While <a href="https://github.com/alpha22jp/atomic-chrome" title="Atomic Chrome homepage">Atomic Chrome</a> provides a nicer interactive experience with direct feedback the release of Crostini keeps the Emacs flame alive on my Chromebook. I suspect I still need someone to step up who is more conversant in the web languages of Javascript and CSS to improve the front end experience and maybe tackle the frequently requested feature of interaction with fancy javascript editors.

<p>I've just pushed the latest version of Edit with Emacs to the Chrome App Store. Hopefully most people are already tracking the latest edit-server.el via MELPA but this does introduce a few minor fixes to the extension itself. A new piece of functionality is the ability to trigger bringing Emacs to the foreground from a key-stroke within Chrome.
