2023-04-13	息子運命		How about native terminal from OS that Chrome browser was installed?, since looking for an alternative for VS Code, but can run offline on Chrome Extension
2023-03-09	Skeletial ([ BIG SHOT ])		Amazing extension if you want to get some work done on a chromebook. A lot of times I'm sitting in study hall, bored and wasting time, but then I open this up and I'm able to easily get some work done on my websites. Although the real reason I gave it five stars was because the matrix theme is better than any other theme that any other text editor provides. One tiny suggestion I have is the option to toggle between the bigger button gui and the old one, but other than that, I would give this 6 stars if I could!
2023-02-16	Christophe Hollebeke		I do webdevelopment on my Chromebook for years. Normal i used Caret-editor, but it's not update anymore and have not a lot of functionality, so after searching a lot of time, don't found a good alternative, so last time using VSCode (linux), but this is not ChromeOS friendly and drain my battery (linux/Crostini). Until now, trying TextEditor, and works very well. Okay it missed some functions like Format Document/Beautifying and replace text, but is a good candidate to replace my 'old' Caret-editor and works nicely in ChromeOS. There only a few IDE's on ChromeOS, and the most are outdated or have a lot of bugs, TextEditor is at this moment my favorite. Hope see more functions in the future. Very good work! I like it :-)
2022-10-18	Ulrich Reinert		Very helpful, i like it.
2022-04-24	Robert M. Papillion		It's just what I needed: Open an existing text file from a local drive or create one from scratch. Save the text file to a local drive.
2022-02-23	David Wilson		Really liking this so far! Hope to see this continue to be supported.
2021-12-01	Skelly		Everything is great!!! The only thing I need is being able to type in Lua, that's it!
2020-09-02	Naol Fekadu		Exactly what I'm hoping to find
2020-07-25	Pierre Fortier		I like it. I wish (1) it could open in a tab and (2) it could enable code folding.
