The Facebook development team has developed a version of the famous open- source text editor Atom. This new version, "Atom in Orbit" can now be deployed in a web browser. This new tool is now available on
GitHub, under BSD-3 Clause open-source license. Facebook has uploaded a demo app also, that lets you learn working with the editor so as to support remote development.
The new tool, as per the spokesperson, is more about a hack as well as a demo, than it is about a full-bore open-source release, which has been built on Facebook’s Nuclide IDE, that runs on top of Atom. Atom has a very good response in the market and a huge user base. Now, you will be able to run it in the browser, which comes with certain advantages.
