It's good to see these types of services pop up because "loosely coupled web services" has always been our design goal - ie. we never want to add features into Decal, we'd much rather rely on a rich ecosystem to provide functionality (eg. dropbox for files, wufoo for forms, easel for editing HTML etc.)

I'm really interested in how Easel could work with our CMS, which takes HTML (with a few extra attributes) as input[1] - ping me on [email protected] if you're interested in chatting.

This is awesome! Our company allows customers to create templates using editors like CuteEditor and Redactor, but this would absolutely blow those options away!

Will keep an eye out for 3rd party integrations in the future!

Woohoo! I loved the site but felt limited by the fact that I couldn't just "edit-source" and fix things. It's great that this feature is finally in.

Thanks! Noted on the ability to edit the source directly.

Having just seen the subtlepatterns bookmarklet it would be awesome if you had a subtlepatterns available in your background picker.

'Since the web is viewed in a browser, we believe it should be built in one too.'

Wait, why?

We strongly believe that the only way to know what something we really look like is to work in the medium in which it will be ultimately be presented in.

Anything less will just be an approximation of the final product.

I've been using Easel for a month now, and I can honestly say it's awesome!

Zoom to fit would be very much appreciated on my 15inch laptop screen.

It does actually do this. Do you want the demo document's to zoom? If the document wont fit in the viewport on load, it will zoom. Also, if the document is really small, it will zoom in to fit on load.
