This is nice, but is pretty much useless on a tablet. I realize that desktop users are the primary focus, but it seems like any new editor has to consider tablet/mobile use.

It must be a difficult problem. Without using some kind of plain text markup syntax like Markdown, the user is required to select some text for formatting, but then you're competing with the OS's UI actions.

Are there any good mobile/tablet browser-based editors that _my mom_ would use?

I'd be interested too! I think on iPad, the easiest thing is to have a fixed toolbar at the top of text area. (But still, this repo is a very nice work!)

"The above code will transform all the elements with the .editable class into HTML5 editable contents"

I think that means contentEditable, which is how Medium works. (Part of the "death to textareas" movement.)

Also, it's a cool library, but to state the obvious, I hope they change the name.

But how would that work? Is the experience as per Android that if you select text then the OS cut-and-paste dialogue appears?

Nice, a few similar projects if someone need something slightly different: https://github.com/mduvall/grande.js https://github.com/sofish/pen https://github.com/tholman/zenpen

And another one http://bergie.iki.fi/blog/hallo-editor/ (integrates nicely with Aloha editor, http://aloha-editor.org/)
