    Open-source .docx editor library for building document apps▲107

    We are working on an open-source .docx editor library for apps that need to edit Word documents in the browser. We just shipped 1.0. A lot of existing approaches convert .docx into HTML and lose document semantics along the way. Our editor parses OOXML directly and uses its own rendering+layout engine to produce paged documents with html/css. Edits round-trip back to .docx, so you’re always editing the document, not its representation. The core rendering engine is framework agnostic, with React and Vue ui adapters on top. It’s Apache 2.0. Happy to answer questions.

    Generate docs from your public repos▲27

    Hello HN, I’m Andrew from docs.dev (https://docs.dev/), an AI powered docs assistant. With docs.dev you can generate your docs directly from your codebase, existing docs and other context sources. We don’t believe AI will replace technical writers—our goal is to make it easier for teams to get a solid first draft that they can review, edit, and improve. Think of it as a head start, not a finished product. More info on what we’ve built below but we wanted to release a quick, 1 minute, generate docs from your codebase tool. Try it out here:…
