Last time I saw Basecamp (then 37signals) working on a rich text editor is a long time ago. What happened to WysiHat? I know it had another developer than the two guys who made Trix.
What I especially liked about WysiHat was the complete bareness of the toolbar, just plain HTMl links. Is that also possible with Trix?
- sstephenson 11y agoI was involved with the Wysihat project too. What we found is that its approach, like most other editors', is fundamentally broken. We created Trix to solve the problem. https://github.com/basecamp/trix#different-by-design https://github.com/basecamp/trix#different-by-design I think you'll find Trix's toolbar easy to style however you'd like, but if not, it ought to be straightforward to implement your own using the API.
- rambambam 11y agoCool, and great work! I had a small e-mail conversation with Josh (forgot his last name) a couple of years back, I thought he worked on Wysihat alone. I have seen and tested some RTEs for the web, and I can only imagine how hard it is to come up with a durable solution. So thanks for Trix and good luck! P.S. Trix also has a 'royal' connotation to me, because it's short for Beatrix in The Netherlands. Beatrix being the former queen.
