Wordflow

I can't really recomend this as a proper text editor as it doesn't support rich text and diesn't have nearly as many features as google docs but I can't recommend it as a lightweight text editor as the margins, font size and line spacing are all too big so the window takes up far more of your valuable screen real estate than it has to.

It 'autosaves', but roughly. It doesn't save to the file. So If you accidentally hit the 'new page' button while typing your 500,000 word magnum opus, then your last manual save was a few days ago... then everything is gone. Everything else is great. Clean and lightweight.

I would point out a big 5 star review, but there's one issue: Why, the hell, must there be a scrollbar on the right of my words? I really, really don't understand why. I'd pay for a tool, that is able to serve me a truly, 100 % distraction free screen. Nothing else, but my words. Fix it, charge it, I'll buy it.

I had to come back to give this 5 stars. Best simple text editor for Chromebook. Wish there was more customizations for the color of the background and fonts (like a color wheel), but other than that A+.

good!

No full screen mode; it's reliant on the Chromebook's full screen that, as you know, is not full screen any more. This means that this is NOT a distraction free editor.

Not much good for anything really.

Fast! Really responsive on my acer a7. Could use a couple of tweaks down the road, but the concept is really good so far.

Does not do much. Writebox does more, can use Google Drive and Dropbox as well as being free. Writebox can also display Markdown results.

I really like how simple it is. I travel a lot, and Internet access in airports is spotty for blogging. Having an offline, clean editor is invaluable to me. This is the first Chrome app I've paid for, and it was worth the money. Auto-saving to Drive would be nice, but it isn't a dealbreaker for me.
