Since they didn't put a demo up on their site, here's one cobbled from their documentation:

The site [1] even pulls in the Trix editor source (js/trix.js), but doesn't do anything with it. I guess it's not finished? But they put in enough effort to add a blinking cursor animation--why not slap in a sample editor as well?

Please tell me this is a humane alternative to TinyMCE, CKEditor, etc?

Neat, thanks! Literally just this morning I was thinking to myself that I would give just about anything for a high quality OSS rich text editor capable of generating terse, correct HTML output.

And here, not even 24 hours later, one just falls into my lap.

The demo GIFs going around on Twitter a few weeks ago made me really excited for this.
