It looks a really nice project! Congrats.

I like the idea of introspecting the package.json and similar files to only provide suggestions for installed packages.
It´s a very common problem for me to have too many snippet suggestions because they aren´t tailored to that particular project or file type.

Different snippets extensions follow different rules and use unpredictable shortcuts such as "rccp", "ecrp", 'impp' etc.

100 times this! I don´t understand how people can name snippets like that. ;)
This has stopped me from using many external snippets and always aim to build my own library, which is good as it will only contain what I need but also requires more maintenance.

My naming approach is very similar to yours, which is great. ;)

I also support the vision of a standard snippets format that can be reused between Editors.
I have the idea of building a small tool to convert snippets between Jetbrains and VSCode format which are the main Editors I use. It´s somewhere in my side projects backlog. ;)

Looking forward to have more snippets for more languages like Go.

Glad that you liked it. Having converters and extensions are in our plans so if you decide to start that backlog project, welcome to join our snipsnap team. 😁
