My partner usually writes substack posts which I then mirror to our website’s blog section. To automate this, I made a simple tool to scrape the post and clean it so that I can drop it to our blog easily. This might be useful to others as well. Oh and ofcourse you can instruct GPT to make any final edits :D

Hey HN! I've build a simple tool to index and search your documents. This uses two great open source libraries: apache tika (for extracting content from docs) and apache lucene (for searching). It's been built with kotlin ktor as a web framework. You can index all kind of files (i.e doc, docx, xls, ppt, pdf, txt, html even ORC pdfs) and then search them using very advanced queries like "always contain X", "never contain X", "X near Y", wildcard search, proper stemming support etc. We're using it on my work where we have hundreds of thousands of doc/docx/pdf files and it works…

Hello HN, I'm excited to share a project I've been working on: A simple, fast way to process huge CSV and XLSX files directly in your browser and export them as clean JSON or XML Here's a few things that makes this converter different: - runs in the browser - all parsing and conversion is client side can handle data any size data - automatically detects delimiters, encodings, and data types as it parses - Live preview with column renaming, search/replace, and data cleanup - Export to JSON or XML — clean, structured output that can be used for API or Databases backstory: I built this…

Think interactive grep for text files, PDFs, DOCXs, etc, but word/token based instead of regex and line based, so you can search across lines easily. Docfd aims to provide good UX via integration with common text editors and PDF viewers, so you can jump directly to a search result with a single key press. --- I originally wrote this tool to help me dig through text/markdown notes, since very often I want to search for a phrase of sorts that may span across multiple lines, but constructing the corresponding multiline regex is a bit painful (especially painful if I want to account…

Hi, I'm Andrew Trettel. I'm a scientist and researcher. I wrote Wosp to help me search local documents using Boolean and proximity operators. Wosp is a command-line program that performs full-text search on text documents. Wosp stands for word-oriented search and print. It is designed for advanced searchers. It works differently than line-oriented search tools like grep, so it can search for matches spanning multiple lines. Wosp supports an expressive query language that contains both Boolean and proximity operators. It also supports nested queries, truncation, wildcard characters, and fuzzy…

Hey HN, Philip here, Co-founder at Tiptap (https://tiptap.dev/). We just shipped an upgrade to our DOCX import and export capabilities, including new extensions, new endpoints, better formatting handling, and custom node support. This may be for you if your product deals with Microsoft Word files in any way. We rebuilt our DOCX handling pipeline to give developers more control and flexibility: - Import endpoint: Converts .docx to Tiptap JSON, accurately handles complex formatting (lists, tables, inline styles). - Export extension: Generates .docx from your editor content,…
