Writely Does It Right
October 18, 2005 | 13 Comments
I recently discovered a web based document or content editor called Writely. Matt 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.
