Not to diminish the effort, but the use case for this can only be a role that requires a ton of snippet handling, which inherently means you are doing something wrong as a programmer (imho). Once you get to a point where you are regularly using snippets a lot, writing some automated script is the next step, not a tool that makes it easier to copy/paste.

But in reality the overhead of creating and maintaining a library/tool/package can be enormous, for relatively small gains in re-usability (see: https://xkcd.com/1205/).
This snippet library seems more like a step before creating a library, kind of like note taking apps are a step before blog posts or publications.
I think you could still use this and be a good programmer.

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

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 exist…
Of course, I will update README in more detail later. Now all my time is spent on PoC. MassCode is an application for organizing snippets such like as SnippetsLab, Quiver or Boostnote. What makes it different is that it uses Monaco editor as a code editor, it allows for autocompletion in the main frontend languages - HTML/CSS/JavaScript. And of course Emmet :)
Awesome! I've been looking into a way to manage my own code snippets. I'm a huge fan of ThisCodeWorks ( https://www.thiscodeworks.com/ ), which has gamified snippet storage to an extent. Also great for sharing snippets around. It's still in beta, but looks good so far!
There was a link to source page that makes it possible to dig further, but that's like StackOverflow minus cross references and comments.

I agree that the original comment was not overtly _un_friendly. I also think that the reply represents a better way. > If the only way some one can give usable problem analysis and criticism is by including suggested fixes, I think we can all agree that the inclusion of suggested fixes does make feedback more helpful in general. > and delicately toning down the criticism, then far fewer people are going to be willing…
Including good suggested fixes is certainly better than not. But no suggested fixes are better than bad suggested fixes. Finding problems is a different skill set than proposing solutions. Letting people with these complementary skill sets coöperate in improving something seems to be better than requiring one person have both. The perfect is the enemy of the good. I'm not sure why emphasis on failure is a problem, wh…
Anyone having an idea how to come close to MassCode's UI with a React.js UI library? Is there anything out there, which is similar?
