Really cool. A little slow to load, perhaps, but I say that with no knowledge of how much is going on behind the scenes.

I have only one real complaint, and it's unique to me. I use a blank page as my new tab page instead of the default, and I could find no way to launch this extension other than setting my new tab page back to the default.

Edit: what's the password for sudo?

There's two ways that I'm aware of to launch a Chrome app without using the "new tab tab":

1) Use a bookmark. Chrome apps are just bookmarks, after all. If you want to be really clever about it you could even use a (personal, non-social) bookmarking web app like http://bookmarked.us/

2) Install an app that lets you launch other apps. I'm thinking of this one: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/app-launcher/odmpa... (App Launcher)

hi koding dev here. if you are guest, you don't have sudo access. to have root access you need to be registered. and your login password will be your sudo password, too.
