Not sure if it's more for here or the user channel, but someone should make a small app to check the list of available SnpEff databases. I might even do it myself if I'm ever too bored waiting for results. Reason: the only way I've found to browse the databases that does not require downloading SnpEff is through Galaxy, and we all have opinions about Galaxy (plus, it actually runs a job to get the results, which is absurdly slow for a table search)

I usually run snpeff databases locally and grep the organism I'm interested in
but I agree it's a pain
I run it via docker/conda
but I am constantly downloading and or building new container/env on my computer, so I don't really care much at that point

Fair, although it's surprising that there's no way to see the list without downloading the tool
Especially since not having to install manually is part of the appeal of pipelines
