Show HN: Syntax highlighting tool for code snippets in HTML
Hey! My name is Vojtěch.
When I'm sharing code on my blog or elsewhere, I find it really annoying to format and highlight all the words in the code snippet. That's why I made CodeGlow, to make sharing sharing code easy and painless.

- vojtech_richter 2y agoHey, thanks for you feedback, I really appreciate it, I'm just getting started in the software business, so I'm grateful for anything I can learn from:)
- vojtech_richter 2y agoAlso, off topic, you're working on your bootstrapped SaaS? May I know what it is? Would love to check it out, and perhaps learn a thing or two.
- verdverm 2y agoThere are many open source projects available that do this sort of thing. Many are built into blog tools Shiki, highlight.js, Chroma to name a few libraries
- vojtech_richter 2y agoMakes a lot of sense, should've made more research. Appreciate the feedback a lot!
- verdverm 2y agoI'm sure it is still a good learning experience. I cannot imagine the pain you felt doing the html by hand! I learned a lot by working on a universal formatting setup. https://github.com/hofstadter-io/hof/tree/_dev/formatters https://github.com/hofstadter-io/hof/tree/_dev/formatters
- vojtech_richter 2y agoIt certainly was. I just wanted to solve one of my little problems :D. Hof looks real cool
- verdverm 2y agothanks, it was originally just code gen to solve one of my problems, but quickly expanded when I started getting user feedback and/or embraced CUE
