I want to say "finally!" but they're deprecating the chrome extension so now my chromebook won't be connected anymore but at least I'll be able to get rid of chromium on my desktop.
Guess you can never please everyone.
But in all seriousness thank you for the great work, this is excellent news!
That you won't be able to run it on a chromebook any more is a big deal actually... will you be able to sync the android version on chromebook w/o a phone #? I haven't tried that but I don't think you can "slave" the android version to an existing account the way you do the standalone app.
Unfortunately that was going to happen anyway, as Google's planned to deprecate Chrome apps. Note sure if in general, or if they'd still be supported in Chromebooks, but it's quite a lot of work to support it just for Chromebooks.
Deprecating doesn't necessarily mean you can't keep using what's already there. Even if it's removed from the store you should still be able to run it locally.
