Show HN: JavaScript-first, open-source WYSIWYG DOCX editor
thisisjedr Monday, February 09, 2026
We needed a JS-first WYSIWYG DOCX editor and couldn't find a solid OSS option, most were either commercial or abandoned.
As an experiment, we gave Claude Code the OOXML spec, a concrete editor architecture, and a Playwright-based test suite. The agent iterated in a (Ralph) loop over a few nights and produced a working editor from scratch.
Core text editing works today. Tables and images are functional but still incomplete. MIT licensed.
