Quick add to:

The Common Ninja Code Snippets widget is a free, no-code embed that displays formatted code on any web page with syntax highlighting and themed styling.

Pick a code theme, paste your code in any popular language (JavaScript, Python, PHP, HTML, CSS, and many more), and embed the result on developer blogs, tutorials, technical documentation, or course material.

Supports multiple snippets in a single block, an AI Code Assistant for content cleanup, Custom CSS for brand match, and a one-line embed snippet for 200+ platforms including Notion, Showit, Canva, WordPress, and Google Sites.

Why add a Code Snippets widget to your website?

  • Display code on developer blogs and tutorials

    Show working examples in JavaScript, Python, PHP, and many other languages on your blog posts or tutorials with theme-matched syntax highlighting that helps readers scan the code quickly. Cleaner than a screenshot, more readable than a `<pre>` tag, and editable from one place once you have shipped.

  • Document APIs and technical docs

    Document endpoints, SDK examples, configuration snippets, and CLI commands on your product docs site. Every snippet looks the same on every page, switches theme to match the docs layout, and stays in sync across the site when you update the source in the editor.

  • Embed code in course material and learning content

    Add lesson code samples to your course platform (Notion, Showit, Kajabi, Thinkific) so students can read, copy, and follow along without leaving the page. The widget renders cleanly inside lesson blocks and survives platform-level styling overrides.

  • Showcase AI prompts and integration code

    Document prompt patterns, model outputs, and integration code for AI tools and SDKs alongside your team's production code using the same syntax highlighter. The themed container reads as native to a tech-content page on Notion, WordPress, Showit, or Canva.

Get started in 3 steps

How it works

  1. Build your code snippet

    Pick a theme (light, dark, or an IDE-inspired palette), set the language for syntax highlighting, paste your code, and use the AI Code Assistant to refine formatting in a live preview.

  2. Customize without code

    Adjust typography, line spacing, accent colors, and the snippet container's background. Add Custom CSS for brand-specific overrides. No CSS knowledge required for a polished result.

  3. Embed on your site

    Copy the one-line embed snippet and paste it on your blog post, tutorial, or docs page on 200+ supported platforms. Edits in the editor push to every embed automatically; you never re-paste the code.

What you get with the Code Snippets widget

Beautiful code themes

Light, dark, and IDE-inspired palettes that match your brand or content tone. Switch themes per snippet so a dark-themed blog and a light-themed docs site can both pull from the same widget library.

Multiple snippets in one block

Group several code examples in a single embed for multi-file walkthroughs, before-and-after refactors, or step-by-step tutorials. Tabs or stacked layout, your choice.

AI Code Assistant

Built-in helper that suggests cleanups, indentation fixes, and minor refactors to snippet content while you author. Useful for taming pasted code from chat logs, terminals, or other formatting-mangling sources.

Custom CSS plus brand-level styling

Pre-built themes cover most use cases; Custom CSS handles the rest. Override typography, accent colors, line numbering, and container spacing for a snippet that reads as part of your brand, not a third-party embed.

Quick answers

  • Any popular programming or markup language, including JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, PHP, Ruby, Go, Java, C#, C++, Swift, Kotlin, HTML, CSS, SQL, Bash, JSON, YAML, and many more. The widget renders the code as formatted, syntax-highlighted text for readers to scan. It does not execute the code on your page at runtime, so it is safe to display untrusted samples in tutorials and documentation.
