Very nice app, few small changes and it’d easily be 5 stars
This app is a GREAT lightweight code snippet management app, I’ve been using it for a few days and would like to outline a feq quick PROS, and also some CONS that if addressed would easily make this 5 stars. I use this app daily already though!
PROS:
* Lightweight
* Menu-bar access
* Supports MANY languages for code-highlighting
* iCloud sync across apple devices
* Access to snippets directly from menu bar
* Ability to “hide dock icon” when using app primarily through menu-bar
* Nice set of stock themes
* Easy Sharing of Snippets to web or via other means
* Simple editor customization (tab spaces)
* Snippet previews from menu-bar are awesome, and the menu itself is cleanly designed
CONS:
* No support for third party code snippet providers such as PasteBin, GitHub Gists, etc.
* No support for social-login/third party login- locks experience and access to snippet to Apple Devices.
* Need easy way to group snippets by code-language, right now I have to manually create folders for each language. Folders are powerful and should remain as-is but having another view to just see snippets by language would be excellent.
* Snippet previews from menu-bar need option for word wrap, long snippets which are wrapped in the main editor show as single line in the menu-preview
* Snippet previews from menu-bar do not match theme of main editor
* Snippet previews from menu-bar are fixed height, short snippets or those that aren’t wrapped (to the above point) show a large white box, could be auto-sized to the snippet with a max-height so it scrolls beyond that, cofigurable preferably.
* Menu Icon should have a “dark” mode, when I use the dark theme on the menu bar the icon sticks out like a sore thumb as its white and all the other menu bar icons have a dark-theme-variant that isn’t as high contrast.
Overall this is still my favorite OS-based snippet manager thus far. I really hope the dev takes these suggestion to hear as I’d happily give this 5 stars with the above changes. And linking within third party sites like Pastebin/Gist is something I’d be willing to pay for in-app if that helps to motivate the developer to implement it. The biggest shortcomings right now are in the powerful but currently somewhat lackluster menu-bar preview. Definitely worth the purchase if you’re a developer!
