Cool, and great work! I had a small e-mail conversation with Josh (forgot his last name) a couple of years back, I thought he worked on Wysihat alone. I have seen and tested some RTEs for the web, and I can only imagine how hard it is to co

Last time I saw Basecamp (then 37signals) working on a rich text editor is a long time ago. What happened to WysiHat? I know it had another developer than the two guys who made Trix. What I especially liked about WysiHat was the complete ba
