Web based Textmate like editor that saves to Dropbox

Another "feature" would be the ability to use it without dropbox--save functionality removed. I don't have my dropbox password handy, so the app is completely unusable. (HTML"5" database/ javascript localstorage?)
The Dropbox API supports the standard OAuth web flow which just requires you to have an active session on dropbox.com. I put in a feature request so hopefully soon the extension wont ask for passwords anymore.
As a workaround, you could just have a hidden dropbox.com frame.

As a work around for what? How does having a hidden dropbox.com frame stop the extension from asking for passwords?

My gf just got a Chrome OS notebook from Google - that is probably the best use case for it.
That was my initial reaction to this too. But without a compiler/interpreter on hand, this app won't be too useful for any serious coding. You just can't test what you're writing. On the other hand, this is fantastic for non-code text files.
Maybe something like this could work?

Wasn't there a link to a "Cloud Compiler" yesterday?

#55Speaking of DropBox integration: I have the DropBox App on my iPhone, and the 1Password App too, which has "DropBox integration", but it asks for my DropBox password. Is that the way it's supposed to work? Shouldn't 1Password be able to access DropBox files via the phone itself?
I believe 1Password is just using the Dropbox API, in which case your credentials are indeed needed. I don't think it's possible for 1Password to use the Dropbox App to do the integration with the Dropbox service, at least not at the present time with the way apps are sandboxed.
The Dropbox API doesn't require your credentials. Just use OAuth, so the only party getting your credentials is Dropbox.

#56Excellent. Now drop in some version control (mercurial for my own preference :)) and we are onto a winner. Dropbox is great for syncing between your development machines, but version control is essential for deployment and team development. Combining the two is really powerful.

#57This is really cool. I have absolutely no use for it.
Yet.

#58The problem of editing text files, synching them across many machines, versioning them and sharing them via web or email is I think a well-solved problem.

BTW, I'm the author of this software. So I've been trying to figure out how to save things locally for awhile. I realized that HTML5 has a File System API which in Chrome 9 can FINALLY write to the local SANDBOXED environment. This feature is planned!!
