The dead-simple snippet manager

After trying countless snippet managers, I've finally decided that what I need is something that is fast (and quick to use), dead simple, and reliable.

The result? This.

snippet-manager's Issues

Fix packaging

When this is packaged, the resulting application is just a blank window lacking dev tools.
I think this has to do with loading/saving snippets to the disk.

Improve snippet storage

At the moment, snippets are stored in a json file.
This should be probably be changed to a series of text files in a flat directory.

Copy to clipboard not implemented

Where it needs to be implemented:
https://github.com/aaronduino/snippet-manager/blob/master/src/main.js#L234-L237

Add (working) packaged applications to Releases

Keyboard shortcuts?

It'd be nice to be able to Add Snippet and also Search with configurable shortcuts

Automatic updating

depends on #2

Search not reset upon exit
