Luckily, he had a backup chromebook laptop I could use temporarily. Of course using this pc wasn't the same as my own laptop which had Alfred App, my text editors and a few other command-driven apps.\n\nI'd gotten accustomed to simply typing everything I needed on my computer, without almost ever using my mouse. I wanted a similar command-driven experience in one of the apps I use most as a software developer - my web browser. Thus, Cato was born.\n\nNow, with Cato, I can get nearly the same command-driven experiences that apps like Alfred App/Atom/VSCode/Spotlight have, but in my web browser on nearly any operating system! #yay  🎉🍻🎊\n\n\n\n[badge-cws]: https://img.shields.io/chrome-web-store/v/hlepfoohegkhhmjieoechaddaejaokhf.svg?label=chrome\n[link-cws]: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cato/icphdcfpompgbdikholnedfeidemgobg \"Version published on Chrome Web Store\"\n\n[license-badge]: https://img.shields.io/npm/l/cross-env.svg?style=flat-square\n[license]: https://github.com/kentcdodds/cross-env/blob/master/other/LICENSE\n\n[license-badge]: https://img.shields.io/npm/l/cross-env.svg?style=flat-square\n[license]: https://github.com/kentcdodds/cross-env/blob/master/other/LICENSE\n\n[prs]: http://makeapullrequest.com\n[prs-badge]: https://img.shields.io/badge/PRs-welcome-brightgreen.svg?style=flat-square\n\n[twitter]: https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchrome.google.com%2Fwebstore%2Fdetail%2Fcato%2Ficphdcfpompgbdikholnedfeidemgobg\u0026via=cliffordfajard0\u0026text=Checkout%20the%20command%20launcher%20browser%20extension%20-%20Cato%21\n[twitter-badge]: https://img.shields.io/twitter/url/https/github.com/kentcdodds/cross-env.svg?style=social\n\n\n\n### Thank You\n\u003e Thanks checking out my extension!
