Writely Does It Right

October 18, 2005 | 13 Comments

I recently discovered a web based document or content editor called WritelyMatt at Bork Web tried it out and gave me his opinions on it so I decided to take a stab at it as well. It is a Web 2.0 application that intends to replace Microsoft Word.  I consder this similar to the way Gmail completely changed what we expect out of web-based email clients.  Now I want all content editing to work just like Writely.  I’m actually writing this blog post in Writely, since they have the ability to post content directly to a blog using the standard blogging APIs.  If this works out, it will certainly replace all reliance I had on Ecto.

OK, for testing purposes I’m going to try a couple text styles out just to see how they post through.

List:

  • element 1
  • element 2
    • sub element
  • element 3

Some boldness and a bit of italics, followed by a touch of underlined text.

 

I also placed the image in the top left with the WYSIWYG too.
