add quickstart section to README

[eduardoarandah]

Using luasnips functions directly feel like a job for a compiler 😅

We are all super busy and lazy, that's why I've added a quickstart so luasnips can be used just as easy as textmate!

For example, adding [==========[ makes it super easy for the eyes to locate the "template"

easy-for-the-eyes.mp4

I also added two commands:

• EditLuasnipSnippets to quickly jump to your luasnip snippets
• PasteAsLuasnipSnippet to paste your clipboard content as a snippet (escaping { } signs as {{ }})

See them in action:

create-snippets.mp4

For reference: vscode snippets are ugly, I don't feel like creating anything in that format:

textmate is super easy! however it's impossible to use functions

This is art

Hi :)

While this certainly looks useful for quickly creating snippets (and I agree that luasnips native syntax can be pretty tough :D), I feel like it's a bit too opinionated to put in the Readme.
Have you considered adding it to the wiki? That feels like a perfect place for recommendations like this :)

Yeah, that’s the idea, one can only have opinions after having experience which is hard as a newbie.

May I suggest adding your opinionated examples instead? 😄 for simple stuff. Text and placeholder.

My experience with luasnips was that at the beginning all I wanted was simple text with simple placeholders. I found only complex examples so I started using snipmate format.

A thousand snippets after, I found that I could get that level of simplicity with luasnips, but it’s now too late 😄 my snippets folder is chaos

and yeah. I will submit my examples to the wiki
