I am amazed how this software is rich in features, and fluide.
This is not the purpose of this amazing software. It is advertised as a ssytem for collecting snippets.
But, I see a potential for information manament.
- supports Markdown; Latex, HTML
- github for versioning——-this is really useful; I was trying to setup git with for versioning my notes.
- tags and smart folders
- Open in a New Window for focused editing
- Quick entry + menu icon for fast entry
I can barely find any other app that could do as effient writing system as this, presumably, snippet collecting application.
Comparing it with Keep It, the only downside I can see is the internal database system that SnippetsLab uses; in contras to the transparent storing of files in Keep it.
Otherwise, SnippetsLab seems even more capable, for 1/4 of the price of Keep It.

Just look at the manual here: https://www.renfei.org/snippets-lab/manual/mac/index.html

Mac only, so ... not that useful to many (probably most) programmers.
Here’s a similar product available for both Mac and Windows:

I like SnippetsLab, but it’s only for macOS - not even an iOS version.
I wish the brilliant Quiver was also available on iOS (as a fully functional app, I mean, rather than the viewer sans search it currently is). I shall have to harass Yao Gang (again).
Keep It still has some serious issues with syncing, although I like it very much on the desktop. The whole iOS/iCloud release was a bit premature, IMHO.

I don’ t quite understand these type of reactions. It may not be useful to ALL existing programmers, but it may be useful to programmers of Mac-only software. It doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be talking about it. I mean, outliners and information organizers are useful to, what… maybe 0,0001 % of all existing computer users (pc+mac+linux) ? Should we avoid talking about them then ?
As a Mac user (and a long time lurker of this forum. Hi every one :-) ) , I’ve still enjoyed reading about various PC-only software (like the intriguing Connected-Text ) , just out of intellectual curiosity ( or out of strong CRIMPing affliction :-) ) and I hope to still be reading about both PC only, Mac only , Linux only , as well as Mac+Pc+Linux cross-platform software here.
