So, I'm trying to fill that void.

I've been working on a project--Labradoc--that approaches a similar idea from a different direction: http://www.labradoc.com/
My goal is to encourage developers to take notes as they go to both help them and help other people looking for the information later. From my own experience I've found a "lab notebook" style of site has been valuable both for me and other people. And it tends to be pretty low overhead.
A longer term feature I was considering was making individual entries browsable as "tips" for particular technologies but that's still on the TODO list for me.
I think there's some interesting areas to explore in the spaces between services like GitHub gists, Stack Overflow and Instructables.
Not that this is in any way detriment to the service itself which looks good, merely a warning.
From a UX perspective, I'm not convinced OpenID is any more convenient than a traditional u/p. I use 1Password to manage my logins, it works perfectly. For many other reasons, everyone should be using 1P or some password management program, as well.
I gave up on Evernote because of the totally broken text formatting.
I use Evernote for remembering pretty much everything else but the text formatting really killed it for me, I want raw unformatted text.
I currently use and recommend snippets app but the dropbox syncing between multiple computers isn't the best when there are conflicts.
Snippets app was forked into another project. I cannot remember the name offhand but it looks like it may be going into a better direction.
(it's been ages since I last tried Evernote)
