#2If you make this into a Wordpress plugin it would be on every install in a week.

#3It's obviously in its early stages, but I like the idea. Seems obvious that editing websites in the website itself is much more straight-forward than using some kind of backend (for small-scale CMS).

#4Inline editing is quite nice. I wonder if I am missing something about this: it seems to only offer italic/bold/underline/strike-through and no structural options?
Plug-and-play inline editing for various CMSs would be nice. If this had more features, I could see using it with a structured, lightweight CMS like Perch [1] to edit structured content inline with the published pages.

#5I've seen Thoughtbot do this with Copycopter (https://copycopter.com/) as well as Plone and others. It's a great way to sell user-editing features to your clientele, but I would always start with actual copy prior to enabling it as real copy is just as important as functionality for product design.
Yes, the marketing folks will just send you a bunch of disjointed word docs and expect you to assume that they'll fill in the blanks at a later date. Something that never happens.

#6Great idea, the style pop-up doesn't always close in FF. But there you have it.

#7One bug I've found: selecting more than a line and applying bold or italics is not reversible. (Win7 x32, Chrome 15.0.874.121)

Does it need structural options?
At work, I'm supposed to change a lot of our existing websites over to "Wordpress CMS" because it'll make it easier for the admin staff to modify the website, for updates and such.
The problem is, they need to locate the login then they need to remember their account info, then they need to find the right page they want to modify, then they have to do a bunch of other clicks to get what they want.
Unfortunately, this tends to go woosh right over a lot of heads, and therefore stuff simply doesn't get updated - they send the 'update' via email to IT.
The cool thing about this createjs thing, is that you design the website, you put up the content and you have a simple login form. Everything is editable by clicking and typing directly from the site you're looking at.
I'm sure it'll help in situations like mine, for sure.

#9Concrete5 (a CMS) has a main feature lot like this. Worth checking out for those not looking to reinvent the wheel.

There's another bug where if you click edit repeatedly in rapid succession, the green flash animation is queued and plays repeatedly.
I think this can be altered by calling stop() before animate()? But it's been a bit since I worked with jQuery.
