As someone who had tried to implement a modern rich text editor with custom plugins, this seems like a terrific solution to a real problem. I had used a fairly nice wrapper around contenteditable[0], but this seems like a much more featureful, easily extensible option. The other options (CKEditor seemed most popular) are heavyweight, complex, poorly documented solutions that don't seem amenable to easily creating lightweight plugins, modules, etc.
I have high hopes for what these guys produce.
EDIT: Just wanted to add that looking through the API docs, it seems to solve exactly the problems I had. Would have made a measurable difference to my business to have had this, if it does what it says it does.

- jhchen 13y agoThank you for the high praise. We definitely view the API as our main differentiator vs other editors. Hope you will not be disappointed!
- slight 13y agoOh is this the one from the Guardian? Great to see a release, I've been meaning to have a proper look since the announcement.
- jhchen 13y agoThis project was started originally at Stypi where we needed an editor with a better API than just getting/setting the text to support coauthoring. We didn't find any good enough and because it was core to our product, we started to build our own. Stypi was acquired by Salesforce in 2012 but we continued to work on Quill because we felt it was a missing piece of the web. We're now working for GoInstant (also acquired by Salesforce in 2012), who are also working on some very cool stuff. Quill was originally called Scribe but then another editor released a bit ago with the same name so we changed it to Quill.
