Since we were tired of the ugliness and size of TinyMCE — our previous WYSIWYG solution —, we decided to see if we could find a good replacement.
Luckily 37signals released a WYSIWYG editor last year called WysiHat, the “eventually better open source WYSIWYG editor”, so we tried it out. It was simple, no fancy themes or color schemes, just the backend code.
After playing with it for a while, we found a lot of hidden and undocumented features like including images or adding unordered lists. We decided to fork the project to write some more examples.
WysiHat is a great project and has a lot of potential, but probably hasn’t got the attention it deserves for a while now. There are some missing features you’d expect from a WYSIWYG editor, but the general idea is very, very good.
Joshua Peek told us the project is on hold; “We’re planning to revisit the wysiwyg stuff in early 2010. So you can expect me to jump back in then.”, but we hope there will be more activity from the rest of the community before that.

We built the standard stuff like image uploading and html editing using WysiHat for a project we’re working on and we thought others could use it so we built the “WysiHat Rails Engine” and released it to the world.
