Decided to try making a very basic chrome extension on my samsung chromebook.

You can in fact work offline on a Chromebook as I did for this experiment.

I am using "Text" as a text editor - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... nfo-dialog
Sumo Paint as a image editor - http://sumopaint.com/app/
svg-edit as a vector editor - https://code.google.com/p/svg-edit/

Chromebook's have a file manager built into the operating system. You can choose to store online and/or offline like on Windows 8.

Hey mike,

This is really cool.

Anyway you could implement something like syntax highlighting, or other features to make it become a script editor?

An offline editor like that would be pretty cool as well

It's made to be a very basic notepad.

I may add additional features, but it was made mostly as an experiment. If I add any additional features I'll be using kodeWeave to make the extension for me. Why? It's faster than writing the json and making the other files manually. lol Plus I just added that feature today :D

If you want an advanced code editor with syntax highlighting and other snazzy features for programming checkout the Text extension. Which is what I've been using along with the Chrome Dev Editor.

Prototype is a realtime html and css editor with a live preview (hence realtime), but it's a bit buggy. (I want kodeWeave to run offline, but having trouble getting JS to render without violating Google's Content Policy).
