Hi, I’m don’t know if this is the correct channel for this question but I’m writing a post in medium about refactoring and I want to show the changes in the code understandably, maybe showing the code before and after or using a gif. Can you recommend some tools to do this?

ok, but I need to create a gist for every change, right?

yes

Also, as a heads up, this isn't the right channel. According to the channel topic:

Post links to interesting things about Kotlin. Discuss in relevant channel, not here.

This would fit better in #random.

Sorry

No apology needed 🙂. Unfortunately channel topics aren't very discoverable in slack, so many people don't even realize they exist.

Depending how cheap you want to get, if you copy-paste something from IntelliJ it will add HTML to your text so it has coloration. It's very useful to send code snippets by email, for example.

this is also a nice tool to generate graphical code samples: https://carbon.now.sh/

images are a problem. you can't copy & paste the sample code.

thanks, I’m using this https://play.kotlinlang.org/ with the link to share in medium

nice, that's a good idea
