For HN readers in Berlin: we're having a hackathon about VIE, Create.js, and Hallo next week. If you're interested, add yourself to the event page on Lanyrd: http://lanyrd.com/2012/createjs-hackathon-berlin/

Definitely interesting - I dislike how it overlays the text to be edited in some cases, but that's probably a configuration option.

I like Aloha, in concept, but it looks like it's kitchen-sinked. An absolutely minimal configurable editor is definitely preferable.

We started with Aloha as well, but some of the project partners needed an editor option with more permissive licensing (Aloha is AGPL, Hallo is MIT). And of course getting rid of the huge ExtJS dependency was a plus.

Here is an old video interview we had with the Aloha Editor team back when things were just getting started: http://vimeo.com/12914595

The undo/redo buttons are toggling, while they shouldn’t. (would like to respond under the blog post, but DISQUS didn’t work.)

Kwpolska, you can't respond here (about the buttons toggling) since you're banned from HN.

Hmmm

This looks really interesting especially for editing large blocks of data that are generally static (think something like a profile summary instead of something like a blog post). I'm definitely going to try it out in a little weekend project I am working on.
