You use snips to build small interactive widgets which can be combined and
embedded into other GUI applications. the snip-class% is a helper class
for building snips and editor-snip% is a type of snip which allows building
nested editors (an editor within an editor).
DrRacket uses snips for its editor and REPL, and supports user defined
snips as well. For example, in the video below, the plot is a snip% and so
is the map. Once you implement a snip, DrRacket knows how to use it when
you show it in the REPL:

snips can also be embedded into GUI applications, for example you can build
a GUI window which contains a map and several plots:

and you can also build interactive applications. In the video below, each
game tile is a snip% and they are managed by a pasteboard% object:
