Where do I put these snippets?

Inside a server block in your site config, usually under /etc/nginx/sites-available.

Do I need to reload Nginx?

Yes, run nginx -t then reload for changes to take effect.

Is anything sent to a server?

No, snippets are generated locally in your browser.

Does it work offline and on mobile?

Yes. Once the page has loaded it keeps working without a network connection, and the layout is responsive so it stays usable on phones and tablets.

Do I need an account or an API key?

No. Every tool on Coders Hub is free to use with no sign-up, no API key and no usage limits.
