Do you take off points if they don't use a #2 pencil?


I started this extension a few weeks ago while I was working on my dissertation proposal. As my document grew, I thought the existing plugin [1] was not able to send the entire document to AfterTheDeadline. I also ran into issues where I didn't have Internet access, but still needed my document checked. I decided to write my own plugin to fit my needs. It's still in the early development stages, but after the discussion [2] today on the original plugin, I thought I'd release my attempt. Let me know what you think!

Edit: formatting


I'm getting that same thing too! Not sure what's going on.


This looks pretty neat. If you want another choice with different layout options, try Sketchy Notebook [0].

Have you seen Visual Studio Code [1]? It's not full VS, but it's a good start.

I've tried it but it's not the same feeling. However, VS Code is perfect for quick file edit.


I'd love to see a Windows Phone version too! Definitely needed to see this link today. Thanks.
