#42Earlier quoted context omitted.
Thank you for the high praise. We definitely view the API as our main differentiator vs other editors. Hope you will not be disappointed!
Oh is this the one from the Guardian? Great to see a release, I've been meaning to have a proper look since the announcement.
This project was started originally at Stypi where we needed an editor with a better API than just getting/setting the text to support coauthoring. We didn't find any good enough and because it was core to our product, we started to build our own.
Stypi was acquired by Salesforce in 2012 but we continued to work on Quill because we felt it was a missing piece of the web. We're now working for GoInstant (also acquired by Salesforce in 2012), who are also working on some very cool stuff.
Quill was originally called Scribe but then another editor released a bit ago with the same name so we changed it to Quill.

#43Looks fantastic, but I can't use it in my projects because it only seems to support very recent versions of IE (9+), Android (4.3+) and iOS/Safari (7+). I don't care about IE, but I do need to support Android phones from 2012.
Is there really no way to write a modern rich text editor that remains compatible (and/or degrades gracefully) with slightly older browsers?

#44Forgive the TL;DR; - the examples on the site don't include any image inserting. How would I go about adding image insertion capability? Would the idea be that I build/find an image handler plugin module and add it in?

#45this looks cool and super easy to add bidirectional HTML markdown support similar to the demo i did for redactor-js here: http://leeoniya.github.io/redactor-js/ using https://github.com/leeoniya/reMarked.js and https://github.com/chjj/marked may just have to do this after work today if no one gets to it first.
If anyone's interested in two-way markdown/HTML editing, give visual-marks.com a try, it syncs contents both way.

If you want to use the same image tooltip as the homepage, you just need to add the 'image-tooltip' module and have a toolbar button with the class 'sc-image'. We didn't add it to the examples page editors for aesthetics (the tooltip is bigger than the editor) and thought it was sufficient to just demo the capability on the front page.
We realize and apologies for the lack of documentation for modules. One reason is the module interface is not finalized because we're not sure what the community will dream up and wanted to get feedback before making a decision that might unintentionally exclude certain use cases or encourage unsustainable designs. Depending on what's decided we will probably add functionality to the existing image tooltip. We'd love for you to be involved in the discussion if this is an area of interest.

#47Doesn't work great on Firefox for Android, despite claims to the contrary. It looks great for desktop, though.
Quill developer here. I'll look into the issue for Firefox for Android. It appears to be doing something different than its desktop counterpart. Feel free to submit an issue on Github for tracking though. It will be tough to officially support Firefox on Android though as we use Sauce for automation and it does not appear to be supported there.
Regular Firefox doesn't seem to be fully supported either. I've tried to select a line by double-clicking on it then clicking on the "B" button, but instead of making the line bold, it unselected it, selected the first character or word (depending on the line), and made it bold.
If I only select a few words it seems to work though.

#48Quill looks promising,but pasting from word doesn't seem to work.Most editors built today focus a lot on semantic tags generated for bold() and not much on paste from word.Would love to see an editor that implements proper paste from ms word

Word is a quite a PITA indeed, have yet to find a client-side editor that reliably strips out the boatloads of extraneous markup that a simple copy-paste from Word generates.

#50Congrats on releasing Quill! I've been following the development since it was called "Scribe" and I'm excited it's released. I noticed there seems to be support for block level formatting (e.g. "h1"), but it doesn't look like it's been implemented yet. What's your plan for handling bullets, headings, block quotes, and other block level formatting options?
I was using scribe recently, but quill seems more promising. as far as i can tell, they both have basically the same functionality but quill works in a browser with require.js
