Done, and it now compiles. Great! Thank you.

I wasn't offering as a volunteer, because I don't know about
programming and not about TextMate bundles (nor about ConTeXt). The
most I can do is edit or duplicate things (like snippets for example)
to my liking. But for instance, I would like to change the command so
that it behaves like the LaTeX bundle (compiling, calling Skim,
autorefreshing when compiled again) and also copying the "watch
document" from that bundle, but that's out of my reach.

But I agree it would be awesome.

I've never had a “workflow” with ConTeXt, so how do you work? May be
that could work for me. You edit in TextMate, go to terminal, compile,
then go to the pdf viewer (which one)?

ConTeXt, but I don't think there's an _updated_ structured
introduction. For instance regarding fonts I read here
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/448812/the-definitive-guide-to-context-mkiv-documentation/448813#448813
that the latest documentation is
http://www.pragma-ade.nl/general/manuals/fonts-mkiv.pdf

But going there it goes to much depth and I don't know if I need
simplefonts, definefontfamily, setupbodyfont, starttypescript, etc.
and even seeing that may be those can coexist, I don't know what's the
use case for each one.

I remember when I started with LaTeX there was a huge number of
beginner-intermediate documents (many of which I now wouldn't
recommend even to my worst enemies, but at least there were many to
read), but here there are much less, and those that seem complete you
see they are from early 2000s (and with how much it changes in ConTeXt
you don't know what to believe).

I know TeX core enough to know how it works, LaTeX enough to know how
it's expected to work (and if I don't know something, I know where to
look), but ConTeXt I don't know where to find introductory updated
material, and also some text about the whole way context organises
everything (how files are organised, project structure, how setups
work, etc., kind of a whole idea to know where to look when there's
doubt about certain area).

Also there's this list, but one does not feel like spamming this list
sharing newbie questions with those of people that actually work with
this system. And that while showing zero ability to be
self-sufficient.

Thanks for the solution, now TextMate compiles ;)
