Nocs Google Docs Editor

Nocs is a Windows Notepad-style application that uses Google Docs to synchronise text files.

Editing in a browser can be powerful but it is sometimes problematic. Nocs is a basic editor that can create and edit word-processing documents online using Google Docs.

You cannot apply formatting to text but Nocs has a tabbed interface to edit more than one document at a time. As the documents are held on Google Docs it is also possible for several people to edit a document at the same time.

Nocs can be set to autosave documents if it is left idle, a useful idea to avoid losing work. It can also encrypt text before it is sent to Google Docs to avoid anyone snooping on your work on the way.

The editing font can be changed, which is a good idea as Courier New is not easy to read for long periods.
