  Third party addons aren't available in C3 yet, we hope to make the SDK available soon, and then the addons must still be ported. The best thing to do now would be to try to remove all third-party addons from the C2 project.

  Some of these are browser limitations, such as AFAIK you can't download anywhere other than the downloads folder. Local file management is one of the things we'll be improving with the desktop builds, where it can be on par with C2.

  Subfolders are on our todo list.

  Cloud save should just save directly back to the cloud without opening the file picker dialog if you click 'Save' a second time - please file a bug if that's not happening!

  Saving to local browser is safe as long as you click "Request persistent storage" in the About dialog. Obviously this ought to be available in that dialog as well, but once you've gotten persistent storage permission it won't automatically delete anything, unless you explicitly tell Chrome to. I agree we need to make some changes to make this clearer and increase people's confidence in using it.

  I'll try to have something out in the next few days. To say we are extremely busy right now would be an understatement.

  Is there anything in particular that's put you off?

  guslarsen - based on your screenshot, you're seeing the mobile UI designed for phones and tablets. If you're on a laptop or desktop you should get a UI that shows those bars by default.

  One way of looking at it is you don't need to download an installer, giving it permission to access your system, and going through all its steps. I think just visiting a URL in your browser and clicking "Add to desktop" is a much smoother experience, and then you can more or less treat C3 as a native app.

  Try choosing "Add to desktop" from the Chrome menu (under 'More tools') and ticking "Open as window". You then get an icon that opens in its own window without any of the usual browser UI like the address bar. And like usual it works offline too. This makes it work pretty close to a desktop app.

  Not yet - we'll be adding NW.js support soon, but note you cannot export to NW.js with the free edition which is what the beta is currently limited to.

  We're hoping to put a suggestions voting system in place within a few days.

  The only reason we don't already support Xbox One is we've been a bit tied up with the C3 launch. We'll have something out on that soon.

  We're aiming for around midday or early afternoon BST, but we can't guarantee it precisely I'm afraid.

  At launch, the C3 debugger will be the same as the C2 debugger.

  * Run line by line (event number by event number)

  You can already do that in the C2 debugger.

  We don't store any of your project data on our servers. The only cloud services we will initially support are Dropbox, Google Drive and OneDrive. You also don't have to use them - you can keep all your content locally like with C2 - and C3 itself can work offline too. This blog post covers it in more detail.

  We did a bit of maintenance today. Sorry for the trouble, it should be back to normal service now.
