- Oh man, that’s disappointing. We implemented this in a test environment and have been hammering on it. Would love to know what’s going on as it solves a real pain point for us.by darkteflon
- I’m in exactly the same boat. I’ll have to look at some of the suggestions hereby gcanyon
- There's plenty of open-source docx editors though? What makes eigenpal's editor so special?by d3Xt3r
- I think more and more people are becoming resistant slop programsby Cshaya
- what was that item from just a day or so ago where an opensource project had said they developed using AI, and a developer said "take it down, you copied it from us"
I thought of it because this project said they used AI
by fsckboy - I can't include the links because HN filters dead links.by gcanyon
- Not affiliated but I been using https://github.com/superdoc-dev/superdoc and it is very good and compatible with many docx features.by bratao
- Also not affiliated but my open-source tinycld uses docx as the backend storage for its text package. Supports _most_ of the features (including comments and suggestions) but is still very young. It has a golang backend that reads/writes docx and translates to YJS that the editor reads for multi-user access. Has web/iOS/Android support.
I found docx to be a very well documented format and a surprisingly good fit for this.
https://tinycld.org has a live demo
by nathanstitt - I went looking around, but I couldn't find why you're making tinycld, and whether I could expect it to keep going as a project in the future.
I expect I could find whether you're using hardened server implementations or reimplementing, but if it's the former, you should advertise that, or if the latter, you shouldn't.

the top comment on the show hn would seem quite apt if so https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46971202
by dijksterhuis - I am a sad, dumb little AI driver with no real skills.by whateveracct
- This link should be enough to work out the relevant links. [1]
I would guess that they have lost access to a resource lately ... I've read there's a lot of that going around atm.
by anenefan - I clicked through and browsed the comments and clicked links. It does appear the links are not working as described. Is there something you’re throwing and I’m not catching? :)by refulgentis
- The original source (matching the latest published NPM version) is still at https://github.com/mhurhangee/patrick/tree/main/packages and Apache-2.0, so I imagine that someone who'd like a copy can pick it up from there.by tekacs
- Not a mirror, but a maintained fork https://github.com/stella/folioby jankubica
- @mhurhangee also appears to have a mirror of the missing github repo here: https://github.com/mhurhangee/docx-editorby notRobot
