una buena forma de tener Emacs en todas partes :)
by Patricio Martinez Patricio Martinez, 2015-12-08

I have already emailed them, but it would be really nice if we can use our dotfiles and customize it, then this application will be fully usable. Its a must for any of us that want to use anything other than vanilla. Since we really use a bit more than what emacs comes with. I am pretty excited about being able to use emacs ina chromebook without having to install extra stuff outside of the chromebook. We will see whether this shows as much promise in the future, but it is a step in the right direction. They really should add a FAQ on their site for these questions. Its a pretty obvious one to any developer and programmer that they might want to use anything other than vaniall gvim or emacs, for that matter. Thanks.
