Notable PDF: view and annotate PDF files in Chrome

As we all know, Chrome has the built-in PDF viewer, namely Chrome PDF Viewer, with which one can view and print PDF files. But one can not annotate or make notes on the file as normally we do with Adobe Acrobat. Don't worry. Notable PDF is exactly the one. It’s not just beautiful rendered PDFs but you will also have the ability to post annotations and collaborate with others in real-time.

Features:

  • Highlights, make notes right on PDF files, and discuss with friends.
  • Powerful rendering that lets you view your files better than any ordinary viewer. 
  • Comments are securely sent to others using SSL encryption.
  • Continue to work even when the connection drops. Notable will automatically sync comments back to the cloud when you're online again. 
  • Works on Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer.

Whiteout Mail: A native mail client for Chromebook

You are using a Chromebook. But you are missing an email client that stores your messages locally and you can still write messages when you are offline. Gmail offline? Forget it. It's a semifinished product which is poorly polished for desktop.

Here comes Whiteout Mail, a simple and elegant mail client for Chrome and Chromebook. As a stand-alone Chrome App, it works pretty well, just like a native app. As of now, Whiteout Mail only supports Gmail. Do not worry, support for Outlook and Yahoo mail is coming soon. Stay tuned.

Pros:


  • Elegant and intuitive. Designed for desktop.
  • Integrated with end-to-end encryption. Keeping your emails safe has never been so easy.
  • The app is open source and talks directly to the Gmail server via IMAP/SMTP. Your messages and private key belong only to you and are never sent to our servers.
