Sir Trevor

Sir Trevor is a structured editor and lightweight content integration tool. It's an intuitive rich content editor for the web that does not presuppose anything about how it will be rendered. It allows developers to create controls for specific content types like images, YouTube videos or anything that they can imagine. It's incredibly easy to create custom content types and get up and running quickly. It was borne out of the work Made by Many did with ITV for their news website and developed specifically to solve the problem of composing content for their website and mobile apps.

Made by Many designed this simple yet sophisticated rich content editor for news journalists at ITV. It was built to solve the problem of rich content editing that was difficult to do well on the web. But Sir Trevor is so much more than a rich content editor. It's also a lightweight content integration tool. Through a compassable API, it allows developers to create custom "blocks" that can be used to integrate external content easily into a document. External services like YouTube or Soundcloud can be integrated with Sir Trevor with only a few lines of JavaScript without the need to create complex back end import tools.

We increasingly live in a world where content needs to be responsive to multiple screen resolutions and compatible with output on many devices. As such Sir Trevor does not presuppose how content will be output and does not attempt to mirror how content will be rendered in its final form. As such Sir Trevor does not save HTML. Rather, it creates a JSON structure that represents the data associated with created content and it's order. This allows the content to be templated in any number of ways for any number of platforms such as mobile apps, websites or connected TV's. Templates can be easily updated at any time which gives the designers and developers vary fine control over the layout and display of specific pieces of content.

Since creating the project and open sourcing it, Sir Trevor has been downloaded thousands of times and used by companies such as the BBC, ITV and The Times and Sunday Times.

Jury Commentary
Very simple, straightforward, and elegant
This particular project was very, very simple, very straightforward, very elegant.
Most importantly, it generated responsive design, which is important these days to make sure that your content can be readable on both computers as well as mobile devices.
