doing that and/or maybe extending the snippet lifetime.
As for the captcha – recaptcha definitely has some tough ones to solve but you can always request a new one with the appropriate button. I’ve used several other captchas and recaptcha is by the far the easiest to implement, and it’s also for a good cause – solving captchas helps to digitize books
.
Thanks again and I’m happy that you find this tool useful!
