Testing Ecto

Filed February 16, 2008 under Randumb by Drew | 0 comments

So the new version of ecto is significantly improved over the last version I tested on Mac OS X back when I decided to roll my own blog editor. Seriously I could eventually write a lot of these great features into the old CharismaticDog.app but it’d be nowhere near as fast and I don’t really have the time anymore.

More importantly if I do have the time, I should focus it on adding content to this site or making music.

So far ecto’s new WYSIWYG editor is cruising along nicely:

  • bulleted lists
  • simple markup
  • good toolbar
  • nice linking features
  • responsive
  • pleasant appearance

There’s also a nice preview in the post list view. I’m also going to test it with UThink Blogs.

Update:

I didn’t even think to test images… probably because I’ve been doing without for so long…

It uploaded and thumb-nailed like a champ. About the only thing I could ask for now is some wicked cool js-image-browser-foo to be built in.
