Your demo gif doesn't convey your idea __at all__. What is going on in it? To me it just looks like you are typing in a hello world function in jaavascript... where does the snippet portion come in? After I create a snippet, how do I use them in my current project and current editor? I really think you need to create demos showcasing these use cases cause as of right now i'm confused as to why this project even exists.

I agreed with what you're saying, but there's a nicer way to say it. Please be a little more considerate.

If you don't need the syntax highlighting, keepassXC does a good job of this. It's a free password manager. You can create a new folder called code-snippets and make the URL portion of each entry the code one-liner. You can copy url to clipboard from app with CTRL+U. This also has the nice property that you can password protect your snippets. You can also store them in notes or with attributes.

Cherry Tree, Joplin, Zim, Trilium Notes; all have the ability to create a tree-like folder structure.

Here, I rewrote your comment to say the same things in a friendlier way. There are nicer ways to provide feedback.

> I would recommend updating your demo GIF to more accurately portray the idea. Perhaps instead of just typing the function into the text editor, it should also convey how snippets can be saved and reused at a later point. This would give me a better idea of how to utilize the project.
