The Best Chrome OS offline extension IDE

Chrome OS comes a small update 70.0.3532.8. It fix a big bug which appeared on the last update a week ago. But, it also brings another bigger one... all the Linux apps are shown without any UI...

So this stops me from developing my next version of this website. Cos my main IDE is VS code which install in the Linux container.

So I searched, and found another way to code -- Chrome extensions.

1. Seabass Code Editor

It supports jsx. but the mentioned autocomplete is not available, I dont know why.

2. Quantum

The UI is not bad, but not supporting jsx by now.

4.Material Neutron

This is definitely the best one in my mind, it supports jsx. with beautiful Material Design, and what's more, it has a search feature.
