    It's back Marc.

    Thanks! One of the reasons I wanted to poke around the site was because I have another hair-brained idea that applications should consist of small, either re-usable or custom code blocks that are wired together with a tool like Visio. Ultimately I envision something that is a mix between what that website, code bubbles, does, and something like lego-building blocks where you can visually wire up the data flow and events. The actual granularity would be completely flexible, and I imagine larger scale building blocks for handling things like ORM's, etc. I'm still looking for a decent visualization tool, similar to Visio. Sacha's rework of the WPF layout tool looks like a very good starting point. So I wanted to see what people had contributed for snippets to 1) see if you were already doing some of this with CodeStash and 2) to see what people were contributing. Argh. I need time!!! Marc

    If you need a hand, just let me know as this sounds fascinating. I'm currently planning quite a reimplementation of CodeStash based on feedback we've had, and the lessons we learnt building V1, so if there's anything that you need out of it, please let me know.

      I would really enjoy your participation! Can you send a private email so I can get your email address? What I'd like to do is storyboard a simple demonstration of the concept - I believe in writing the minimum amount of code necessary to get a conceptual prototype working! I'll send you the storyboard and I would like to discuss it with you. Marc

          Yes it did! I've been running around town today, but I just started putting together the concept as, what else, a Power Point slide deck! Mwahahaha! I'll email it to you as soon as I get a rough draft done. :) Marc
