🤙 Featured: FluentSnippet

This week WPManageNinja released FluentSnippets to the WordPress plugin repository as a way of giving back to the community. It’s a free, high-performance, file-based custom code snippet plugin built for speed and privacy, supporting PHP, JS, CSS and HTML. All code snippets are stored in the file system and loaded just like a regular plugin. No database queries at all!

FluentSnippets even comes with a standalone mode that allows you to keep your snippets running while uninstalling or deleting the plugin.
