Hey Product Hunt, Jedrzej and Matej from EigenPal (YC W26) here. We're launching docx-editor, an open-source, MIT-licensed WYSIWYG .docx editor that runs entirely in the browser. When we started building EigenPal (a document automation platform for legal, banking, and insurance), we went looking for an open-source web editor that could handle real Word documents. There wasn't one. The existing options fell into three buckets: 1. Proprietary SDKs that cost a fortune and lock you in 2. AGPL libraries you can't freely use in a commercial product 3. Free editors that convert .docx to some intermediate JSON format and back, which mangles formatting on every round-trip For verticals where a misplaced clause or a broken table is a real problem, none of those work. So we built our own and open sourced it. We’ve seen that many companies that need to support Word editing in their product adopted it. What makes it different? It's native to .docx. The document model IS the Word model, so there's no lossy import/export step. What you load is what you save, byte-faithful to the parts you didn't touch. You get a Google Docs-like experience on top of that: - WYSIWYG editing with real Word fidelity (formatting, tables, images, hyperlinks, page layout) - Track changes, comments with replies and resolution - Plugin system for extending the toolbar and behavior - i18n with community translations - Realtime collaboration with Yjs - Agent-ready API: headless package for LLMs to read, comment, and propose tracked changes on .docx files Get started fast: `npm install @eigenpal/docx-js-editor` Drop-in React + TypeScript editor. MIT licensed. Explore docs: https://docx-editor.dev/ We released the repo about 2 months ago and crossed 500 GitHub stars in the first month, which honestly surprised us. Turns out a lot of people have been quietly waiting for this. - GitHub: https://github.com/eigenpal/docx... - Website: https://docx-editor.dev/ We'd love feedback, especially from anyone with weird legacy .docx files that break every editor libraries they've ever touched. Throw them at us. We'll be in the comments all day.
