Does someone actually uses this tools for editing webpages? I find them really uncomfortable. Not trying to flame, just an honest question.

I actually have been looking for something like this. Mainly so I can give some nontechnical people access to edit different parts of a page. This hasn't been easy to set up in drupal or wordpress (without a large learning curve on their parts). I might give Copybar a try and see if it works out for me.

I think this is the beginning of the end for Facebook.

Let me explain ...

Like AOL, Facebook is a walled garden reproducing what is standard and open on the web/internet as a whole. AOL had AOL email, Facebook has html homepages, and RSS/ATOM

But "people" cannot create their own content - they cannot write HTML, host web pages etc. But contenteditable fixes all that - and with the clever Dropbox tie in, anyone can start with a templated page, drag and drop images from their own desktop, (#) and publish themselves.

Add in RSS via Javascript and its all over.

(#) oh yes drag and drop images onto a web page - its soooo cool. Aloha supports it at least.

Let me get this straight -- my grandma has to get a Dropbox (what's that?), download a templated page, fill it her own images, and then figure out how to publish it?

Also, there are a lot easier ways out there to publish your own content online (Weebly, Tumblr, etc) but that doesn't seem to have stopped Facebook.

Doesn't seem that anyone has mentioned this, but that watermark is the only thing stopping me from immediately putting this into production. Would be nicer from a consumer perspective if I could try this out in production with the full feature set, but just a limited element quantity.

Interesting. Though of course you can just use my http://createjs.org/ and get pretty much the same thing for free :-)

Your site fails to load almost completely past the homepage, when I try to use your demo I get quite of a bit of resources 504ing.
