Extension summary

This is a simple text editor, but I will add features as time progresses. You can jump to line numbers, search for words or phrases in the text and make the font size bigger or smaller. There is an optional dark theme for night time writing (or just in case you like it) and all your preferences will be saved for the next use. Stay tuned!

ChromeOS용 네이티브 앱 중에서 이만한 텍스트 편집기는 본일이 없습니다. 그런데 이 좋은 앱을 더 이상 쓸 수 없다는게 너무나 가슴이 아픕니다..

Exactly everything it tells you it is. This is for people who want a barebones notes app without all the bells and whistles. Simplistic, utilitarian, easy to use, each note requires little space (great for chromebooks since they come with low memory compared to other devices) low CPU usage, what more can you ask for? Google docs is good and all, but it can take a good chunk of ram just to run (not ideal for chromebooks that only come with 4 gb ram) On the other hand I can use this notetaking app + have 18 tabs opened and my 2 core (celeron) N4000 CPU usage will only reach 60ish% tops, which is fairly good.
