   Thanks! Our core product is a Word editor that you can embed in your React / Vue app. So we just repurposed the layout engine to be an accurate converter. You can see how our layout engine "sees" the document in the left tab

   Thanks for reporting! We do have perf tests for editing docs over 50 pages, but something in the demo doc must indeed be slowing edits down, this is not expected behaviour. Filed an issue https://github.com/eigenpal/doc

   Happy to hear that! :) The repo has actually been public for ~3 months, but we only launched the project homepage https://www.docx-editor.dev recently, so search engines are still catching up. > I was scouring the internet fo

    Thanks! The hard here part is not typescript implementation but it's catching Word undocumented quirks. The OOXML spec gets you far but doesn't cover 100% of how Word renders things. Community feedback has helped a lot here, users

    We don’t have a formal '% compatibility' metric yet, but it’s on our radar as a feedback loop mechanism for self-improvement. For now, we mostly rely on testing with our own and customer docs. In practice, we were seeing solid res

    Fair point, we know the editor isn't yet 1:1 with Word. When you built yours, was Word your source of truth (reverse-engineering sense), or did you stick to MS-OE376? And any recommended process for systematically uncovering those undo
