Update: Dec 5 2017

Changed app to open in a browser tab (as popup) because flash blocking settings in chrome prevented flash from opening in an app's webview.

Update: Jan 27

Hi folks. I started charging for the app so fund more development effort. The free trial you can use indefinitely. But consider supporting future development by buying. And leaving any feedback. Thanks!

Update: Oct 3, version 0.0.6

Show message when opening app without a file (Lets you select a file)
Should no longer crash when pressing full screen (make sure you have updated your Chromebook to the latest version)
Updated to use new chrome.sockets API (which is why you see new permissions prompt)
Clean up the interface a little
