- Alfred Custom Search: Start searching from Alfred using the "snippetslab://search/{query}" URL scheme

Version: 1.9.3
I was skeptical at first. But, I found it quite useful after trying it for a while. It allows me to save all sorts of snippets with fragments that should go into separate locations while maintaining them together. I use it to capture all the new code blocks and keep them in it. It works like my second brain that never fails to remember. It minimizes cognitive drain to a minimum, which helps me focus on big pictures and work itself.

This is an AMAZING, feature-full snippets manager. Do you need syntax-highlighting in several languages? Check! Categorise your snippets with tags? Check! Organise your snippets into folders? Check! Multiple files per snippet? Check! Built-in Markdown preview? Check! Even allows syncing and sharing snippets as gists in your Github account.
Taking 0.5 star off, because I want it to be able to sync with GitLab!

I would leave a 5 star review because I love this app, however, I noticed that after leaving my computer on for a while, it just sucks up memory. to the tune of 25GB! please fix!

SnippetsLab is a beautiful application that makes everything right regarding UI and UX. But it also has a lot of small bugs that need fixing. just clicking through the interface and minimizing the app makes me stumble upon quite a few things that dont behave like they should. I dont like playing beta tester for $10 after already quite some time since it was released.
you also gotta ask yourself, how much do you want to trust a developer whose single page website is more than 15MB in size. i mean, really? it scores a 0 of 100 at Google PageSpeed Insights. Obviously, this has nothing to do with the app itself, but if the developer is as terrible on macOS as he is in web development, we shouldnt be surprised that SnippetsLab is buggy. no offense.

After reverting it is working. But like most apps of this kind, not cross platform and/or can't sync (import/export).
Need something better Win/OS X.
