Show HN: Rich Text Editor Meets Drag and Drop
"We/I" in the following description refer to the two-person team.
In short:
* This is going to be a commercial project
* We want to get some general feedback from you
Rich Builder editor goals:
* Build content fast & efficiently
* WYSIWYG, live and uninterrupted editing
* Rich & customizable widget base - focus on content creation with variety beyond linear text & images
A few highlights:
* It's platform agnostic. Initially it will plug in to WordPress, Drupal & Joomla, custom frameworks later on, too
* It can be used as is as a full featured content editor out of the box on top of your website,
* but you can build a website/theme around it from scratch as well.
* It is highly customizable. You can plug in your own widgets, styles, UI effects and more.
* Each widget is customizable to some extent but with an aim of not overdoing things and keeping it simple
* Think of it as more than rich text editor but less than photoshop
In general we'd like you to take a look at it and send usage feedback our way. What you like/dislike the most in particular. Some notes:
* In the current preview some widget options are a bit clunky to use. They may feel cluttered and non-specialized. We're working on providing option-unique interfaces for some of them and cleaning things up already.
* Widget base is simple right now, blueprint-ish even, we will be gradually extending it to eventually include widgets such as sliders, external feeds (twitter, flickr etc) and more.
* We are aware that there are other tools similar to this one out there already on the market. Our is a bit different, not better (neither now nor never perhaps) but different.
Other than that we will appreciate your insight regarding anything. Thanks!
