Google Is Building a Chrome App-Based IDE

Posted by timothy on from the never-close-your-browser dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Google's Chromium team never ceases to amaze. Its latest project is a Chrome app-based Integrated Development Environment (IDE) codenamed Spark. For those who don't know, Chrome packaged apps are written in HTML, JavaScript, and CSS, but launch outside the browser, work offline by default, and access certain APIs not available to Web apps. In other words, they're Google's way of pushing the limits of the Web as a platform."

    What's next? An IDE that lets me browse the Web? A word processor that lets me drive CNC machinery?
