#2I wouldn't mind one that just saved to git.

#3The only thing "Textmate-like" about this Chrome extension is that it has a file list on the left and a tabbed editor on the right.
That said, this looks quite convenient, and I appreciate you bringing it to my attention!

#4I thought it would only sync to a single folder on my Dropbox, but no, I can edit any text file AND it has syntax highlighting.
Very neat and useful, thanks.

#5Awesome app, would be even more awesome decoupled into a true webapp.

#6How does this work when Dropbox only allow mobile uses of their API?

#7This is really cool. I have absolutely no use for it.

#8I hate being negative, but I really don't see the use case. I have a text editor and Dropbox installed on my machine, why would I want to install this editor?

#9I just created a dropbox account to test this out. Obviously there are no existing files in it. I looked for a button to create a new file and could not find one.
If dropbox does not have a create file call for you to use, perhaps you could have the app create an empty filename and upload it automatically and then edit it as an existing file?
Edit: Never mind, I finally noticed the buttons on the bottom left. That was quite unintuitive for me--I never look at the bottom left for application buttons. Is this something that textmate does?

#10Looks very promising, it'll be a good companion to the iPhone PlainText app.
Two suggestions: (1) Word-wrap. (2) Let me pick a dark-on-light color scheme.
