One of the great things about GistBox was that my snippets were always backed up in my Git account. My snippets are quite valuable to me. I felt comfortable in the knowledge that should something happen to GistBox, all my snippets would be be safe.

Now, having the only copies of my snippets stored on Cacher's servers, that safe feeling is gone.

I would very much like to see the ability to export my entire library of snippets to a zip file or similar so I can keep local backups of my code.

  Thanks so much for the thoughtful feedback Wes. As of Sep 13, we've actually rolled out one-way sync to Github Gist. If you log in with your Github account, we will try to match up your current snippets in Cacher with those in Gist. Then whenever you update a snippet in Cacher, it will write the changes to Gist as well. There will be a formal announcement made in the next week or so once we've built more supporting UI around the feature.

  Import/export snippets is definitely on our list as well.

  But how about my 1300+ duplicated snippets? They would automatically sync with github gists to?
  Now I'm scared to open app.cached.io))

  GistBox did a really good job of syncing content to Gist, I feel like the mechanism used by Cacher will be equally capable.
