bootstrap-wysihtml5 was a great inspiration. it links in wysihtml5, and gives it a skin. here's a few reasons why we decided to build this one:
- wysihtml5 minimised is 112K + 20k for bootstrap-wysihtml5, without styles and images... this is only 5k, non-minimised.
- we bind hotkeys for common operations automatically (eg cmd+b for bold etc)
- drag&drop for images
- automatically upload images using filereader, not just provide links
- good support for touch devices
- no magic around toolbar, so you can use your own styling
- we don't force an inline iframe which mirrors a text area, which wysihtml5 does
Wysihtml5 has a better support for older browsers, the bootstrap skin has toolbar translations, so I'd still use that if you don't want a custom toolbar or need to support older browsers
