Better Docx Import and Export Support for Tiptap Editor
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,…

In plain words
Tiptap Editor's upgraded DOCX support enables developers to convert Microsoft Word files to and from their editor content with improved formatting handling. The import endpoint transforms .docx files into Tiptap JSON while preserving complex formatting like lists, tables, and inline styles. The export extension generates .docx files from editor content and supports custom nodes for application-specific components. Developers can run conversions on frontend or backend and maintain control over output styling to match their application's design.

Open-source .docx editor library for building document appsMay 2026 · github.com · ▲107We 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.

Hey HN! Pilots everywhere are required to keep a logbook of all their flying hours, aircraft, airports, and so on. Since I track everything digitally (some people still just use paper logbooks!), I put together some data visualizations and a few 3D globes to show my flying history. This globe is probably my favourite so far: https://jameshard.ing/pilot/globes/all If you’ve got ideas for other graphs or ways to show this kind of data, I’d love to hear them!

I was the main contributor to workout.lol, an open-source fitness app to easily build a workout routine. The project had traction (1.4k GitHub stars, 95 forks, ~20K visits/month), but was eventually sold due to video licensing hurdles. The new owner stopped maintaining it, and the repo went abandoned. Over the next 9 months, I sent 15 emails to try to save it : no replies. Feature requests & issues were ignored. The community was left with a "broken" tool let's say. I couldn't just let it die So I built the new version from scratch with the same open-source spirit, but a better…
