Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Web Design and Content : TypeRoom CMS/Editor - any thoughts?

Yesterday, a prospective client sent me a link to TypeRoom, wondering if it was viable alternative for him to consider. I watched the video on the site, and I have to say, the product looks remarkable, if the markup it writes is clean. This is the type of thing I might try to license on a per-server basis and run at the root, rather than remotely (if this is available).

Has anyone had any experience with TypeRoom? If so, what are your thoughts? I'll demo it myself soon.

So, I did a 10 second test. It used <strong> tags when I bolded my text. I'm 50/50 on this, since bold is a style element and strength is structural. <strong> is better than <b>, but technically bolding should be done using font-weight, and <strong> should be saved for text to which you want to add strength.

I attempted to edit both an HTML and XHTML document, and it respected the doctypes with appropriate markup. It did add a line break where I wouldn't think it should have. But it is in beta. I think this may be worth investigating more closely...

Sure looks quite interesting, I am quite impressed with this, it looks and works pretty well under quick examination, although I am still airing on the sceptical side I will definately keep an eye on this and see how it develops. Keep an eye on this thread and I will update you with my personal findings in due course.
