I just took this screenshot on my Chromebook http://i.imgur.com/sPh0c6s.png

It shows my own homebrewed Desktop environment running in a browser window with a Monaco based editor open. So it's doable, but it would need quite a bit of work to beef it up to VS code abilities.

This is awesome! Any chance you would release this?

There's a somewhat dated version (pre-Monaco) at https://github.com/Lerc/notanos

Things are a bit broken right now(like file requesters don't return the file selected)

I work on it sporadically. Now that native promises are a thing I want to go through and tidy up some of the callback structure. The App API should ideally be all promise based.

It's an intimidating task though. Next big update I'll probably get it to a point where I ask assistance.
