| Thanks for all of these (and to the original poster, too). As it happens, I just started looking at editors for a mobile application. Some instant thoughts: Create seems to work fine on the iPad. Mercury sort of works, but kept switching out of edit mode for some reason. Aloha didn't seem to work at all. As with some of the other commenters, I'm not wild about having the editor tied to a Rails backend (I didn't explore what kind of backend requirements Create has, though they seem to imply on the front page that it's at least somewhat portable). The only other editor I've found that appears to work on the iPad out of the box is CKEditor. My old standby, TinyMCE, is supposed to support it, but I didn't have much luck (it may be that this isn't in the release yet -- I'll go back and explore the source tree later). Granted, Apple has only had proper support for contenteditble on iOS for a couple of months, but I urge editor teams to please try to make their stuff work on the iPad. There's a huge unmet demand for that, and there's a first-mover advantage here. :-) If they can do something clever with the UI to make the editor also usable on a device with a smaller screen (e.g. the iPhone), they'll really be cooking with gas. |
* Your web system has to publish content with RDFa annotations * You need to have some API you can connect to Backbone.sync
...and even the latter isn't so bad, as Backbone.sync can be overridden in your local implementation. For example, we use the same stuff with Socket.IO instead of REST: https://github.com/IKS/ViePalsu/blob/master/js/contentmanage...
