A weekend side project done by kenshin54 and myself, hope it is working for you. And it's far more powerful than it presents.

Seems to lack a license. I'm assuming the intention was to make this open source?

Anyway, great work! Many similarities in the UI to my http://hallojs.org/ editor. I'd love to integrate this with Create.js if you can clarify the license question...

Very nice. Agreed with another commenter that the default animations could be snappier.

I have a complaint: like many HTML WYSIWYG tools, modes are not directly reversible. For example, select a word then click the "numbered list" button. Then click it again to switch back to a normal paragraph. Oddly, a new paragraph has been added above your selection.

So many HTML WYSIWYG tools have this kind of quirk, leading to very polluted output HTML (with empty tags, redundant tags, and so on).

Yep, not so many editor do this right.The only editor I know fix this pain is the medium's editor.

But their function are so limit.

Could use a bit of a margin on the bottom of the menu. It tends to sit over the text, either partially or completely which probably isn't really the expected behavior for an edit menu.

Pretty cool! Reminds me of the UI on medium.com (selecting text on view mode allows sharing and commenting, and on edit mode pops up a floating format toolbar).

Yeah, Medium's editor just give us the spark, and kenshin54 said he can make it cooler, and here it is.

Looks interesting! A few thoughts to make a bit nicer to use: it could be much smaller, and flow slightly higher above the text. Also the animations between different modes (for text align, etc) should be faster so I don't feel like I'm waiting on it.

Great start, might use this for something!

Would you add the ability to export the HTMl code?

You need to add an 's' at the end of "provide".
