I notice you have "versioning" on your todo list.

I would personally implement that similar to how GitHub handles Gists: make each snippet a DVCS repo with 1 or more files in it.

That provides both the versioning functionality, and opens up the possibility for client-side editing using a well-known model (clone repo, make changes, commit, push).

I don't know if Rails allows to do this, but I'll try, thanks.

Well, seeing how GitHub does it...

It definitely can, though it won't be as easy as just storing text blobs in the database like is the default rails way.
