Good stuff.
FYI, tried on Android, didn't work (nothing happens).

#52The pricing seems way out of wack. If, for instance, I wanted to use your product to create a squarespace competitor, I'd need a $99 licence per user per month?
I can't actually think of a practical use case for the Pro-xx accounts. A fairly simple blog would easily have a 100 assets or more. Even a simple corporate blog would have 100 assets after a few months.
In particular, I'm trying to figure out what your expected use case is for the Pro-20 account ... what kind of site would I have only 20 assets that I want multiple editors to be able to change?
Websites tend to be many asset/many editors or many assets/few editors. I can't think of too many few assets/many editor situations.

#53Does 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.
Copybar cofounder here, that is one of our primary use cases. Instances when a CMS fails to address access controls for nontechnical people. Even drupal and wp can seem overwhelming to some. The best thing is Copybar can sit on top of Drupal and Wordpress. If you do end up using it let us know, we'd love to be able to feature some live implementations.

#54...so my site would have and ADMINISTRATIVE/EDITORIAL feature that depends on a 3rd party service now?! Thanks but no thanks...
(Sometimes I wish people would go back to the golden days of "software as a product" instead of the current "everything as a service" way of selling things... I just wanna pay for it once, include it as a plugin for my CMS and MAYBE pay extra for some kind of support... and yes, I would be willing to pay for an upgrate to the next version too...)

#56Just one small feedback as a designer, if you want to see more conversions for sign-ups, convert that black sign-up button into green. Other than that, it's perfect!
Design impaired developer here; i'm interested to know how you picked green as being a trigger for more conversions, is there some data with A/B testing this color choice comes from?
Yes, I think there's a famous book on Psychology of colors, I don't remember its name, but it explains in great depth about colors affect purchases...

#57I 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 st…

That's great - I only know of Aloha but this whole new ecosystem springing up from contenteditabke is really impressive.
Whilst it is of course possible to replace a CMS with flat HTML files what is the main target Market you see for this?

#59Earlier quoted context omitted.
The good thing about Hallo is, besides licensing and easy plugin development, the fact that it uses plain, unstyled contentEditables, so the stuff you're editing looks exactly like it will look on the real page. I integrated Redactor as another editor option in Create.js a while back, but it looks a bit strange because it changes the styling of the currently active content area. Other than that it is very simple and…
Hallo looks amazing! I need to find a way to integrate this into Drupal.
The work being done in http://drupal.org/node/1774312 may be a good start
