Products that do what Word in Web – Near MS Word Parity Docx Editor in Web does
Word in web is a pure JS docx editor/renderer benched against MS Word directly. This was largely inspired by Eigenpal going closed source, and some personal frustrations I had with working on complex Word templates, pleading papers, etc... and not having a clean way to view/edit them without owning MS Word (which I did just eventually buy but it sucked). This was also an exercise in highlighting the value of good evals for Agents to bench against.

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.

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.

We're building version control software for Microsoft Office documents that works as well as Git and GitHub do for code. Today, we’re releasing the first component, Draftable for Word, an Office add-in that lets you generate side-by-side diffs, and makes it way less painful to work with Track Changes. Our diffs are designed to look right to humans — instead of machines — showing changes as they might actually have been made by an editor. We'd love to hear your feedback. We’d also love to fix what you find painful about authoring and collaborating on Microsoft Office documents, so get in…
