I believe there are a couple options on Linux. There is an Alfred imitation called Albert, apparently. It's mostly something that I've considered although now that I use Alfred so much, it wouldn't be a decision I'd rush into.
 
If only there was a Linux version of Alfred ... :-P

.alfredsnippets, like  .alfredworkflow, is just a renamed .zip file. Unzip it and you’ll find all your snippets inside, in a clear JSON format.

Hi everyone! I built something and wanted to let you know  
 
I wanted to make some snippets for HTML entities (I know there are some databases available, but I wanted to customise some of the keywords to my own liking).
 
I searched online for something that would let me maintain a spreadsheet and convert that into the .alfredsnippet format. Found a few Python scripts but I wanted something simpler, so I built a quick in-browser that lets you copy a bunch of spreadsheet cells (copied cells are in TSV format), paste it into a big ol' textarea, and it'll generate/download the .alfredsnippets file for you 
 
The tool itself is here:
https://rawgit.com/dhoulb/alfred-snippet-generator/master/index.html
 
The source code etc is here if you're that kinda gal:
https://github.com/dhoulb/alfred-snippet-generator
 
Let me know if you find it useful. Should make it tonnes easier to build/maintain large sets of snippets. I'm thinking a full set of Emoji snippets (should be easy enough to pull from this database), and a full set of character entity characters.
 
In addition because TextExpander can export as CSV, this will make it easy to convert those to Alfred instead (no need to run a script, just copy/paste).
