Medium Editor

This is nice, but is pretty much useless on a tablet. I realize that desktop users are the primary focus, but it seems like any new editor has to consider tablet&#x2F;mobile use.<p>It must be a difficult problem. Without using some kind of plain text markup syntax like Markdown, the user is required to select some text for formatting, but then you&#x27;re competing with the OS&#x27;s UI actions.<p>Are there any good mobile&#x2F;tablet browser-based editors that _my mom_ would use?

Nice, a few similar projects if someone need something slightly different:<p><a href="https://github.com/mduvall/grande.js" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;mduvall&#x2F;grande.js</a><p><a href="https://github.com/sofish/pen" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;sofish&#x2F;pen</a><p><a href="https://github.com/tholman/zenpen" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;tholman&#x2F;zenpen</a>

I don&#x27;t really want to make a big deal about this like it&#x27;s the most offensive thing in the world, BUT... why in God&#x27;s good name did the software writers choose the sample passage they did? Gun violence, shooting people in the head, &quot;motherfucker&quot;, etc.<p>Seriously? Was that the first thing that was sitting around, or did they pick it deliberately? Whatever happened to some good lipsum? Very strange. Possibly not the best sample text to promote software.

No jQuery == color me impressed<p>If I have the time, I may fork and add the ability to show which styles are applied to the selected text when the editor is brought up<p>Nice work

Pretty nice! I did a very initial integration into Create.js: <a href="https://github.com/bergie/create/commit/fe3f1396fa36a700567698deb5e8a8893169b6f5" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;bergie&#x2F;create&#x2F;commit&#x2F;fe3f1396fa36a7005676...</a><p>To be fully functional the Medium Editor would need to implement change events and a way to turn of the editor. Issues reported.

WTF is am reading on the demo site for this project?<p><a href="https://github.com/daviferreira/medium-editor/blob/master/demo/index.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;daviferreira&#x2F;medium-editor&#x2F;blob&#x2F;master&#x2F;de...</a><p><a href="http://daviferreira.github.io/medium-editor/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;daviferreira.github.io&#x2F;medium-editor&#x2F;</a>

I always wonder what the implication is of such a free license. Does it really mean &quot;whatever you want&quot;? Because it does say so...

&quot;The above code will transform all the elements with the .editable class into HTML5 editable contents&quot;<p>I think that means contentEditable, which is how Medium works. (Part of the &quot;death to textareas&quot; movement.)<p>Also, it&#x27;s a cool library, but to state the obvious, I hope they change the name.

Great on these people for making this available as open source. But referring back to medium.com: Really, this is why people are giving their content away because it has a nice web-based editor?

I like this but I don&#x27;t like that it&#x27;s branded as a Medium clone. Be that as it may, I wish it would stand on its own as a unique solution despite the apparent similarities.

Noowit has also a similar editor. Create an account an go to <a href="http://www.noowit.com/writer" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.noowit.com&#x2F;writer</a>

I wonder if there&#x27;s any wiki or CMS software based on the Medium editing UI?
