Now, to the Official Web App.
If you remember this post, and enabled the chrome apps feature on developer version of Google Chrome, here is an app for you to play with. For everyone else waiting for the feature to land on the stable version, this app will be available on the About Page here, always. So, you know what to do when you a blog post announcing this feature on stable version !
But why is the ChromeStory webapp in a zip file? Shouldn’t a webapp be in .crx format?
I used the chromestory_app folder format same as default apps loaded with google chrome …
Which does not answer my question at all!
Your “About” page to download the webapp is a link to:
http://chromestory.com/chromestory_app.zip
Why is it a ZIP file? Shouldn’t a webapp be in .crx format?
please unzip the folder and you will see the chromestory_app folder. Use the method I’ve mentioned in a post here, on loading an app using the developer mode, “load unpacked extension”
Why would I want to unzip and use developer mode to “load unpacked extension” ? Is this a webapp or not?
That’s not how webapps load. You either click the .CRX link and it automatically installs into Chrome (if the hosting website has the correct MIME types configured) or you download the .CRX and drag it into Chrome to install. No unzipping is required and in fact no zip files are required at all.
Again this is for webapps, correct? Definitely do NOT follow that incorrect post about using “load unpacked extension”.
thanks, I’ve posted the crx form of the app
