To me a snippet implies a small chunk of code without commentary. My goal is to give developers a platform to write about development and offer snippets within their commentary. I think the terms "Story" or "Commentary" better embody this. Maybe we can have two posting options: "Commentary Thread" and "Commentary Page". Then we can call Hawkee a development commentary platform.
I think 'snippets' is suitable, as that's where people post code that really isn't an entire script/code-base. If you look at my uploads, most are tools, that serve no purpose as a standalone 'app', but rather are used to ease the making of 'apps'
'Readme' reads as though its just documentation which is far from what the 'snippet' section actually is.
