I've been sketching out ideas of what a new editor interface would look like. The editor is, by far, the most important interface for any users of Tabulas - getting this right will set the tone. 

Today's task was getting a good baseline for a WYSIWYG experience. Here's the first version. Some things to note:

• Custom fonts will play a heavy role in the update - I find myself writing more when I see nice text. 
• Eliminated double scrollbars - the editor expands to the height of the content
• Since the content expands, the toolbar will follow you wherever you go
• Many options in the toolbar have been eliminated. Styling in the new Tabulas for individual entries will only be done in HTML mode (i.e. advanced users). I've never been a big fan of letting users style their own posts - the template designers should have done a decent job of defining some defaults. 

Let me know what you think!
