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.

Keep It is attempting to do something with iCloud sync (potentially unlimited pushes of data up and down through the cloud) that I don't think anyone else has attempted. The folks at DEVONthink have said repeatedly they would never attempt sync via iCloud given the current state of iCloud technology. It would be helpful if the Keep It apps supported Wi-Fi sync in addition to iCloud.
