User reviews

I didn't find an option that allows the editor to open inside the browser tab. It opens as a pop-up window. To me being able to open inside the browser with the ability to store either in the local or remote drive is essential. I would like the app to open the editor in a manner similar to another chrome plugin called Papier Without this ability, I find the app simply not useful.
