A project that runs the Atom desktop text editor in the Chrome browser, built from Atom's source to be as faithful as possible to the desktop version. It was an experiment in bringing a desktop-first editor ecosystem to the web.
Use cases
- run atom editor in the browser
- browser-based ide with atom packages
- cloud ide with zero setup
- use atom themes and shortcuts on the web
- webapp version of a desktop code editor
When to choose
- you want a browser-based editor that reuses the Atom package ecosystem
- you need zero-install access to an Atom-like editing environment
When to avoid
- you need a maintained or supported tool - the project is archived and unmaintained since 2019
- you want a modern cloud IDE - alternatives like VS Code Server or Gitpod are actively developed
- you need offline desktop editing - use desktop Atom successors instead
