- jasonkester 16y agoHave you actually used that editor in a project? I ask, because I tried to once. After a bunch of unsuccessful shoehorning, and marveling at how they could write an entire megabyte of javascript and still not end up with a working editor, I gave up and rolled my own. It actually made diving into ContentEditable seem like the less painful choice.
- bergie 16y agoYes, we use Aloha. It is a bit big now, mostly because it depends on ExtJS. But that is bound to change: http://aloha-editor.org/wiki/Migration_to_jQuery_UI http://aloha-editor.org/wiki/Migration_to_jQuery_UI
- balupton 16y agoHi Jason, Benjamin here from the Aloha Editor Team. You are completely right that Aloha Editor is pretty big right now; as Bergie as mentioned this is due it's ExtJS dependency. The Aloha Team has now partnered with the jQuery UI team and development is underway to shed this dependency and use the much lighter jQuery UI framework as the default. You can follow the status here http://aloha-editor.org/wiki/Roadmap http://aloha-editor.org/wiki/Roadmap and we're totally open to as much feedback you'd like to throw at us :-) We're here to help! Cheers, - Benjamin (Aloha Editor Team Member)
