If you look at the Forum descriptions, Programs reads as "This section is for (i) completed programs, or (ii) works in progress. If the code ages well, it will be archived and immortalized in the Samples Gallery by the Librarian."
But what about when one just wants to highlight a singular SUB or FUNCTION, rather than a whole program? (Like the PutText topic I just posted in Discussion. Somehow, it just doesn't seem *worthy* enough to qualify as a whole "program", since it's just a simple little SUB at work to copy/paste text from one image to another.)
Wouldn't a little Snippets forum be better for those type things, and help declutter the Programs forum for actual "completed programs or works in progress"?
And while we're at it, how about a "Completed Library" forum, so folks who make libraries can post them there and they'd be easier to find and access. It could help highlight those useful extensions like falcon.h and direntry.h, and the libraries that use them, that are copy and pasted as attachments in dozens of posts on the forums. Folks would be able to easily find and point to things with "Get the helper files from the library HERE, if needed."

We have those categories:

Posts in Samples sometimes are single SUBs, like CircleFill. From Programs they will be brought there for future reference when needed.

From Discussion too.

The problem with the Samples forum is that the users don't have access to post/edit in it. It's more a "highlight" forum where the librarians post links to other topics, but it's not one where users actually post their work and others can comment on.

That's for Discussion.

That's for Discussion.
Can we tag posts in Discussion, and then filter by tag(s)?
If so, how about tagging a post in Discussion as "snippet"?

I agree with @FellippeHeitor that anything permanently useful should be in the Curated Section (we Librarians are trying not to call it the Library as that word has specific coding meaning), including (or indeed specially) Snippets. On my ToDo List, there's a load of @SMcNeill 's stuff to be added - the Junior Librarian needs a bit of a boot at his rear end.
