Text.app

Just a text editor for ChromeOS. Can also be used on any other system with Chrome. To install visit the Text.app page in Chrome WebStore.

Getting the code

You can download the whole source code as one archive, or get it from the repository using git:

git clone git://github.com/GoogleChrome/text-app.git
cd text-app
git submodule init
git submodule update

Running the development version

• Check Developer Mode in chrome://chrome/extensions/
• Click "Load unpacked extension..." in chrome://chrome/extensions/ and open the text-app directory.

Building the package

You do not have to build the app to install it in Chrome. Building will just extract all the required files and minify the JS code.

Building script requires Python3 and will use online Closure Compiler. Just run

python3 build.py

and the package will be written to text-app/build/ directory in zipped and unzipped formats.
